Episode Details

Healthcare improvement is never just about systems, measures, policies, or processes; it is fundamentally about people. In this special transition episode, Dr. Philip McAdoo introduces himself as the new host of Turn on the Lights, a podcast by the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI). He honors the foundational work of previous hosts Don and Kadar while laying out an expansive vision for the podcast’s next chapter.

To bridge where the show has been with where it is going, Philip announces a summer series re-broadcasting the five most popular episodes from the past year. These episodes cover critical subjects like patient-centered quality, the systemic roots of patient safety, Medicaid access, inclusivity in healthcare measurement, and the financial complexities behind rising premiums. Looking ahead, Philip shares his commitment to widening the podcast's frame by treating stories as evidence, balancing data with human dignity, and bringing frontline workers, patients, and marginalized communities directly to the table.
