	"As we move from the current visit-based and reactive model of healthcare delivery to one that is proactive and population-based, the main challenge for healthcare delivery systems is to continue to succeed in the current business model while planning for the future. There are often reimbursement, legal and regulatory barriers to innovation, in addition to the technical and operational challenges, that need to be overcome. Additionally, there are many stakeholders, including providers, administrator, payers and most importantly, patients. With any healthcare innovation project, it is important to identify the problem from the perspective of key stakeholders, measure outcomes of interest and rapidly experiment to learn more about key assumptions." -Shivan Mehta, M.D., MBA, Director of Operations, Penn Medicine Center for Health Care Innovation.
