By: Richard M.J. Bohmer, Jeffrey D. Street and Laura Feldman
Abstract
Scientific knowledge surrounding diabetes mellitus has grown over the last century to include its cause, treatment, and prevention strategies. However, the type and level of care that patients receive is suboptional. This case examines the forces in industry, knowledge, education, public policy, and reimbursement that drive the management of this disease and the potential for innovation in the management of other chronic diseases.
