LDI Topic Guide: Health Care Innovation

As the U.S. struggles to rein in health spending, the reinvention of nearly every aspect of the health care system has become a high priority for policy makers, regulators and administrators -- all of whom are under daily pressure to lower costs at the same time they increase the quality of medical care. This drive for innovative policies, therapies, technologies, management strategies and clinical practices has spawned a wide and potentially confusing array of initiatives throughout government, academic and business circles. These are some of the studies, reports, analyses, and sources of information on the latest developments in health care innovation:
