      abstract = {Health care in the United States and other nations is on a  collision course with patient needs and economic reality.  For more than a decade, leading thinkers including Michael  Porter and Clayton Christensen have argued passionately for  value-based health care reform: replacing delivery based on  volume and fee-for-service with competition based on value,  as measured by patient outcomes per dollar spent. Though  still a pipe dream here in the United States, this kind of  value-based competition is already a reality--in India.  Facing a giant population of poor, underserved people and a  severe shortage of skills and capacity, some risk-taking  private enterprises have found a way to deliver  high-quality health care, at ultra-low prices, to all  patients who need it. Govindarajan and Ramamurti studied  these Indian value-based models in depth. After  investigating forty health care organizations and  conducting field research on sixteen, they identified seven  "exemplar" providers that consistently delivered  high-quality health care at ultra-low cost, while being  profitable, financially sustainable, and able to scale up  their operations. Their secret sauce consists of five  principles that work together to produce value-based care.  Arguing that now is the time for the United States and  other "rich" nations to learn from the "poor," this book  shows how the innovations developed by these Indian  exemplars are already being practiced by some far-sighted  US providers--reversing the typical flow of innovation in  the world. The authors describe four different pathways  being used by these organizations to apply Indian-style  principles to attack the exorbitant costs, uneven quality,  and incomplete access to health care in the United  States.--},
