Q&A with Dr. Stephen Klasko: ‘My bias is that we talk about the wrong things’

The following is an excerpt from modernhealthcare.com (requires login):

From the way medical students are selected and trained to how policy debates are framed, healthcare needs an overhaul, according to Dr. Stephen Klasko. The CEO of Thomas Jefferson University and Jefferson Health in Philadelphia speaks passionately about his belief that disruption will be the key differentiator between provider organizations that survive and those that go the way of Borders. Under Klasko’s leadership, Jefferson has grown from a three-hospital academic medical center to a 13-hospital system with $5 billion in annual revenue. Klasko has spurred Jefferson to embark on unique affiliations, including recently with Philadelphia University, a leading fashion and design school.
