| The Launching Pad for Understanding Value-Based Healthcare Delivery |
Despite twelve
years of post-graduate medical training, I have never taken a formal class in
business, economics, or public policy. A physician in this situation may find
it difficult to navigate the complexity of the current US healthcare reform
debate. A lack of exposure in these areas may also make it more difficult to
even understand current deficiencies in the system such as health insurance and
hospital reimbursement. I recently had the opportunity to attend the course on
value-based healthcare delivery at the Harvard Business School, which greatly
improved my understanding of these concepts. Any successful attempts to improve
the current healthcare system will require some degree of physician leadership,
and this course offers a concrete vision for how our healthcare system could be
better for patients while also reducing overall healthcare costs. I hope to
build on this experience moving forward and highly recommend the course to
anyone with an interest in healthcare.
