Show Notes

In this episode of PEMBA On Demand, host Dr. Norman A. Chapin speaks with Dr. Robert Flora, Chief Academic Officer at McLaren Health Care and Professor of Obstetrics & Gynecology at Michigan State University College of Human Medicine. Together, they explore why traditional quality improvement (QI) strategies often fall short—and what it will take to lead meaningful change in modern healthcare.

Dr. Flora highlights the historical and systemic roots of today’s QI limitations, explains how rigid approaches fail to reflect the complexity of patient care, and introduces innovative frameworks like his “Nested Rapid Cycle Logic Model.” This episode empowers physician leaders with tools and insights for driving real, measurable change.
