Healthcare's advancements are undeniable, but delivering good value remains a challenge. Costs rise while quality improvements lag, leading some to call for removing business from healthcare entirely. This book offers a different perspective, inviting students and professionals to consider the potential of evidence-based business practices to improve healthcare and reduce costs.

This engaging guide explores the unique complexities of the healthcare industry, highlighting why it's ripe for disruption through innovative business solutions. By delving into how traditional models might not fit healthcare perfectly, the book paves the way for understanding how better business practices can unlock the potential for higher quality care at a lower cost.
