How do we get health care costs down, while still maintaining high-quality medical care for as many people as possible?
It’s a question that politicians have been dwelling on for months, culminating in yesterday’s historic passage of new health care legislation.
Stefanos Zenios, a professor at Stanford Business School, has made it his life’s work.
A Cypriot math major who is now an operations professor, he’s researched new ways to coordinate doctors, patients, and healthcare systems to improve health outcomes. His mathematical models have helped revamp the kidney transplant waiting list and introduced more affordable HIV testing for developing countries. Now he’s looking into ways that hospitals serving under-insured patients could become more efficient–allowing them to treat more people each day.
Read more about it in my article on Zenios in Stanford Business magazine.
