A Conversation with Mayo Clinic President and Chief Executive Officer John Noseworthy, M.D.

John Noseworthy, M.D., president and chief executive officer of the Mayo Clinic, sat down with Boston Scientific Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Michael Mahoney at the April 26 meeting of the Boston College Chief Executives Club. In this question-and-answer session, Dr. Noseworthy described the Mayo Clinic as the first integrated group practice of medicine, where all decisions go back to the patient. "Any question that comes up at the Mayo Clinic, either on the administrative side or in the practice, we find if we put the patient at the center of the room and say 'what's best for this patient?', we always get the answer more quickly."
