Fueled by venture capital, these emerging developments could shape healthcare’s future:
Insight, action, outcomes
By tackling the administrative burden and improving non-labor and labor ineciencies, healthcare companies could boost their efforts to remove waste from the system (e.g., back and front office).
Patient = consumer
Higher out-of-pocket costs, new levels of price transparency and new digital tools that aid and inform decisions are likely to give rise to the healthcare consumer.
New goals
Powered by an outcome-first philosophy, the care ecosystem’s goals are expected to change from diagnosis and treatment to prevention and management.
Digital first
Digitally powered solutions like remote monitoring and virtual care could take care out of the hospitals and into virtual environments.
New business models
The changing profile of stakeholders will likely blur the lines between payers, providers, med techs, pharmas, retailers and industry disruptors, giving rise to new value-focused approaches.
