The Weekly Minute - May 19, 2023
Pretty fun week ahead. I’m off to NOrth Carolina to play some incredible golf at Tobacco Road and Pinehurst.
Wish us luck!
Onto what I digested this week:
What I Read, with a Healthcare Focus
What Makes Health Care Workers Stay in Their Jobs? (via Harvard Business Review)
It’s simple: Competitive pay and other support options are essential to recruiting, of course, but organizational culture, including a commitment to excellence, is what makes them stay.
Hey Tech, It’s Time To Build. In Healthcare. (via a16z)
The healthcare sector has little technological penetration, relying heavily on outdated methods like paper and fax machines. Despite the challenges, healthcare represents the next frontier for impactful companies and is ripe for disruption. Trying to fix healthcare in 2023 sounds crazy and is certainly non-consensus. But in what other industry could you build the biggest company in the world?
