James Rebitzer, Wexler Professor of Management at Boston University's Questrom School of Business, and his twin brother Robert Rebitzer, Manatt Health National Advisor, have co-authored a new book about innovation in health care: Why Not Better and Cheaper? Healthcare and Innovation. The book is an engaging account of innovation in health care and why it matters for patients and society.
Bringing together research on incentives, social norms and market competition, they argue that the healthcare system generates the wrong kinds of innovation. It is too easy to profit from low-value innovations and too hard to profit from innovations that reduce the costs of care. The result is a healthcare system that is profusely innovative yet remarkably ineffective in discovering ways to deliver increased value at lower cost. Why Not Better and Cheaper? sheds new light on the trajectory of innovation in healthcare, and on ways to point innovation in a better direction, including how to effectively leverage artificial intelligence (AI) and reap the benefits of this transformative new technology.
