In this episode, we dive into three fascinating ideas: the Two Loops Model of paradigm shift, the Impact Networks playbook by David Ehrlichman, and the Healthcare Reinvention initiative. We break down how systems evolve, why collaborative networks are key to large-scale change, and whether healthcare reform is truly addressing health or just fixing a broken system. Plus, we explore insights from Dr. Eric Bricker and Dr. Vinay Prasad on why medical schools and payment structures resist transformation—get ready for a lively, thought-provoking discussion!
