Surfing the Healthcare Tsunami: Bring Your Best Board (2012)

Car racing, aviation, aerospace, and healthcare are similar. They continually push their limits in a high-risk environment. A safety net of invisible threads protects them. When those threads stretch, break, or are cut, accidents happen, ripping the joy of our loved ones from our lives. Racing and aviation differ from healthcare because they saw a great danger coming and learned hard lessons written in blood. It was their tsunami. Healthcare faces an impending tsunami of harm, waste, and distrust. This global epidemic is a wake up call to healthcare leaders. Will you sink, swim, or surf the Healthcare Tsunami?

Surfing the Healthcare Tsunami: Bring Your Best Board is the follow up to the award-winning documentary, Chasing Zero: Winning the War on Healthcare Harm aired on the Discovery Channel.

Taking examples from high reliability industries such as auto racing, aviation, manufacturing, and even governement, Surfing the Healthcare Tsunami provides leadership role models to help healthcare surf the impending tsunami of waste and harm.

This is the second part of a two part series. The first is called Chasing Zero: Winning the War on Healthcare Harm.
