Jerome Grossman
Senior Fellow, Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Business and Government;
Director, Harvard/Kennedy School Health Care Delivery Policy Program
Jerome Grossman, M.D. is a Senior Fellow and Director of the Harvard/Kennedy School Health Care Delivery Policy Program. The Center is entering its seventh year, and is centered around its Policy Group – all senior leaders from the major stakeholders in health care. The Policy Group has debated almost every aspect of the highly complex and dysfunctional system. Drawing both from our members and work in other fields, the group is developing options for transformation. In addition he is leading three efforts to bring these general ideas to the public. The first is the CED report, The Employer-Based Health Insurance System is Failing – What We Must Do About It, the second is a new book coauthored with Clay Christensen which is forthcoming, and the last is a series of NAE/IOM Workshops to aid the Department of Defense in Planning the next stages in the Transformation of the Military Health System.
