About Regina Herzlinger:
 Passionate, compelling, and without peer as a scholar in the field of health care, Harvard Business School economist Regina Herzlinger is one of the most influential people driving the national health care debate. Her 2007 book, Who Killed Health Care, stood ahead of the curve and landed at the top of bestseller list. Widely respected in Washington, Herzlinger breaks down complex issues of health care reform into a comprehensible and surprising conversation for audiences of all sizes.
Topical and thought-provoking. Herzlinger has been called an "original thinker," "bold and courageous," and more provocatively, a "health care heretic." She supports neither governmental nor corporate-run healthcare plans, but rather a consumer-driven system. Herzlinger believes in putting decisions firmly in the hands of citizens through an open-market system. Hospitals, doctors, and insurers would compete for patient-consumers in a way that mimics the retail sector. Could such a system eliminate excess spending and save Americans money? Encourage medical innovations? Create transparency for the greater good of patients? She was an early predictor of the unraveling of managed care.
One of the most powerful people in healthcare. Herzlinger was the first woman to be tenured and chaired at Harvard Business School. She is currently the Nancy R. McPherson Professor and Chair of Business Administration at Harvard, and a Senior Fellow at the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research. Her bestselling books have carefully untangled the motives and methods of the insurance, hospital, governmental, employment and academic sectors. At Harvard, B-school students flock to her Innovating in Health Care class, and she is frequently called on for comment by CNN, ABC News, and The Economist. She has been repeatedly selected as one of the "100 Most Powerful People in Healthcare" by Modern Healthcare. Herzlinger was the recipient of the American College of Healthcare Executives' Thompson Book of the Year Award twice and the Academy of Healthcare Executives Research Award three times. Her discussion of a bold new plan for healthcare is intriguing, informative, and not to be missed.
