In this episode of Micro Moments, Dr. Peter Pronovost is joined by Dr. Mehdi Shishehbor to discuss how world-class care is built through teamwork, compassion, and a relentless commitment to patients.
Drawing on his pioneering work in limb salvage, Dr. Shishehbor shares why the most complex healthcare challenges can never be solved by one clinician alone. Instead, they require multidisciplinary teams united around a common purpose: doing what’s right for the patient.
Together, Peter and Mehdi explore breaking down silos, leading with love, embracing innovation, and creating cultures where every caregiver from the front desk to the operating room plays a vital role in delivering extraordinary care.
The conversation is a powerful reminder that while technology can change medicine, relationships are what transform it.

The Culture Behind Better Care
In this episode of Micro Moments, Dr. Peter Pronovost is joined by Dr. Ron Charles to explore how culture drives healthcare transformation.
Dr. Charles shares lessons from ERAS surgical work at University Hospitals, where strong protocols led to better outcomes, but trust, relationships, and teamwork made those results possible.
The conversation also explores how he is working to improve operating room culture through the 6R model: relationships, role modeling, rhetoric, rituals, recognition, and reward.
Together, they discuss why culture is not separate from performance. It is how teams connect, learn, and create better care every day.

Technology Helps. Culture Transforms
In the Season 4 premiere of Micro Moments, Dr. Peter Pronovost is joined by Dr. Corey Scurlock, CEO of Equum Medical, to explore what it takes to make telemedicine work at scale without losing humanity.
Corey shares how growing up in rural East Texas, and watching his hometown hospital close due to provider shortages, shaped his mission to bring care to communities regardless of geography. What began with one hospital now supports about 220 hospitals nationwide.
Together, they discuss why telemedicine is not primarily a technology story it’s a people and culture story. Success depends on trust, communication, and eliminating “remote vs. bedside” thinking so teams operate as one. The conversation also highlights how tele-ICU and other virtual services can help deliver the right care in the right place at the right time and why the future won’t be built by adding beds, but by investing in people and process.
