Innovating Healthcare by Clayton Christensen</strong></p> <p>The only way to make healthcare more affordable is by driving care to lower cost venues (hospitals to outpatient to offices to homes) and provided by lower cost care-providers (specialists to primary care to midlevel providers to nurses to selfcare).</p> <p>The complexity and fragmentation of healthcare has exceeded the capability of human mind to coordinate it.  Electronic medical records are our only chance of coordinating current and future healthcare.</p> <p>Disruptive technologies will drive the decentralization of healthcare.  For example, handheld ultrasound devices are bringing to primary care a level of sophisticated imaging only available in imaging centers and hospitals currently.</p> <p>See more big ideas
