Disruptive Innovation Article by Clayton Christensen

Clayton Christensen's book "The innovator's prescription" talks about solutions to the healthcare crisis.  Its primary premise is that the hospital system of today contains 3 mutually exclusive and competing business models.  In order to create efficiencies, increase quality and reduce costs, it is important for the healthcare system to recognize this, and split the models.  We have already started to see this happen in some cases, with some hospitals focusing on integrated cancer treatment, while offshore clinics providing value-based, fixed cost for routine procedures.  This article is a good summary of the book and talks about matching clinician skills to the difficulty of the medical problem.
