About this Event
IMAGINE: Dr. Anya Sharma, a primary care physician in Seattle, spends nearly two hours every evening wrestling with the EMR system to close charts and process referrals. The cumbersome interface, designed without clinical workflow in mind, forces her to click through dozens of irrelevant fields for a simple prescription refill authorization. This daily "death by a thousand clicks" not only delays patient care but is a significant source of burnout. Instead of just accepting it as "the way things are," what if Dr. Sharma had a framework to pinpoint the exact workflow failure, prototype a simple solution, and effectively pitch a pilot program to her clinic's IT committee?
The healthcare landscape is filled with systemic frustrations that physicians are uniquely positioned to identify but are often unequipped to solve. This lecture moves beyond complaining about broken systems and provides a practical toolkit for Washington physicians to become agents of change. Forget waiting for top-down mandates; this session is a guide to transforming your daily operational headaches into actionable, physician-led innovations.
In this engaging virtual session designed to empower you to stop just diagnosing problems in the system and start developing the cure – we will explore a pragmatic, step-by-step approach to innovation that respects your limited time and leverages your deep clinical expertise. This is your opportunity to turn cynicism into creative fuel and drive meaningful improvements in patient care and your own professional well-being.
