dc.description.abstract | This article investigates business models innovation for delivering health care at the base of the
pyramid (BoP). The examination of six health care organizational cases suggests that co-creation
of patient needs, community engagement, continuous involvement of customers, innovative
medical technology, focus on human resources for health, strategic partnerships, economies
of scale, and cross-subsidization are business model innovation strategies that enable inclusive
health care delivery. Based on these findings, we propose a four-dimensional framework. A
process of value discovery, leading BoP patients and communities to recognize a health
need and seek for an acceptable treatment, precedes the identification of a successful value
proposition. Value creation and value appropriation then follow to warrant patient affordability
and organizational sustainability. A “business model mechanism” for BoP health care hence
emerges, where interdependencies among these dimensions are highlighted. This article sheds
new light on how market-based approaches can improve equitable health care access and hence
contribute to poverty alleviation. | en_US |
