EP 89: Transforming Healthcare Through Education with Geoffrey Roche

Thriving Practice with Tracy Cherpeski

This week we’re speaking with Geoffrey Roche, Geoffrey Roche, Senior Vice President, National Health Care Practice of Core Education Services, a Public Benefit Corporation with a mission to support small and mid-sized institutions through innovative shared services.

Geoffrey shares an ecosystem approach to creating sustainable, equitable change in the healthcare and education systems. He says we’re at an inflection point in the workforce world, and the root cause of high turnover, burnout and dissatisfaction is due in large part to problems of culture and inclusion (or lack thereof).

We also discuss:

• The negative impact of larger organizations purchase smaller practices and expect the purchased practice to relinquish their culture
• Solutions for the very real problem of a need for leadership in healthcare (namely that it is already there and requires support and recognition beyond job titles)
• The possibility of starting an action-oriented organization like a think tank to create solutions to the many difficulties in healthcare
