Converge Cast | A Physician's Prescription for the Business of Healthcare: Gaurov Dayal, M.D.

In this episode of WittKieffer’s Converge Cast, Dr. Gaurov Dayal, Chief Executive Officer of Axia Women’s Health, talks with WittKieffer's Shelly Carolan and Linda Komnick about his commitment to revolutionizing healthcare in the U.S. with appreciation for both its business challenges – and the opportunities that exist.

As a physician, Dr. Dayal has always mixed a passion for helping others with a fascination for finance, economics, and the dollars and cents of running a business. Medicine is more of an "individual sport and business is a "team sport," he says, but they can coexist and inform each other for the benefit of patients and healthcare delivery organizations. A challenge for some physicians-turned-leaders: getting comfortable with ambiguity. "It definitely requires stepping out of your comfort zone and the need that many of us as physicians have to control every variable," he says. "You just cannot do that in business."

Dr. Dayal is an optimist about the changes coming for healthcare, including the incorporation of artificial intelligence. It's not only a means of improving healthcare and the business of healthcare, it also empowers patients to take control over their own health and well-being.
