Today’s health care landscape is changing fast — and for many employers, members and providers, that’s a good thing. Age-old industry challenges remain pressing today, with stakeholders collaborating to develop solutions that aim to lower costs, improve health outcomes and create an experience better tailored to unique member needs.
Beyond the challenges associated with the traditional Triple Aim, health inequities and social determinants of health (SDOH) have garnered more attention than ever since the onset of COVID-19. Considering SDOH drive 80% of health outcomes,1 it’s no wonder industry stakeholders, including employers, are prioritizing health equity and whole-person health more than ever before.
Yet despite all the challenges facing health care today — many becoming more apparent and urgent during the pandemic — the public health crisis also spurred rapid innovation and an influx of investment.
One survey2 of health care leaders found that 90% agreed the pandemic “will fundamentally change the way they do business, requiring new products, services, processes and business models.” Tens of billions of dollars are flowing annually into health care innovation and research and development (R&D) efforts. Big areas of focus include remote-monitoring devices, virtual care technologies, artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support clinical decisions, and data-sharing tools and applications for both providers and members.3
These important developments in health care innovation ladder to 3 overarching trends affecting employers and their employees — now and moving forward:
- Data-driven personalized care
- Digital experience — for providers and members
- Strategic collaborations
