How has the practice of medicine been affected by the economic landscape of the time?
Agricultural economy >> Industrial economy >> Connection economy
Did the breakthroughs of each era occur when men and women chose to think like agriculturalists/ industrialists/ connectionists…Instead of pretending they were living in the bygone eras of their predecessors?
What if the next breakthroughs will be found by developing innovative business models for the practice of medicine…playing around with a business model canvas instead of a microscope?
What if the Patients are now the Doctors?
And the Doctors are…mostly irrelevant in the face of 21st century technology?
Money changes the dynamics of just about every relationship.
Perhaps it’s time to see if playing around with the dynamics of money as a way of solving the health care problems we’re supposed to battle as Medics.
