How the tech industry is disrupting healthcare by seizing a trillion dollar opportunity and bringing the pharmacy to the patient’s doorstep.
Episode Introduction
In Episode 42 of The Healthcare Leadership Experience, Lisa is joined by her show producer Lisa Larter to discuss 3 trends disrupting healthcare right now.
As Lisa Larter comments, ‘’The healthcare industry is ripe for disruption right now, and that requires a different way of looking at all aspects of patient care, medicine, diagnostics, rapid testing, you name it. If healthcare institutions continue to do things the same old way, then someone else will disrupt the industry and the old way will be left behind.’’
This episode is sponsored by VIE Healthcare Consulting® which has proudly helped hospitals save $772 million since 1999.
