Health and pharmaceuticals
Description
A worldwide increase in longevity has brought a focus on making that longer life a healthier one. The greater focus on health, and the considerably higher cost of caring for the elderly, will create a need for a more effective health-care delivery system. Experts from Kaiser Permanente, U.S. Healthcare, Genzyme, and Boehringer Ingelheim, among others, provide insight on these challenges and likely new directions for health-care systems and pharmaceutical companies. What will the changes be as the effects of the new technologies and drugs, ever-increasing patient demands, and cost constraints intensify?
