Healthcare Disrupted Hardcover - 2016

From the rear cover

The global healthcare industry is undergoing a profound and fundamental shift from rewarding volume of sales, procedures performed, and patients treated towards a focus on improving overall health, patient outcomes and value for the health system. Healthcare Disrupted is the much-needed, authoritative guide to the massive transformation taking place, how to prepare for what's to come, strategies of the new leaders, and our roles as individuals, executives, policy leaders, investors, innovators, entrepreneurs, and educators.

Based on original research conducted by Accenture, this cutting-edge guide delves into the convergence of economic, social, and technological forces upending traditional business models and creating new ways of caring for patients.

Performance- and value-focused business and operating models will win the day as the new standard for competitiveness, and Healthcare Disrupted is the critical road map for profitably navigating this new landscape. C-suite leadership, entrepreneurs, investors, and everyone involved in healthcare will gain valuable insight from the in-depth coverage on how health and healthcare will be redefined. Healthcare Disrupted defines the basis of new value-centric performance and business models, tracks the accelerated evolution of leaders from product-centric to value- and services-centric, and how the requirement for outcomes and value will impact all organizations--care delivery, payers, services, technology, and life sciences--and how they necessarily need to work together.

Conveniently organized into three parts, this comprehensive resource first looks at how and why the healthcare industry is changing, then examines four front-running business models to succeed in the new landscape, and finally details how to build organizations fit to collaborate and compete in the redefined markets. Concrete, actionable advice supported with illuminating examples of how strategies play out in the real world show you:

• Why this confluence of changes will fundamentally shift the industry's focus from value to volume
• The critical questions a company needs to consider in order to gain influence and a competitive edge
• How to develop solid, progressive, and flexible strategies to effectively transform organizations for success
• What established, successful businesses in other industries are now finding lucrative in the healthcare market

Healthcare systems that reward value and patient outcomes can have tremendous benefit to the economic productivity and long-term performance of countries all over the world. Healthcare Disrupted ensures your company can adapt, stay relevant, and gainfully contribute to the new age of digital medicine.
