Continuous Innovation In Health Care: Implications Of The Geisinger Experience
Ronald A. Paulus,
Karen Davis and
Glenn D. Steele
To achieve the diverse health care goals of the United States, health care value must increase. The capacity to create value through innovation is facilitated by an integrated delivery system focused on creating value, measuring innovation returns, and receiving market rewards. This paper describes the Geisinger Health Systems innovation strategy for care model redesign. Geisingers clinical leadership, dedicated innovation team, electronic health information systems, and financial incentive alignment each contribute to its innovation record. Although Geisingers characteristics raise serious questions about broad applicability to nonintegrated health care organizations, its experience can provide useful insights for health system reform.
