The newest "Short White Coat" entry, an interesting blog written by a fourth-year med student at Harvard University through the Boston Globe's website, discusses an extremely important idea: teaching doctors about competition and quality in health care delivery.
Ishani Ganguli, the blog's author, details a seminar she recently attended through Harvard's B-school. Taught by renown business scholar Michael Porter and Elisabeth Teisberg (who co-authored Redefining Health Care: Creating Value Based Competition on Results, an intimidating 430-page book that has sat unopened on my shelf for a year), the seminar brought together health care executives, physicians, and students.
Ganguli gets it right when she says this topic is "critical for all doctors to understand." Further, this was pretty much my dream seminar. I wonder how I can get invited to the next one..?
