Produktbeschreibung

DR. RANDALL W. JONES HAS INVENTED A LOT OF THINGS (he's named on twenty US patents and patents pending), but he's still on a quest to create the perfect cancer-detection device. In The Healthcare Disruptor, he discusses how anyone can be an inventor/innovator with the right tools. This book provides inspiration and instruction for entrepreneurs forging their own paths to success. Whether you're taking on a powerful corporate giant, challenging your industry's norms, or simply trying to understand how to take your first step in business, Dr. Jones has the answers. "Healthcare is in crisis," he says. "The system is broken." There's too much emphasis on quantity instead of quality, and too many folks are on the take of big corporations. Major manufacturers and the insurance industry discourage managers from significantly improving their operation and healthcare delivery. But there are ways to change the system.
