DESCRIPTION:Join us for an engaging exploration of innovation in healthcare
  and why it matters for patients and society\, with authors James and Robe
 rt Rebitzer\n\nThe healthcare system generates the wrong kinds of innovati
 on. It's too easy to profit from low-value innovations and too hard to pro
 fit from innovations that reduce the costs of care. The result is a health
 care system that is profusely innovative yet remarkably ineffective in dis
 covering ways to deliver increased value at lower cost.\n\nBringing togeth
 er research on incentives\, social norms\, and market competition\, the au
 thors of Why Not Better and Cheaper? shed new light on the trajectory of i
 nnovation in healthcare\, and how to steer innovation towards more effecti
 ve and affordable solutions.\n\nJames B. Rebitzer is the Peter and Deborah
  Wexler Professor at Boston University's Questrom School of Business where
  he was founding chair of the department of Markets\, Public Policy\, and 
 Law. Formerly\, he was the Mannix Professor of Healthcare Finance and Econ
 omics and Chair of the Economics Department at the Weatherhead School of M
 anagement at Case Western University. He is a research associate at the Na
 tional Bureau of Economic Research and a research fellow at the Institute

 Award from the National Institute of Health Care Management and the Kennet
 h J. Arrow Award from the International Health Economics Association.\n\nR
