Michael Porter: Solving the Health Care Conundrum

Harvard Strategy Guru Michael Porter on Solving the Health Care Conundrum. He summarized some key learnings here:

  • The U.S. health care system is a paradox in that it has competition yet fails to deliver improving value.
  • The root cause of these problems is that the competition taking place has been the wrong kind.
  • The key to addressing these problems is moving to value-based, positive-sum competition.
  • Moving to value-based competition has important strategic implications for providers as well as health plans and employers.
