The development of high quality, low cost health care depends on massive innovation in the way services are actually delivered. This is recognised by a new award programme – The HBI Business Model Innovation Awards – set up by publisher Healthcare Business International.

The seven awards are for operators who can demonstrate scalable and successful new approaches that cut costs and/or improve quality of treatment.

“This global showcase of outstanding innovation in healthcare highlights the role that operators play in delivering excellent healthcare. The winners provide real-world examples of how the innovative use of technology and people power can improve the care patients receive around the world.”, says Mark Britnell, Chairman and Partner of the Global Health Practice, KPMG
