About this title: The U.S. health care system is in crisis. At stake are the quality of care for millions of Americans and the financial well-being of individuals and employers squeezed by skyrocketing costs - not to mention the stability of state and federal government budgets. In "Redefining Health Care", internationally renowned strategy expert Michael E. Porter and innovation expert Elizabeth Olmsted Teisberg reveal the underlying and largely overlooked causes of the problem and provide a powerful prescription for change.

"In general, this book is a cost-benefit analysis of the american healthcare system. The author has a lot of "real world" examples of healthcare costs, misuse, and quality improvement programs. However the author basically takes 1 premise and beats you over the head with it.
So I will sum up this book for you: The american healthcare system fails to function properly because it is not a free-market system ..... and here is 400 pages of why."

"Redefining Health Care: Creating Value-Based Competition on Results Michael E. Porter and Elizabeth Olmsted Teisberg Harvard Business School Press
In this volume, Porter and Teisberg examine health care issues in three broad areas: "The first is the cost of and access to health insurance. The second is standards for coverage, or the types of care that should be covered by insurance versus being the responsibility of the individual. The third is the structure of health care delivery itself." Porter and Teisberg explain why the only way to truly reform health care is to reform the nature of competition itself. More specifically, to transform health care by realigning competition with value for patients." How to do so is the central focus of this book." How to explain dysfunctional competition in health care? Suggest several that include "misaligned incentives and a series if understandable but unfortunate strategic, organizational, and regulatory choices by each participant in the system that feed on and exacerbate each other. All actors in the system share responsibility for the problem....The problem is that competition does not take place at the medical condition level, nor over the full care cycle. Competition is the current system is at the same time too broad, too narrow, and too local."
While conducting their research, Porter and Teisberg concluded that there should be no presumption that good quality of health care is more costly. On the contrary, they learned that "better providers are usually more efficient. Good quality is less costly because of more accurate diagnoses, fewer treatment errors, lower complication rates, faster recovery, less invasive treatment, and the minimization of the need for treatment. More broadly, better health is less expensive than illness. Better providers can often earn higher margins at the same or lower prices...so quality improvement does not require ever-escalating costs." Porter and Teisberg have a convincing, indeed compelling argument in support of value-based competition on results in health care within a system which is "ripe for change"...and change for the better but not for the costlier if competition in health care is redefined and then conducted as Porter and Teisberg advocate. One of the most important benefits would be that the changes they propose would be self-reinforcing. "Changes by health plans and providers to compete on values will reinforce and magnify each other, and will spur innovation by suppliers. As consumers and employers adopt these principles, providers and health plans will be more motivated, and more able, to improve the value they deliver.""

"A great review of the American health care system, how it was created and why it's simply not working anymore. The authors address the heart of the economic issues behind rising costs and decreasing quality, and lay out a strategy to improve the delivery, organization and financing of health care services, focusing on the quality of care and value to the customer as the driving factors. It is frustrating to see such practical and logical solutions meet such industry-wide opposition. But the many examples of institutions that have already adopted some of these strategies and seen success gives hope that maybe, just maybe, things can change for the better, and that the vast problem of lack of health insurance and low-quality care can finally be solved when the root causes are addressed head-on."
