Those who follow my musings know about my deep conviction that our broken healthcare system is the result of a leadership crisis in American healthcare. We are saddled with inauthenticity, poor execution and incomplete consideration of the tradeoffs required to build and run systems that rein in costs while improving patient outcomes.
Lately I’ve been fantasizing about fixing these problems by building an academy to train the current next generation of principled healthcare leaders. In those fantasies, I’ve purchased some land in Westchester County, New York. It’s hard to spot from the air, and you’d never notice it if you walked by. But peer behind the trees and rugged landscape and inside you’ll find what I call, with apologies to Marvel, The Xavier School for Healthcare Leaders.
