Dr. Daniel Kraft, founder and chair of Exponential Medicine, discusses reinventing health in medicine to get unstuck from a "sick care system."

Common pitfalls of healthcare innovation include the lack of follow-ups, the lack of an innovation strategy and an overemphasis on technology, says Justin Gernot, vice president of HIMSS subsidiary Healthbox.

Steve Wretling, chief technology and innovation officer at HIMSS, says that understanding the "why" is key to achieving a spectrum of innovation that is about solving the problem, and not just rolling out a tech-driven approach.
