Synopsis :

The Executive Director of The Permanente Foundation, the organization representing the national interests of the physician-owned Permanente Medical Groups in eight regions of the United States, explores the growing problem of physician dissatisfaction-which results in poor outcomes for patients-and urges organizations to restructure, increase transparency, reduce bureaucracy, and improve communication in order to retain talent and give patients the best care possible.
