Designing for Health: Interview with Graham Walker, MD [Podcast]

Within healthcare workflows, miniscule problems or hurdles can have a compounding impact on complexity. An extra click on one page within an electronic health record (EHR) can turn into dozens of extra clicks over the course of a day. This ‘sludge’ can slow down or eliminate efficiencies, burn out physicians, and ultimately result in worse care for patients. Conversely, finding solutions to those speed bumps can have an exponential impact, not only with respect to the streamlining of workflows, but enhancing clinician and patient satisfaction, and improving overall business performance.

On today’s episode of In Network's Designing for Health podcast, Nordic Chief Medical Officer Craig Joseph, MD, talks with Graham Walker, MD, physician and co-founder of MDCalc. They discuss his background in the emergency room, how he came to co-create a clinical support decision tool, and what’s next for him in the entrepreneurial realm. They also talk about small inefficiencies that lead to wider problems, the threat of an IT ticket blackhole, and the new trend of rounding for clinician well-being.
