As healthcare changes continue, physicians must practice innovation and interdisciplinary cooperation. An appreciation of data-driven process improvement and a realization that we must work together in multi-disciplinary teams is necessary to continue to drive improvements in healthcare. We must do so in a patient-centered way to remain competitive and deliver the highest value care to our patients.
Dr. Gross' clinical interests are process improvement, systems based practice and patient experience.
