Thought Leadership: Health Care Delivery

While there has been much debate about health care financing, little attention has been paid to managing and organizing the delivery of care. To help health care executives and practitioners develop more knowledgeable, flexible, and responsive organizations, Harvard Business School (HBS) and the HBS Health Care Initiative offer two innovative health care delivery programs. Led by renowned HBS faculty, each program is designed to provide tactical, operational, and measurable strategies for improving both medical and financial outcomes.
