LONDON - Health systems should have bigger incentives and rewards for innovators - according to a panel of European healthcare experts.

Healthcare systems are large, complex and slow to respond to innovation from outside. But effective innovation in healthcare is not impossible - new ideas and approaches have shown that organisational and structural change can deliver clear benefits to consumers of healthcare and those who work in the system.

Drawing on a new report by the Economist Intelligence Unit, commissioned by Philips, this video webcast features a panel of experts, including successful innovators who discuss some of the biggest barriers to change, and how they can be overcome.
