Health care innovation is needed as it can bring about better quality of patient care, improved population health, and lower health care costs. Walston and Johnson (2022) classified three types of health care innovations:
(a) consumer-focused innovations
(b) technology innovations
(c) business model innovations
Health care organizations that are creative and innovative will constantly increase their competitive advantage to survive and flourish.
