Your Health is Your Choice with Sara Troy and her guest Douglas Slakey, MD MPH, on air from November 21st.

In The Process Manifesto, author Douglas Slakey, MD MPH, advocates for process improvement that empowers teams to optimize patient care. 

Each of us will be both a patient and caregiver at some point in our lives. We all want a healthcare system that supports everyone.  In The Process Manifesto, Dr. Doug Slakey guides caregivers, patients, and healthcare organizations to obtain the best clinical outcomes with respect and compassion.

Despite remarkable medical advances, knowledge, and training, patient care remains fragmented, frustrating, and expensive, especially from the patient’s perspective.  Solutions for caregivers, especially those on the frontlines, remain elusive.  This book helps to demystify the complex reality of our healthcare system. It provides the tools to empower people and teams to provide the most effective, safe, and reliable care.

Dr. Slakey’s ten core principles for complex system process management will:

  1. Guide the creation of processes that ensure patient-centric care and outcomes are the ultimate measures of success. 
  2. Empower people and teams by implementing processes that optimize human performance. 
  3. Show how highly reliable processes effectively align resources with individual patient needs. 
  4. Create value by increasing efficiency and effectiveness and reducing error and waste. 
  5. Increase patient and staff satisfaction.   

We need compassionate healthcare systems that work well for all. Doug inspires readers to advocate for improved processes to drive meaningful, patient-centric care.
