Elizabeth Olmsted Teisberg Discusses Competition in Health Care

Why is competition in the health care system not leading to improvements? Elizabeth Olmsted Teisberg, co-author of the book Redefining Health Care: Creating Value-Based Competition on Results, sat down for an interview on the television program Books of Our Time with host Lawrence R. Velvel the Dean of the Massachusetts School of Law for an interesting discussion on modern health care. Teisberg suggests that the competition within the health care industry has deviated from a progressive nature. The result is the patient has fails to receive the benefit of state of the art medicine. Teisberg suggests the need for a revolution within the industry so to focus the competition within the industry on the patient's individual medical condition rather than a generic condition.
