Scott Shreeve has a great interview with Christensen’s co-author Jason Hwang (the late Jerome Grossman is also a co-author). and in this interview several of the incentive issues which concern those of us who understand how innovation gets stopped in health care, are addressed. Well worth reading. [...] [...] But to be fair my criticisms are pre-publication.

There is so much great work that has been done in Minnesota - glad to see you are a part of it. I really believe we need to create an entirely new value chain outside of the current medical-industrial one that exists today. This is why I am so bullish on the direct practice model (See Going Off the Grid post). Companies like Current Health and HelloHealth are going to do very well. I really like your comment about trying to continue to highlight concrete examples of DI. Send me any new ones you are seeing. Thank you for your thoughtful commentary.

I serve as a chief knowledge officer at the Institute for Clinical Systems Improvement in Minnesota, and resonate with the concepts of DI, challenges and perversities of the present system (if one can call it that). We've done work with a depression innovative (DIAMOND) in Minnesota, which has elements of a DI, and while we've had outstanding results thus far, the potential for failure within the present constraints of our health care system and its payment methodology highlight many of the issues presented by Drs. Christensen and Hwang. I look forward to ongoing conversations and opportunities to continue my learnings into how we can take these fascinating and provocative concepts, and provide concrete examples to support and reinforce, and perhaps enhance the evolution of the model as we move forward.
