iconoclastic, and funny. These days, most of my lectures are keynotes or featured dinner or lunch talks. <p> <b>His four most popular topics/talks are:</b><br> <p> <b>1) “Internal Bleeding: What We Need to Know and Do to Cure our Epidemic of Medical Mistakes.” </b><br> A case-based, dramatic talk that describes a new way to think about medical errors and a new approach to this modern epidemic. It is the Cliff Notes version of his bestselling book, Internal Bleeding, and some conferences like to pair it with a book-signing event. The talk is suitable for novices, experts, and even lay audiences. <p> <b>2 “The End of the Beginning: Patient Safety Seven Years after the IOM Report on Medical Errors.”</b><br> A more policy-oriented talk than #1, and more appropriate for advanced audiences (leaders in quality and safety, for example). The talk chronicles what is working and not working (regulation, IT, teamwork training, workforce issues, accountability, etc.) in our efforts to prevent medical mistakes. <p> <b>3) “Consequences (Expected and Otherwise) of the Quality and Information Technology Revolutions.” </b><br>The talk is a slightly contrarian view of these trends, two of the most dominant issues facing health care today. Most talks on these issues are dry and pat; clinical audiences leave this talk thinking about these topics in a new, fresh way. <p> <b>4) “The Hospitalist Movement 10 Years Later: Key Issues for the Second Decade.”</b><br> He coined the term “hospitalist” in the New England Journal of Medicine in 1996. He covers the forces driving the growth of the field, the fastest growing specialty in the history of modern medicine, and what the next decade has in store. </ul> <P> <hr size="1" width="95%"> <blockquote><font size="1" color="#666666">* Please note that while this speaker's specific fee falls within the range posted (for Continental U.S. based events) at the top of this page, fees are subject to change without notice.
