KREMPL, MD, FACS Professor, Department Chair The University of Oklahoma College of Medicine Oklahoma City, OK www.ouhealth.com/find-a-doctor/greg-a-krempl-md-facs/ What are two key behaviors/personality traits that allow you to be effective in your role? I am driven to do my best and to raise the bar so that those around me can achieve their best as well. What is the most important issue/challenge you are dealing with in your industry? The biggest challenge is the move toward patient-centric care and doing what provides the patient with the best experience, rather than doing what is most convenient for the staff. We are learning from those in the field of customer service and figuring out how to apply those ideas to health care. What innovations or technologies do you feel will shape the future of your industry? The biggest innovation recently was the emergence of virtual medicine. We are going to learn from this and apply the knowledge to a post-COVID-19 world. What excites you the most about your industry? The exciting thing in my field today is the same thing that inspired me in the first place, and that is impacting the lives of my patients. Having the trust of my patients and the ability to impact and improve their lives is what brought me into medicine, and at the end of the day, I go home feeling great about it.
