Powerful insights on how healthcare can become affordable

I just finished watching Clayton Christensen’s lecture, The Innovator’s Prescription: A Disruptive Solution to the Healthcare Crisis.  Even though I don’t have the time to write all my takeaways and where I’ve seen evidence of his model in my own personal and professional experience with the healthcare system, I felt compelled to share this nonetheless.

A few key lessons:

• A successful business model offers a value proposition that helps people do something they are already trying to do
• Regulation is initially put in place to encourage innovation; as it evolves, it does the opposite by defending current industries
• Existing business models will morph an innovative ideas; to deliver innovation to the market, a new business model must also be created
• What is the best entity to manage healthcare?  Employers.  (Forward to 1:18 to find out why.)

Looking forward to reading the book!
