"Disruptive" innovator Clayton M. Christensen is out with a new book, The Innovators Prescription, which applies innovation to an industry in desperate need of it. Harvard's Working Knowledge points to one culprit in the crushing cost of the modern health care system, a calcified business model trapped in a lousy regulatory and reimbursement system:
In the past, business model innovation was common in health care. When
the technological enablers for the diagnosis and treatment of
infectious diseases emerged, most patient care was transferred away
from hospitals to doctors' offices, and away from the doctors to the
nurses. However, business model innovation has stalled in the last
three decades. Regulations and reimbursement systems currently trap in
high-cost venues much care that could be provided in lower-cost, more
convenient business models. Other disruptions fail because they lack
new value networks that combine business models into coherent
ecosystems that allow them to disrupt their predecessors.
Hi --
"...they lack new value networks..."
They 'lack' value networks becasue they never had them in the first place!
To elaborate, visualize, optimize and master new health care value networks use VNA.

What do we expect for the future of our children? Disaster, I think the current reform discusses about the "Wealth Care System Reform"!
