Patient Outcomes = Skill x Time
Mon Jan 26 2026
In this episode, we break patient outcomes down into a simple but powerful formula:
Patient Outcomes = Skill × Time
You need:
The skill to understand what’s actually driving someone’s symptomsAnd the time for healing, behavior change, tissue adaptation, relationship-building, and clinical reasoning to unfoldMiss either one — and outcomes suffer.
We talk about:
Why outcomes can’t be separated from both clinician skill and available timeHow testing your hypotheses requires both technical ability and space to observe changeWhy healing, strength, and behavior change don’t happen on insurance-driven timelinesHow different practice models dramatically affect the “time” variableThis conversation was sparked by recent rhetoric criticizing cash-based care — and instead of taking the bait, we zoomed out and asked a better question:
What actually creates great outcomes?
This episode sets the foundation for future discussions about systems, incentives, and why clinicians often feel frustrated despite doing their best work.
🎧 If you care about results — for patients and clinicians — this one matters.
