Claims that technology can help fix health care system and low costs.

Healthcare stakeholders should welcome disruption as an opportunity to advance the industry, and "technology is the disruptive innovation that can help fix the broken healthcare system," said Clayton Christensen, author and Harvard Business School Professor, Friday at the America's Health Insurance Plans conference. He claimed that technology could "make healthcare affordable for those who cannot pay for healthcare services." Christensen pointed to "three specific technologies" to implement his ideas: "molecular diagnostics to understand genetic structure, imaging technologies to look inside the body, and high-bandwidth telecommunications to bring expertise to offices with limited healthcare resources." If his "views are borne out, integrated caregivers, such as Kaiser Permanente,...will have a significant advantage over other stakeholders, he said."
