Course Materials Overview

This page provides an outline of the course materials available for purchase for the HarvardX BUS5.1x Innovating in Healthcare course. This course contains a mix of free and purchasable content, with purchasable materials comprised of both strongly recommended and optional items.

The first three case studies in this course (Battle of the Bulge, Vitalia Franchise, and Phreesia: The Patient Check-In Company) are provided to you online, free of charge, and will expire at the conclusion of the course. You access these from the Courseware page of the course. You may then choose to procure PDF versions of these three cases as well as the entire strongly recommended and optional reading list by purchasing a coursepack from Harvard Business Publishing. The link to purchase the coursepack, as well as instructions on how to purchase, are included below. When purchasing the coursepack, you will be required to purchase all strongly recommended items and can then selectively choose to purchase any optional items.

If you choose only the strongly recommended items (and no optional items), your total will be $26.14. Please note, that although these items are not necessary for the large, open course, we strongly recommend them. If you purchase all items (including every optional item), your total will be $54.84.
