The New Health Economy

"The New Health Economy is a masterclass about how health care works — and doesn't work — in America." — Bob Kocher, former special assistant to President Obama for health care and economic policy and partner at Venrock

"If the COVID-19 pandemic was the catalyst for the rapid change our health system needs, The New Health Economy is the guidebook for leaders intent on bringing value to American patients, purchasers, and policymakers. This authoritative book belongs on the desk of every current and future health company CEO." — Ceci Connolly, president and CEO, Alliance of Community Health Plans

"The New Health Economy rightly focuses on one of the most critical issues facing US health care: rapidly escalating costs. The affordability crisis is real and, as the authors argue, will define social and economic vitality in the decade ahead. This is an essential read for leaders seeking to better understand the forces of change at play in health care, and how we can better manage them to reimagine the future of health in America." — David Cordani, president and CEO, Cigna

"In clinical medicine, the 'crisis' is the point in the course of an illness where the patient either dies or gets better. In health care management and health care systems, neither has happened. The New Health Economy breaks out of the model of crisis and instead identifies leadership as the key element for improvement." — Mark V. Pauly, Bendheim Professor in the Department of Health Care Management, The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania

"The New Health Economy is a primer for industry leaders in the postpandemic world." — Michael A. Mussallem, chairman and CEO, Edwards Lifesciences

"The New Health Economy reflects how important it is for health care leaders to understand the relationship between politics, health policy, delivery networks, and the consumer. The leaders who understand these forces will implement the changes in health care that will close the current gaps." — Mark E. Miller, executive vice president of health care, Arnold Ventures

"The transformation in American health care is happening now. Success will depend on effective leadership, management, and governance. Engaged and informed board members are critical as health systems, health insurers, and medical groups grow in scale and complexity. At the same time digitization and new entrants are upending what's possible. They are changing the rules of the game with the resources to back it up. Board members and all emerging health care leaders will greatly benefit from the timely insights and hard-won knowledge shared in The New Health Economy." — John Koster, board member, Banner Health

"The New Health Economy is a rich source of insight into health care politics, policy, providers, and personalization that helps lift the fog to reveal a new framework for the future of health care." — Greg Carpenter, Harold T. Martin Professor of Marketing, Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University
