Description:

Hosted By: Lou Rosenfeld

Technology design in healthcare has been largely motivated by two huge trends: "Big IT" (EMR and integrated healthcare infrastructures) and Health 2.0, the innovation of small startups and mobile apps. These movements are inspiring technology investment, startup growth, open data projects, and changes in policy.

In this webcast, Peter Jones, author of the 2013 Rosenfeld book Design for Care: Innovating Healthcare Experience, will discuss using technology to help design new care delivery systems that address some of the other major issues in healthcare: cost containment, patient demographics, and changing business models.
