About Arnout Orelio
After my engineering studies, I was a production and project manager in the automotive industry, with no clear purpose in life. Until I became a father…
I have three great sons, but yes … with such wild brats you sometimes visit a hospital. Like that time when my middle son had broken his leg between the spokes of my bicycle. Upon arrival at the emergency room, I was amazed at the lack of clarity. Where were we supposed to go? How long would it take? It gave me a headache and stomach ache, and I wasn’t even the patient. “Surely we can do better, when caring for people,” I thought, making me focus improving healthcare for patients.
I now have 30 years of experience, improving people’s work, leadership and organization, of which 20 in healthcare. With my books, inspiration sessions and 1:1 mentoring, I have helped thousands of providers and leaders make patient care safer, better and more productive.
