“Redefining
Health Care presents a fresh, clear-eyed view of the problems of the
American health care system, and shows how value-based competition is the
only real solution. This bold, insightful book will stimulate every
participant in health care delivery to reexamine current strategies and
practices, and achieve vastly better results.”
—Delos M. Cosgrove, MD, Chief Executive Officer, The Cleveland Clinic
“Redefining Health Care is
at once revolutionary and practical. Porter and Teisberg aim to convert today’s
dysfunctional health care system into one in which value-based competition
leads to better health and greater efficiency. They argue for fundamental
changes in how we think about heath care and offer specific guidance to
health care providers, health plans, suppliers, consumers, employers, and
policy makers. This book deserves to be read carefully by everyone
concerned with the future of health care in the United States.”
—Harvey V. Fineberg, MD, PhD, President, Institute of Medicine
“This book is a
major contribution—and may prove to be THE major contribution— to
the age-old debate about why so many people don’t get what they want from
our health care system. Porter and Teisberg ask and answer the simple
question: why is competition in health care failing? Their fundamental
proposition—that we have not measured what matters most and that system
participants have not had to compete on excellence and efficiency-- must be
embraced. The authors lay out a practical and detailed agenda for all the
major actors in the system. What are we waiting for?”
—Charles D. Baker, President and Chief Executive Officer, Harvard
Pilgrim Health Care, Inc.
“A leader’s guide for the next decade.
Porter and Teisberg’s book provides a new strategic perspective that will
enable dramatic improvement in the quality and efficiency of patient care.
This book offers powerful new ideas for practical ways to address the
enormous challenges of the health care system. The insights here will
rechannel the health care debate productively for years to come.”
—Maureen Bisognano, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating
Officer, Institute for Healthcare Improvement
