Reverse innovation will increase
India's Narayana Hrudayalaya Hospital
Speciality: Open-heart surgery performed at much lower cost
than in the U.S. Labor cost cannot explain the difference.

How do they do it: Uses the same world-class equipment as top
U.S. hospital the Mayo Clinic but by using it 20 times more, costs
are driven down.

What's next: In the Cayman Islands, just a 60-minute flight from
Miami, the hospital is now building a 2,000-bed hospital to serve
American patients ­ potentially the first step in radically shaking
up the U.S. healthcare industry.
