Podcast appearances and mentions of Nancy R Mcpherson

In 2007, Dr. Regina Herzlinger, the Nancy R. McPherson Professor of Business Administration at the Harvard Business School, wrote a book called “Who Killed Health Care”, making a strong case for a healthcare system based on consumer choice and pricing transparency. More than a decade later, America is now struggling to make the Affordable Care Act, or ‘Obama-care’, solvent, and most countries in Europe are facing exponentially increasing healthcare costs and the rationing of government services. In fact, the US congress is now developing proposals for 1970’s style pricing controls for Medicare Part D. Dr. Herzlinger’s book was absolutely prescient in predicting the problems we face today funding healthcare and, in this podcast, she offers her unique perspective on how we can fix it.

Guest: Regina Herzlinger, PhD Host: Jack Lewin, MD The role of specialization in our economy dates back to the 18th century. Now fast-forward to healthcare in the present day: one application of specialization is the concept of a focused factory, where care providers focus on one or two specific organs or disease processes. Host Dr. Jack Lewin welcomes Dr. Regina Herzlinger, the Nancy R. McPherson Professor of Business Administration at Harvard Business School, for an interesting conversation about the potential role of focused factories in healthcare. We have seen this model take hold in a few areas of medicine, including cardiology, but is the time ripe for an expansion of the focused factory model? Dr. Herzlinger also explains where a specialty hospital or a general tertiary care facility would fit within this system.
