Industry Trends
Healthcare improvements have dramatically increased life expectancy, and new treatments are increasing the quality of life. However, the annual growth in healthcare spending has exceeded GDP growth by an average of about 2 percentage points in most developed countries over the last couple decades. Healthcare is now the world’s largest industry—with a value and cost three times greater than the banking sector. For example, while the US may be the best place for receiving medical care, the country spends about one in every six GDP dollars on healthcare.
Client Issues
The healthcare industry participants are faced with several of the following key issues:
- How is the business model changing? What would it look like for the payers and providers?
- What are the emerging opportunities? How should we identify and exploit such opportunities e.g., wellness, outcome based care, healthcare information management?
- What are the organization implications for these changes such as structure, marketing/awareness, delivery, and incentives?
