Missing Innovations

In a two-part webinar series, Manatt Health moderates a discussion with James Rebitzer and Robert Rebitzer—co-authors of a new book about innovation in health care, Why Not Better and Cheaper?—and a panel of industry leaders focused on boosting value and reducing costs in the health care system.

Useful innovations—particularly those that reduce costs—often fail to take root and spread in the health sector while others of sometimes dubious value proliferate. The first webinar in our innovation series will discuss why valuable innovations sometimes go missing in health care and what to do about it. Key topics include:

• The economics of innovation in health care, including the power and limitations of incentives.

• The role of professional and social norms in the development and spread of innovations.

• How market competition influences the willingness of firms to adopt innovations.
