How can health services in the UK and Europe be improved? And can costs be reduced at the same time? Over the years, many ideas have been put forward - from increased spending on preventive healthcare to the better use of technology to reduce bureaucracy and 'pay for performance' schemes. But author Nima Sanandaji says this is merely tinkering at the margins. What's needed, he argues, is a completely new approach - one which embraces disruptive innovations from a new breed of entrepreneurs. Allowing true entrepreneurialism in healthcare might be considered extreme in a Western setting - but he points to a spectacular wave of success in the East to support his case. In India, Thailand, China and the Middle East, entrepreneurs have drawn inspiration from the motor industry to streamline procedures and create economies of scale. In areas such as heart surgery, they've dramatically driven down costs - and dramatically improved outcomes. So much so that the new market economies of the East are now, he contends, many steps of ahead of the West. In The Henry Fords of Healthcare Sanandaji outlines the lessons the West can now learn from the East, making a radical, compelling and controversial contribution to the debate on our own ailing health systems.
