Health care innovation refers to positive changes that improve one or more aspects of medical care delivery, from policies and technologies to administration, provision of care and much more. Because innovation encompasses the entire world of health care in this context, it’s an especially broad concept.

Entrepreneurial opportunities in health care might include, among many other potential avenues and options:
