The US health care system is plagued by high costs, low quality, and poor access for decades. The lack of solutions to these problems is not from a lack of capital or a lack innovation. The lack of solutions to these health care challenges may be due to the motivations driving innovation. Imagine the change health care could see if we had an army of health care innovators working toward a common goal of improving the health care system for the sake of improving patient care and saving lives rather than profiting. Sarah Cox, a pharmacist and Clinical Associate Professor with the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Pharmacy has seen the problems within healthcare firsthand both through practice and as a family member to a patient. Dr. Cox's academic research focuses on how human-centered design can solve messy, complex problems and drive innovation in healthcare. She has grants focused on technology commercialization and teaching pharmacy students innovative problem-solving skills. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at [ Ссылка ]
