Edmund L. Valentine stresses that virtually every United States healthcare industry segment and stakeholder will be upended in “U.S. Healthcare Providers, Outlook To 2025” (ISBN 1499358865).
Valentine stated, “…no payer, insurer, or provider, from independent practitioners to highly integrated healthcare delivery systems, will be left unscathed. As with most major industry disruptions, transformation is being driven from outside healthcare. The increasing velocity of change is being fueled by the unprecedented convergence of technologies (enabling, incremental and disruptive), exponential growth in innovation (incremental and disruptive), and disruptive: 1) legislation and regulation, 2) changing reimbursement, 3) organizational structures, 4) alliances, 5) new provider business models, 6) transparency, and 7) technology-enabled consumerism, as well as increasing demand. These change drivers will remodel how, when, where and by whom patients are screened, diagnosed, treated, managed, and monitored. The very practice of medicine will be redefined.”
The author adds that the degree of change will exceed all prior experience and will be revolutionary in nature. The number of challenges and opportunities presented are unprecedented. Forget industry norms. They have no relevance to what will be transpiring between now and 2025.
According to Valentine, the transformation will result in: 1) the gradual migration to a more uniform delivery of care/treatment for an increasing list of commonly seen/treated diseases and conditions; 2) decreased cost differentials between providers for specific treatments, interventions, and patient management, not only locally but nationally; and 3) increasing patient convenience for all but the most serious conditions.
Stakeholders that identify and take actions to capitalize on change will be handsomely rewarded. However, history has shown that the majority will not, says the author.
“U.S. Healthcare Providers, Outlook To 2025” presents the transformative drivers and their implications on payers, insurers, hospitals, care facilities, physicians, and allied health professionals. It is available for sale online at Amazon.com and other channels.
