Your chance to help shape healthcare innovation
I just happened to catch the local news on NBC tonight, and Harvard Business School professor and author Clayton Christensen (Innovator's Prescription) was being interviewed about his latest endeavor--a National University on Healthcare Innovation. In the interview, he compared the national healthcare discussions to the Tower of Babel saying that policy makers need, among other things, a common language to get everyone on the same page and to explore solutions for more accessible and affordable healthcare. He plans to do this by getting key decision makers collaborating in summits across the country. The first summit is targeted for Philadelphia and may take place as early as June 2010. Very few details are available, but it's early yet.
Check out the article National Healthcare Summit Launching in Philly, and be sure to click on the link at the end of the article to send him your thoughts about how to make healthcare reform work.
