According to Goodroot CFO Jim Harper, the best way to transform the current U.S. healthcare system is to replace its connective tissue.

\u201cIt\u2019s going to be a long slog and it\u2019s got to be done one system at a time,\u201d explains Harper, who uses the word \u201csystem\u201d while referring to the individual points of connection that knit together healthcare\u2019s patchwork of payers and providers.

For Harper, connection points are where waste gathers within the larger system \u2013 and where companies often add unnecessary complexity in order to extract more dollars.

\u201cBecause there is so much money flying through the systems there are a lot of organizations that have become involved here and they are greedy,\u201d comments Harper, whose shares his opinion of the healthcare system as a preface to explaining the mission behind Goodroot. \xa0

Not exactly a business incubator, and not a private equity firm, Goodroot prefers to be dubbed a \u201ccommunity\u201d of businesses dedicated to improving the current state of healthcare delivery.
