8:15 Diagnosing the Disease: Disruptive Innovation in Healthcare
Clayton M. Christensen, DBA, Robert and Jane Cizik Professor of Business Administration, Harvard Business School
In the absence of the ability to precisely define a disease, the care of patients isbest undertaken by highly skilled professionals, whose intuition is based on deep experience. This describes the history of health care, and we call this the practice of intuitive medicine. Molecular biology holds the promise of transforming medical practice into a new phase that we call precision medicine. It promises to dramatically reduce cost and increase the predictable effectiveness of therapy.
