Anticipating Change
Identify a disruptive innovation in healthcare (i.e. one that completely changed the market). Why was t revolutionary? How did it change healthcare? How can you be prepared for change?
NOTE: The concept of disruptive innovation can be confusing. It is not a better method to do something, but a new and different way that often causes the disappearance of what it replaces. Think of photography; the emergence of digital technology virtually destroyed the film industry (e.g., Kodak).
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
