On the Power of Platforms

Platforms have become the defining digital business model of the 21st Century.

Healthcare is fragmented. Platforms bring potential to integrate and unify many aspects of our fragmented industry. Platforms enable connections and facilitate interactions. A few examples:

  • Communications between patients and clinicians and among clinicians themselves
  • Sharing health data among producers of data and users of data 
  • Matching buyers and sellers
  • Integrating workflow of disparate care providers

Platforms are not an all-or-nothing proposition. In healthcare many companies will develop hybrid business models that blend a traditional pipeline business model with a digital platform.

But…the structuring and execution of platforms is challenging. Most platforms fail.
