The Future of Health Care: Shifting the Focus from Treatment to Prevention Tuesday, August 8, 7:30 a.m. The Forum at Minnesota Public Radio
The ability to predict diseases will shift the health care paradigm from treatment to prevention. This will be a monumental shift, and everyone in the health care industry needs to begin preparing for it now. Will predictive medicine soon get so good that the insurance industry's pooled risk business model will no longer work? How do incentives in the current system -- which are based on individual treatment after disease is diagnosed -- need to adapt?
With: Stephen T. Parente (Assistant Professor of Finance, Carlson School of Management) and Jan Malcolm (CEO, Courage Center).
