• April 27, 2009 — Professor Clay Christensen

  12:00–1:00pm EST — Professor Clay Christensen — For Paid Alumni Club Members Only

  Save the date for a discussion with Professor Clay Christensen on his new book, The Innovator's Prescription: A Disruptive Solution for Health Care

  The process of making products and services more affordable and accessible begins when historically expensive expertise is commoditized. This has happened in every industry we have studied, and healthcare is no different. In healthcare, this process is heavily dependent upon the ability to make a precise diagnosis, which is driven by molecular and imaging diagnostics. These technologies need to be coupled with business model innovation.

  One reason why healthcare is so expensive, and quality of care so inconsistent, is that today's hospitals and physician practices are actually a conflated set of business models. In this session, we'll explain these problems and recommend solutions.
