He was only 68, an example of another good-man-dying-too-young. Dr. Grossman's ideas made big impacts on American health care for decades. He chaired many Institute of Medicine (IOM) panels and wrote countless pieces in peer-reviewed journals (including the seminal Crossing the Quality Chasm report). He was one of the earliest proponents of analyzing quality and medical outcomes in health care. He was an early champion and adopter of information technology in health care. Listen to a podcast of him talking about aligning IT in health care for quality here from an IOM meeting held in 2000. Most recently, at Harvard, he had been was the founder of the Center for Business & Government's Health Care Delivery Policy Program , which he directed during the past seven years. He had been co-authoring a book on innovative disruptions in health care with Clayton Christensen , a fellow colleague at Harvard. It will be published by the end of the year, and I can't wait to hear Dr. Grossman's voice again through his writing.
