As patient behavior shifts to more preventative self-care, traditional hospital systems that solely focus on sick-care models will be facing a moment of reckoning. Current trends, precipitated by the pandemic, show consumers and patients turning to their own devices to pursue care management. Whether it's adopting a hybrid care model or partnering with a digital health startup that offers in-person or virtual on-demand care, providers will need to quickly adapt to changing behaviors.

Advanced analytics, digital transformation and AI-integration are helping to drive provider efficiency and participation in value-based care models; however new potential challenges such as interoperability and cybersecurity pose an uphill battle if not resourced adequately.

Increased focus on health equity has created demand for a new type of role that understands, addresses, and reduces health disparities. The cost of change is high for hospitals, and ensuring their investments will pay off is critically important. Supply chain issues, workforce shortages, and high labor costs are also squeezing providers.
