Biomedical System Readiness

What is BSR?


Biomedical breakthroughs are arriving faster than health systems can deliver them. The gap between what science can achieve and what patients actually receive — reliably, equitably, on time — is widening.

"It's like trying to drive a high-performance car through mud."
 Senior Executive, Life Sciences Industry

BSR is the Center for Biomedical System Design's response: a multi-stakeholder initiative that builds the shared capabilities health ecosystems need to translate innovation into patient benefit at scale.

Drawing on nearly two decades of system-design work, BSR convenes biopharma, payers, providers, regulators, and patient advocates to redesign how breakthrough therapies reach the patients who need them most — and to measure whether they do.

    Biomedical Health Efficiency

    Measuring What Determines System Readiness

    Biomedical Health Efficiency (BHE) is the capacity of a system to deliver appropriate, timely, and equitable access to innovation with optimal use of resources:

    • Makes system readiness measurable (not abstract)
    • Identifies bottlenecks across regulation, payment, delivery, and access
    • Enables comparison, benchmarking, and targeted intervention

    If we can measure readiness,
    we can improve—and accelerate—it

    Dive deeper into BHE and how it relates to our Impact Acceleration Strategy.
