Toby Cosgrove, MD, President and CEO of Cleveland Clinic, recently shared five thoughts on the future of healthcare with Becker’s Hospital Review.

Here are five ways the healthcare industry can cultivate “GQ:”

  1. Teach clinicians to be team players. Collaboration is key to success.
  2. Invest in IT. It’s the only way to handle healthcare’s data explosion.
  3. Make population health management a strategic priority for patients and staff. This helps mitigate costs in a value-based care environment.
  4. Deliver care in the most cost-effective settings. Overbedding is on the rise.
  5. Do not underestimate the devastation of the opioid epidemic. Last year drug overdoses caused 53,000 deaths.
