Redefining the level of Health Care Competition

If there was one defining article I read that convinced me that I needed to go back to graduate school to learn more about how to change a non-system, this was it.

Porter, M. & Tiesberg, E.O. "Redefining Competition in Health Care". Harvard Business Review. June 2007

HBS Professor Michael Porter and Darden School Professor Elizabeth Olmstead Tiesberg discuss the various stakeholders in the health care system and how each can potentially undergo a transformational change to improve the quality and outcomes of the US health care system.

If you find this article enlightening, I HIGHLY recommend reading their book, "Redefining Health Care" (2007). It is by far one of the best books I have read on innovation in health care.

If you have read the article or the book, do you agree with their suggestions? Are some of their suggestions too radical (not as in right-wing but as in idealistic)? Which ones are the most feasible?

Let's discuss!
