Episode 62: Innovating healthcare with conversations and systems thinking – meet CHSI

The OSU Center for Health Systems Innovation strives for solutions at the intersection of business and healthcare. Our guest today, CHSI director Dr. Marjorie Erdmann, has become a national leader in health policy and system design thanks to her efforts with the Oklahoma Business Collective on Health, which is bringing C-suite business leaders to the table with other healthcare partners to actively engage in their business’ healthcare spend. The result? Better outcomes for everyday Oklahomans.
