Research to best serve you

We have a dedicated team continuously monitoring the latest developments in healthcare to identify what strategic forces really matter — and what they mean for your organization.  Some of our areas of focus for 2024 include:

  • The future of acute care: How do hospitals need to evolve to survive in an environment of ongoing financial pressure, care shifting to outpatient settings, and workforce shortages?
  • Specialty care: What are the growth outlooks for  cardiovascular care, neurodegenerative diseases, musculoskeletal care, women’s reproductive care, obesity, and diabetes?​
  • Cancer care: What will the cancer care landscape look like in the future, and how should hospital leaders prepare now?
  • Ambulatory surgery: Which procedures are shifting to ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs) today, which ones might shift next, and which ones are hospital leaders proactively shifting out of the hospital?​
  • Care team redesign: How can the care team be structured to meet both the organization’s needs and the expectations of today’s workforce? 
  • Clinical quality: What does the state of clinical quality look like today, and what focus areas should quality champions prioritize? 
  • Clinical innovation and treatment: How can you prepare for the next generation of personalized care?​
  • Generative AI: What are the different use cases for artificial intelligence in healthcare?

Our 360° stakeholder viewpoint allows us to explore complex topics from a range of perspectives. We help translate these topics for you and your team,  with practical and personalized next steps.
