In this episode, Scott Becker gives insights on 16 key concepts that are emerging in the healthcare industry. As healthcare systems are facing a lot of changes, it is important to keep an eye on them to stay informed and prepared.
Changes in Healthcare Systems
Healthcare systems are facing challenges such as the end of cross subsidization, a shortage of nurses and doctors, competition for better paying business, automation of processes, value-based care, total bed management, hospital mergers, and inflation of staff costs. These changes are pushing hospitals to rethink their approach and find better solutions.
