Disruptive Technologies and Innovations: Changing Health Care Worldwide

Consider the following excerpt from an article in Managed Care:

A disruptive technology, or technological enabler, is a new technology that unexpectedly displaces an established technology, but only if it is accompanied by an innovative business model. The enabler is generally cheaper, simpler, smaller, and frequently more convenient to use. It is initially embraced by the least profitable and usually the poorest customers in a market… A disruptive innovation is one that brings to market products and services that are much more affordable, and, in the end, much higher in quality. It improves a product or service in ways that the market does not expect, typically by being lower priced or being designed for a different set of consumers.
(Glabman, 2009)

In health care, there are many new technologies and innovations that can be considered “disruptive” by the definitions outlined above. In this final Discussion, you explore how disruptive technologies and innovations have the potential to transform health care practices worldwide.

To prepare:

• Review Chapter 34, “Public Health Practice Applications,” and Chapter 35, “Informatics Solutions for Emergency Planning and Response,” in the course text. SEE ATTACHED FILES
• Consider how organizations such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and World Health Organization (WHO) are taking strides to address public health issues worldwide, including emergency planning and response.
• How might disruptive technologies and innovations assist health care organizations in these efforts? Conduct additional research as necessary.
