Harvard Business Review (HBR) and the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) have launched a second installment of the Leading Health Care Innovation Insight Center, an eight-week online forum dedicated to helping leaders, managers, and other decision makers in health care improve patient outcomes and lower the cost of care.
The Insight Center, which is sponsored by Medtronic, will run through December 15 and offers daily posts, peer-reviewed reports, and interactive content on topics such as leadership, strategy, organizational design, and talent management. Articles will examine specific tactics being applied in health care systems today to reduce costs and improve quality.
The Insight Center hosted a free webinar, "How Not to Cut Health Care Costs," led by Professor Robert Kaplan and Derek Haas of Harvard Business School. The webinar explored why some efforts to reduce healthcare costs are counterproductive, actually leading to higher costs and sometimes lower-quality care.
