Disruptive Changes Are Coming to the Delivery of Medical Care
The following was an invited post on Harvard Busines Review web site last Friday.
We have grown accustomed to scientific research producing major medical advances such as those I wrote about in The Future of Medicine — Megatrends in Healthcare. But there are now some very disruptive changes coming in how medical care will be delivered by your doctor or hospital.
