Over the coming years, health care will encounter some of the greatest transitions any generation has ever had to face. The convergence of exponential technologies will transform medicine and health care in ways that sounded like science fiction a mere decade ago and dramatically disrupt our very notion of patients, providers, and payers. Healthcare 3.0takes a look at how technology is set to elevate patients to prosumers, help migrate care delivery from a pipeline-based approach to a platform-based one, and transform our current insurance-based payment system to an outsurance-based system.

Healthcare 3.0takes a look at how technology is set to elevate patients to prosumers, help migrate care delivery from a pipeline-based approach to a platform-based one, and transform our current insurance-based payment system to an outsurance-based system.
Disruptive change is now the norm for most industries and healthcare is no different. The healthcare industry is undergoing sweeping change. To emerge as winners hospital executives must increase their organizations’ speed and capacity for transformation and innovation. They should note though that despite the imperative and their desire to innovate their hospitals and the magnitude of the opportunity for innovators to both do good and do well, all too many efforts fail, losing billions of dollars along the way.
The thesis of this book is that established hospitals and systems have every opportunity to not just survive but succeed in the future. But to achieve this they need to create a future proof approach to innovation that spans the gamut of having the right strategies in place to having the appropriate people, structures, systems and processes in place to drive organizational innovation. It is based on what big, established players are doing right in terms of innovation and the patterns that they exhibit that creates value across industries. It is difficult to single out one organization that has figured it all out but they are all characterized by having reinvented themselves over and over again.
In Journey to Zero: Digital Technology’s Quest for Perfect Healthcare, author Rubin Pillay presents a visionary exploration of how digital technology can revolutionize the healthcare industry, leading us towards a future of sustainable and impactful healthcare delivery. With a comprehensive and insightful approach, this book uncovers the potential of digital health to achieve seven transformative “zeros” in healthcare. Drawing on extensive research and real-world examples, Rubin introduces the concept of the seven zeros – Zero Exclusion, Zero Wait Time, Zero Harm, Zero Cost, Zero Waste, Zero Disparities, and Zero Carbon Emissions.

Leadership Skills for the New Health Economy A 5Q© APPROACH
We are living through what is arguably the most challenging time for the health care industry. Glaring gaps and inequities in health persist both within and between countries, underscoring our collective failure to share the dramatic health advances of the last century equitably. At the same time, health care is also changing dramatically and our concepts of medicine and health will be fundamentally redefined by the disruptive influences of exponentially growing technologies and converging fields within health and healthcare, new models for care delivery, the rise of consumerism and a quest to maximize value for patients, providers, payers and the system as a whole. Yet the reality is that healthcare’s leadership has not kept pace with these challenges, and the results thereof are pretty stark for all to see. The purpose of this book, Leadership Skills for the New Health Economy A 5Q© APPROACH, is to provide healthcare leaders with a set of new skills and competencies that are critical if they and their organizations are to survive, let alone succeed in the New Health Economy. We’ll explore the five mainstays of leadership for the new health economy. I refer to these as the 5Qs and these are the critical skills and expertise leaders must learn to successfully navigate a rapidly changing world—not just to create strategic advantage for their organizations, but also to help build the kind of abundant equitable, inclusive and positive future we all want to live in. The 5Qs include IQ (Cognitive Intelligence), EQ (Digital Emotional Intelligence, MQ (Moral Intelligence, NQ (Innovation Intelligence and SQ (Spiritual Intelligence).
