1. "What Doctors Can Learn From Each Other" Stefan Larsson

With the medical field becoming so competitive (and lucrative), doctors aren't communicating with each other for the betterment of medicine. Larsson makes valid points and arguments; showing what happens when those behind healthcare share their outcomes and experiences with each other. He even shows how this openness can help the world of healthcare get better (and cheaper). Stefan Larsson is a doctor himself, seeing first-hand how things can transform the industry.

2. "A Bold New Way to Fund Drug Research" Roger Stein

No one ever seems to want to talk about medicine; but not Roger Stein. He points out in this arousing Talk that almost 20 years of drugs that could potentially save lives are sitting in labs all over the country because they don't have the funding necessary (it's too high of a financial risk). As a financial engineer, he shows how we can mitigate risk by using new financial models to move hundreds of these drugs into testing pipelines at a time. This video is perfect for administration and anyone involved in the healthcare industry.

3. "How Do We Heal Medicine?" Atul Gawande

With over 1.5 million views, it's easy to see why this Talk made the list. Gawande asks viewers to step back and see how broken the medical system truly is. With doctors capable of extremely expensive and amazing treatments, the system seems to be losing its main focus: treating people. As a doctor, he poignantly suggests looking at new ways to do medicine. Atul Gawande is an enthralling speaker, showing viewers a new way to look at the healthcare system.

4. "It's Time to Redesign Medical Data" Thomas Goetz

This doesn't have as many views as the others and it's not an exceedingly long video, but Thomas Goetz (a healthcare communicator) has viewers captivated from the beginning. He is part of a company called TEDMED; dedicated to redesigning medical data in the healthcare industry. He believes this data is too hard to access, impossible for most people to read, and full of information that could be helpful to people if they could understand it. Goetz talks about his bold idea to redesign this data, and get more insight from it.

5. "Visualizing the Medical Data Explosion" Anders Ynnerman

This is another amazing Talk about medical data, but from a different point of view. Ynnerman is a scientific visualization expert that shows viewers how he uses his skills to create new tools that will help the healthcare industry analyze data and more. His technologies can help determine what information is more useful to doctors and has some ideas for amazing medical technologies in the future. He's working to transform the healthcare industry, and any administrator watching this will want to transform it as well.

From medical data, to new technologies and communication, these TED Talks will have you inspired to do more for the healthcare industry and excited to get to work. They'll get you thinking, entertain you, and educate you. These five Talks are just a few of the amazing TED Talks you can view about healthcare administration and the healthcare industry.
