Sachin H. Jain, President and CEO, Board Director at SCAN Health Plan, shared on LinkedIn:
“Everyone wants to fix American healthcare. Almost no one wants to admit that we are part of what’s broken. It’s comforting to believe the problem is ‘the system’-as though the system is some force outside ourselves. But systems don’t make decisions. People do.
Every day, good people stay silent in meetings. Approve policies they privately disagree with. Look away from obvious dysfunction because challenging it is inconvenient, politically risky, or simply exhausting.
I’ve come to believe that healthcare’s greatest crisis isn’t financial or technological. It’s moral.
The system isn’t failing because it’s full of bad people. It’s failing because it’s full of decent people who have learned to accommodate things they once would have found unacceptable.
This is a theme I explored in a recent talk I gave, and it continues to resonate with me: meaningful change starts with individual accountability, not institutional blame.
If we’re serious about improving healthcare, we need fewer conversations about what they should do-and more conversations about what I am willing to do differently. I’d love to hear where you agree, where you disagree, and what you’ve seen from inside the system.” Read here
