Chief Physician Executive Dr. Todd Smith and Chief Operating Officer Mark Sevco have implemented big changes across Sutter Health over the past year, including building a robust leadership team grounded in an innovative dyad design. This collaborative leadership model pairs physician and administrative leaders together to partner in decision-making and lead clinical and non-clinical operations.

On Becker’s Healthcare Podcast, Dr. Smith and Sevco explained how the dyad leadership model works—including their own dyad partnership, how Sutter is applying it in many ways across the organization, and how this collaborative approach is creating a more connected ecosystem for patients and helping to expand access to care.
