As is his style, Dr. Atul Gawande presents yet another idea for modernizing and maximizing the efficiency of today's healthcare systems. Using a "Cheesecake Factory" model, he explains how this nationwide restaurant chain 'teaches people how to teach others', and the reality that this is a very overlooked concept in modern medicine. He also describes his visit to a "Tele-ICU" headquarters which is responsible for the indirect oversight of an entire hospital system in the Northeast.
Of interesting note, Dr. Gawande gives a shout-out to the Cleveland Clinic and its forged relationship with Lowes hardware stores, providing cardiac care for its employees nationwide.
