Straighttalk. Creating a climate of innovation: the healthcare industry's biggest challenge. Panel discussion
Abstract:
The U.S. health system is not sustainable as currently structured--innovation is necessary to fuel reform, according to PricewaterhouseCoopers' report, HealthCast 2020: Creating a Sustainable Health System.

In this installment of Straight Talk, leaders from WellPoint, Inc., one of the nation's largest health benefits companies, and FasterCures/The Center for Accelerating Medical Solutions, a think-tank based in Washington, talk about what they're doing to nurture innovation.
