improving healthcare
In a Q&A with Michael E. Porter, co-author of Redefining Health Care: Creating Value-Based Competition on Results, the Harvard professor discusses why the U.S. healthcare system just doesn't seem to be working well. "The United States has tried a lot of models. We tried managed care, gate keepers, co-pays and the like, and they failed." His solution? Rather than push massive regulatory reforms, Porter argues that the system can be changed from the bottom up by improving the quality of care. Article
