Will Nano-Butlers Work for Micro-Payments? Innovation in Business Services Model may Reduce Cost of Delivering Global Healthcare Services

Lessons from the failures and the fruits of success, enjoyed by the business world, may not be irrelevant for exploration and/or adaptation by healthcare organizations, despite the irreconcilable differences that exist in the dynamics of mechanical versus biological and social systems. The current challenges in healthcare compel a fresh view of the organization, structure and function of the delivery and monitoring processes in healthcare, not only for the industrial world that may afford the increasing cost but for global healthcare services, in a manner accessible to, as well as feasible for, the billions who may afford only micro-payments!
