Jason Hwang’s prescription for healthcare reform can be boiled down to a simple axiom: Take healthcare out of the hospital.
The internist and executive director of healthcare at the Innosight Institute told attendees at the 2009 Connected Health Symposium that healthcare is too expensive and inaccessible for too many people, because the system’s hospital-centric business model isn’t sustainable.
Instead, Hwang called for a new model that recognizes the increasing role technology plays in our society.
