Mike Modic on Expanding Precision Medicine: Manufacturing, Retail and Digitalization in Healthcare

Mike Modic, MD, argues for an interdisciplinary approach in healthcare, applying manufacturing, retail processes and concepts to effectively reduce unwarranted variation in care delivery.

“It is time to step back and say ‘we gonna fix it’. But we are not going to do it by fixing this little piece and that little piece. We are only going to do it right, if we fundamentally look at how we are going to approach populations, and patients and people and bring together all the advances that we have across all these other industries and domains. This would mean to effectively take healthcare into this particular millenium.” – Mike Modic
