Healthcare Innovation: Silicon Valley Style with Chelsea Clinton

The Wild West of Healthcare

We are officially in the midst of the wild west of healthcare, where anything can happen, as we can see with Silicon Valley’s Practice Fusion’s very own CEO Ryan Howard stepping down so the company can work on their IPO strategy. Looking forward to seeing how everything goes with hopes that the company can prosper once again.

With that being said, the times are only getting better for healthcare startups and investors as billions of dollars from private companies and insurance companies are flowing in at a massive rate as we can see from the Rock Health Graph below.
