MIT Platform Strategy Summit, Boston, July 10

 

Healthcare has been a laggard in adopting platforms…

…but that’s rapidly changing. In fact, I’ll suggest that healthcare will become the PINNACLE platform industry.

Why?

  • Many value propositions are very strong — literally “life-or-death”.
  • Acute and episodic care has focused on relatively discrete, time-limited events; the emerging model of chronic care and population health requires ongoing collaboration among care providers and patients.
  • Many of the value propositions of digital health are dependent upon development of interoperable platforms. For example, non-interoperable platforms would NOT work for:
    • The patient who shows up unconscious in an emergency room away from home
    • Patients with chronic conditions who are treated by multiple providers, multiple lab and imaging centers, and over a long period of time
    • Referrals to specialists using non-standardized, proprietary health IT
  • The healthcare data explosion. Think “omics”.

Healthcare has much to learn from platform development in other industries…and you can take a deep dive into platform strategies at the upcoming MIT Platform  Strategy Summit, July 10 in Boston.

Michael Salerno – EVP Cohealo

Michael Jackson – GM, Intel Corporation
