A groundbreaking prescription for health care reform--from a legendary leader in innovation . . .

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―whose bestselling The Innovator’s Dilemma revolutionized the business world―presents The Innovator’s Prescription, 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.

YOU’LL DISCOVER HOW

“Precision medicine” reduces costs and makes good on the promise of personalized care
Disruptive business models improve quality, accessibility, and affordability by changing the way hospitals and doctors work
Patient networks enable better treatment of chronic diseases
Employers can change the roles they play in health care to compete effectively in the era of globalization
Insurance and regulatory reforms stimulate disruption in health care

A disruptive innovators guide to improving healthcare productivity, quality, and affordability

October 21, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Christensen and his co-authors have written a clear and compelling guide to putting the healthcare industry on a path to more rapid productivity breakthroughs that deliver increasing value/$. Their prescription for changing the HC industry has the potential to increase the well being of all Americans while radically lowering costs and increasing quality. It is the first book I have read on the industry that puts all of the pieces together to describe the root causes of current roadblocks and the pathway to improvement. The authors organize their ideas around the "disruptive innovation" and "jobs to be done" theories that Professor Christensen has developed. I recommend this book to anyone who is serious about introducing disruptive technology and business model innovation to the healthcare industry. The examples and well researched footnotes on the industry are thorough and valuable.

Great Insights and Roadmap for Change

December 21, 2012

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

As a 23-year healthcare industry veteran and the author of [...], I thought the authors did an excellence job of identifying many of the critical issues facing healthcare and providing a roadmap for change. The problems with our healthcare system are complex and have many root causes. The authors provide insights on how three elements of disruptive innovation can make healthcare more accessible and affordable. These three elements are:

1. Technology enablers
2. Business model innovation
3. Value networks

Anyone who has worked in healthcare realizes that the regulatory framework and reimbursement scheme often drives much of the behaviors and constraints that adversely impact access and affordability. The authors do a nice job of discussing the regulatory and reimbursement reforms needed to enable disruptive solutions for healthcare. In full disclosure, I'm a fan of Mr. Christensen. I've read many of his books and have seen him speak a number of times. This book is an excellent contribution to helping solve our healthcare crisis.

Hard slog

July 9, 2014

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This was a hard one to read. A bloody hard slog. If I see the word 'disruption' one more time I'm going to throw up.
There is valuable insight in the first half of the book which I recommend. However the last 3-4 chapters were severely repetitive with a lot of prescriptive comments about what innovators 'must' do.

If you are a doctor, this is an interesting read. It opens your mind to what could be, and suddenly nothing seems as safe and cosy.

If you are a businessman, you'll need a lot more than what this book has to offer. You'll probably look at the entrenched systems of health, throw your hands in the air and decide to tackle some other industry.

Excellent Pescription; Therapy adherence doubtful

March 25, 2013

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Christensen, et. al., do a deep dive into health care, bringing an excellent sent of conclusions and recommendations to the surface. His "patented" HBS analytical process is decidedly from a business perspective. Knowing that, his analysis brings much more light than heat to an already overheated debate. The detailed description of what drives each part of the health care process, from the general state of public health to diagnosis, drug development, therapy management, and economic drivers is informative and insightful. He avoids taking a stand on current policy issues, but addresses the impact of various policy approaches from his business perspective. Anyone concerned about health care should read this book.

Fantastic read

October 5, 2012

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

For anyone looking to understand the healthcare system to a greater degree, and especially the current problems with how our system functions, this book will do a fantastic job at getting to the heart of the problem without getting too bogged down in extraneous details. Even more importantly, this book states explicit actions that need to be taken to make our system more streamlined, more accessible, and overall, how to improve quality while decreasing cost. For those who don't have a firm grasp on business models and economics, the authors provide excellent examples and analogies to make complicated ideas clear. I suggest this book for anyone wishing to have a clear grasp of our current problems in healthcare and/or for anyone wishing to understand the direction healthcare will take in this country.
