Series: Blurring the Boundaries of Healthcare
In this series of articles below (Chapter 2 of Oliver Wyman's Health Innovation Journal: Volume 2) we examine how healthcare is blurring boundaries and becoming a more traditional retail experience. Blurring boundaries is about reflecting on intelligent insights to move forward in the smartest, fastest, and most optimal direction possible, instead of just being left behind. In this chapter, we predict what the next wave of innovation will look like. We discuss the gap between what consumers want versus what they actually experience. And we look at why paying more is better for your wallet, and your health.

We examine why the system continues to fail and what's being done to shake up the status quo. At the end of the day, consumers are willing to pay more...when they get more in return, that is.
