What is the Role of Business in Health? Perspectives from Three Bloomberg Distinguished Professors

The Hopkins Business of Health Initiative creates a collaborative space across Johns Hopkins University to incubate, accelerate, and disseminate impactful, world-class research on the business of health. It is supported by the Johns Hopkins’ Carey School of Business, the Bloomberg School of Public Health, the School of Nursing, and the School of Medicine, and convenes scholars across these schools whose research applies business principles to address the nation’s health system challenges.

The Business of Health draws on such fields as economics, management, operations research, marketing, finance, health policy research and health services research.
