Sample chapter opening

The most useful idea in a hospital is not always the one that arrives with the most elaborate technology. Sometimes the crucial insight comes from a nurse explaining why a handoff fails at a particular hour, or from a patient describing the three different forms they must complete to receive one service. Innovation begins by taking those observations seriously. A leader's task is to create a structure that turns them into a safe, measurable experiment and, when warranted, a dependable new way of working.

Author’s fictional perspective

Institutional change is valuable only when it makes care more accessible, safe and understandable to the people it is meant to serve.
