Looking Ahead in US Healthcare Services: Key Trends Impacting the Industry

06/14/22 • 15 min

Already exceeding more than $4 trillion annually, U.S. healthcare spending continues to grow faster than the rate of inflation. Healthcare providers and other stakeholders have been challenged as never before to find ways to meet care needs for a nation experiencing an ongoing pandemic, as well as manage unprecedented workforce shortages.

A wave of unconventional dealmaking has seen traditional healthcare players expand their offerings even as nontraditional companies enter the space.

Today’s episode will cover 5 key areas:

Unprecedented staff shortages
Rise in unconventional partnerships and acquisitions
Increased adoption of value-based care beyond primary care
Continued growth in home- and virtual-based models
Adoption of real-time clinical data solutions

Today we are joined by Wiley Bell, Andrew Garibaldi, Joseph Johnson, and Andrew Kadar to discuss how Key Healthcare Services are impacting the industry.

A Look at How Manufacturers Are Surviving

Manufacturing is never simple, but it’s rarely been as hard as it was in 2021. The year began with optimism as COVID-19 vaccines became widely available in the U.S.; people began returning to more-normal lives and economic activity rose.

That optimism was short-lived as the stresses of the past two years ravaged the supply chain-denying automakers and consumer electronics makers the chips needed to finish products, delaying arrivals of products from overseas as ships waited to unload goods at overcrowded ports, and forcing consumers to select Option B, C or D when their first choices weren’t available.

In early 2022, IndustryWeek and L.E.K. Consulting partnered together to survey manufacturers to ask how they’re doing it all. The results are available in a research report, and today’s episode will cover 4 themes from the broader findings:

Labor shortages
Supply chain risks and rising input costs
Rising shipping and warehouse costs
Technology investments

Today we are joined by Eric Navales and Darren Perry to look at how manufacturers are surviving.
