Forget Disney, what if GOOGLE ran your Hospital

Forget Disney, what if GOOGLE ran your HospitalEver read Fast Company? Recently they had a series of the most innovative companies in the world. (No hospitals, sorry). Who made number 1?

Google! Google. Now by now most of us have heard that they are working with the Cleavland Clinic on an EMR but what about if they ran your hospital? What would be different? What would be better? What would be the barriers?

Employees of Google had a general feeling that their work, no matter how small, would change the world! Imagine if your nurses, and doctors, and staff felt that way.... That coming to work at the hospital was some sort of out of body experience. The daily tasks of medicine felt like they were making an impact! How would your hospital react? Can you imagine the power your staff would have to create something new?!!!!What about if the staff were given one day a week, or month to work on whatever they wanted? Could innovation happen! Could your Hospital change the world!??

If any of you out there read this, I would love to hear feedback!Ill write more on my thoughts after we get a good discussion going!
