Innovating Health Care: HBS Professor Regina Herzlinger on Innovation, Transparency and Patient Power

Dr. Lee Kaplan sits down with Harvard Business School professor Dr. Regina Herzlinger — widely regarded as the “Godmother of Consumer-Driven Healthcare.” Together, they explore how empowering individuals to make informed choices can transform both personal health outcomes and the healthcare system itself. Herzlinger explains why transparency, interoperability, team-based medicine and the power of private innovation are essential to building a system that performs as well as the people it serves. She also shares deeply personal insights on resilience and what it really means to “bet on yourself.” A candid conversation at the intersection of medicine, innovation, and human performance—and a reminder that the future of healthcare begins with those bold enough to rethink it.  You can learn more about Dr. Herzlinger at HBS.edu.
