Harvard Business Review (HBR) and the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) today launched the Leading Health Care Innovation Insight Center, an eight-week online forum dedicated to helping leaders, managers, and other decision makers in health care improve patient outcomes and lower the cost of care.

The Insight Center runs from September 17 through November 15 and offers daily posts, peer-reviewed reports, and interactive content on topics such as leadership, strategy, organizational design, and talent management.
