Revolutionizing the Marketplace of Ideas to Transform Care Delivery
A number of recent partnerships and initiatives have focused on using technology to improve the physical delivery of health solutions, such as Lyft’s alliances with CVS and AllScripts, and Amazon’s expansion of Prime Services to Medicaid beneficiaries. Is this likely to continue, and are there other areas ripe for such technological disruption? What is the importance of reaching across disciplines to forge new alliances, devise practical policy solutions and disrupt current care models?
