Top 25 Innovators - 2020
For the healthcare industry to truly transform how it operates, innovation must take hold at all levels of an organization. Often, a seemingly simple idea can lead to huge change. The 2020 class of Modern Healthcare’s Top 25 Innovators found new ways to engage consumers, improve quality of care and lower costs. The honorees were selected for their work in one of four areas of focus: consumerism, cost reduction, population health and quality and safety.
