In Redefining Health Care, Michael E Porter and Elizabeth Olmsted Teisberg set forth a new vision of the health care system in which every actor is focused on improving value, as measured by health outcomes per dollar expended. The authors prescribe a powerful and actionable agenda for change. Redefining health care describes how all participants-providers, health plans, employers, suppliers, consumers, and governments-can redefine their strategies, operating practices, and organizational structures to unleash stunning improvements in the health value delivered.
