The Innovator’s Prescription

Our health care system is in critical condition. Each year, fewer Americans can afford it, fewer businesses can provide it, and fewer government programs can promise it for future generations.  We need a cure, and we need it now. Harvard Business School’s Clayton M. Christensen presents a comprehensive analysis of the strategies that will improve health care and make it affordable. Christensen applies the principles of disruptive innovation to the broken health care system with two pioneers in the field –– Dr. Jerome Grossman and Dr. Jason Hwang. Together, they examine a range of symptoms and offer proven solutions.

• How “precision medicine” reduces costs and makes good on the promise of personalized care.
• How three enabling building blocks — a technology, a business model and a disruptive value network — create disruption.
• How disruptive business models improve quality, accessibility and affordability by changing the ways hospitals and doctors work.
• How patient networks enable better treatment of chronic diseases.
• How employers can change the roles they play in health care to compete effectively in the era of globalization.
