Chapter from: "Redefining Health Care: Creating Value-Based Competition on Results"
Published by: Harvard Business Publishing
Published in: 2008

Abstract

It seems obvious that health care value is created in addressing medical conditions for individual patients over the cycle of care, and that health care competition should be centered at this level. So why, despite so much effort by so many well-intentioned people, has competition gravitated to zero-sum competition at the hospital, health plan, and provider group level? Why is care delivery so fractured by procedure and intervention? This chapter addresses these questions. This chapter is excerpted from ‘Redefining Health Care: Creating Value-Based Competition on Results'.
