The healthcare landscape is vast and ever changing, but also anchored in its ways. We've come up with ways to treat cancer, better surgery protocols, and even used augmented reality to assist with face transplants. But with all of this innovation, the industry is siloed, costs can be astronomical, and doctors are burnt out. Now, patients are demanding better care, better outcomes, and more affordability from their healthcare providers.

The word “disruption” is not new to the medical innovation lexicon. We’ve used it to describe breakthrough innovations that have changed the way we treat patients for a given disease, or for new policies like the electronic medical record mandate or the Affordable Care Act. And while we’ve seen healthcare impacted by these forces, Cleveland Clinic sees more change lies ahead.
