Description
The US healthcare system is facing a crisis. Millions of Americans are affected by the quality of care and rising costs, which strain individual finances and employer budgets. In "Redefining Health Care", Michael E. Porter and Elizabeth Olmsted Teisberg reveal the underlying causes of this problem and propose a solution. Traditionally, participants in the healthcare system have competed to shift costs, accumulate bargaining power, and restrict services, rather than creating value for patients. This competition takes place at the wrong level - among health plans, networks, and hospitals - rather than where it matters most: in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of specific health conditions. The authors argue that a new approach is needed, one that focuses on creating value for patients across the entire care cycle. "Redefining Health Care" provides a framework for redefining healthcare competition based on patient value, offering a way to move towards a more efficient and effective system.
