Innovating Healthcare with Hospitality with Dr. Benjamin Ostrander

Wealth Planning for the Modern Physician

Listen in or watch as host David Mandell interviews Dr. Benjamin Ostrander, Chief Resident in Otolaryngology at the University of California San Diego.

David begins with questions he asks all physician guests to the program—about their initial interest in becoming a physician and in their particular area. Ben explains his family background in engineering, his initial degrees in engineering and bio engineering and his gravitation to medical school and surgery.

David and Ben then focus on the topic of innovation in general and specifically how medicine can learn from other industries—first discussing how the checklist concept came to medicine from aviation.

Ben shares some of his research on the science and art of hospitality and how these concepts could translate into medicine. David and Ben then jump into a number of potential ways medicine could benefit from lessons learned in hospitality—from patient experience to environmental factors to employee satisfaction.

Finally, Ben provides further resources for those interested in applying these concepts into their practice or hospital workplace.
