Entrepreneurship on Health Industry: mixing hospitality design

This week I had the opportunity to attend an entrepreneurship event hosted by Cornell Hotel School. I attended a seminar called Health and Hospitality Innovation and Entrepreneurship: International Applications. The panel was Kelly Abramson, Executive of International Business Development, University of Pennsylvania Health System; Scott Rosen ’00, President & CEO, MDabroad; and Murat Uralkan MHA/Sloan ’14, Program Manager at Houston Methodist Center for Innovation. It was interesting to listen to people who were starting an innovative business in the field of healthcare. Some of the main topics were how hospitality can be integrated into health care design and some of the current progress being made in the industry. Some listers questioned if that would affect the health care prices that are already so high. The panelist talked about how it’s important for the industry to create innovation while maintaining affordability. They wanted to make sure the audience knows that increased healthcare quality should not mean increased price, but the progress that should be made while making healthcare affordable. I hope that this new idea would come true and that this idealism and idea would become what health care should be looking like.
