Driving Innovation with Open Collaboration—featuring Peter Micca, Navid Farzad,

Collaboration moves forward transformative innovations that impact the healthcare industry. In this episode, Peter Micca, National Health Tech leader at Deloitte &amp; Touche LLP, Navid Farzad, partner with Frist Cressey Ventures, and Marcus Osborne, CEO at RightMove Health, talk about how well-funded companies can make an impact on the lives of patients and clinicians by supporting, partnering, and collaborating with emerging innovative healthcare companies. There is a lot of people-centric innovation happening within companies that traditional market participants can drive to fruition, but there are better approaches to do so than an acquisition. Peter, Navid, and Marcus share their take on today’s collaborative mindset as an alternative that creates a deep relationship between parties that allows the bigger one to get full benefit while enabling resources and connections for the other, ensuring the development, implementation, and scaling of the innovation. They discuss why innovation doesn’t limit itself to technology but culture, vocabulary, and, most importantly, people-centeredness.  Tune in and learn from three healthcare leaders about the power of innovation partnerships!  About Peter Micca:Peter Micca is an Audit &amp; Assurance Partner and National Health Tech leader at Deloitte &amp; Touche LLP.
