UNLEASHED: Redesigning Health Care
UNLEASHED is the podcast that challenges every clinician listening to ask themselves … What would I do if I were unleashed? What would I do if I could reinvent care from scratch? The podcast also calls upon health care executives, thought leaders, and policy makers to do more to support innovation on the front lines.
Most episodes spotlight clinicians who have developed a new model of care. Occasionally, hosts Glyn Elwyn and Chris Trimble interview experts on innovation in health care delivery.
This podcast is sponsored by the The Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice at Dartmouth and by EBSCO Clinical Decisions, producers of DynaMed and Dyna AI.
