Healthcare in America is all about entrepreneurship — from medical spas to physician-owned hospitals and imaging centers to million-dollar salaries for hospital execs (I agree wholeheartedly with Mr. H on that topic, btw) to software entrepreneurs like Neal Patterson (Cerner), Judy Faulkner (Epic), or Randy Lipps (who realized that supply storage could be improved while his child was in the hospital and so founded Omnicell). Anyone in the healthcare system, from physicians to business people to lab managers, who realizes that the current system they are using or experiencing just isn’t working as well as it could or should can decide to take the risk and form a company, develop a product, and go to market.
