As a chief medical officer in the startup and business world for the past 18 months, I've noticed a clear lack of physician and provider voices in these spaces. While attending large healthcare innovation conferences and meeting with venture capitalists, I realized that less than 5% of the audience consisted of practicing physicians, nurses, and other providers who actually see patients.
There's a lot of talk, noise, and investments being made to disrupt healthcare and make it more efficient and effective. However, without the input of those who provide direct patient care, these efforts may not fully address the needs and concerns of patients.
As healthcare professionals, it's our responsibility to advocate for our patients and ensure that their voices are heard in the decision-making process. We need to actively seek out opportunities to participate in discussions and initiatives that shape the future of healthcare.
Let's work together to amplify the physician and provider voices in the healthcare innovation and startup world to create better outcomes for our patients.
