From Healthcare Triage.

Between government funding and pharmaceutical industry spending, billions of dollars are spent annually to bring just a handful of drugs to market. That means some strategic investing is likely going on behind the scenes, and we were curious about the factors driving some of that strategy.

Thanks in part to support from the National Institute for Healthcare Management, that’s the topic of this week’s Healthcare Triage.
