Expert field report: How this year’s strategic decisions are unfolding in the market

In 2021, we investigated how the pandemic introduced shifts in influence and power across the health care industry—and within sectors. As a result of those shifts, a few key structural elements of the health care industry are currently in flux, from value-based care adoption to health equity interventions to emerging options for care delivery. These inflection points have significant cross-industry implications, but are undecided—and most importantly, their trajectory can still be meaningfully shaped by the decisions of health care leaders today.

Because the future is being written in real time, we're revisiting those elements with our experts from the field to hear how these decisions are unfolding amid the clinical workforce crisis and Great Resignation. In discussion with our experts, we'll assess how the staffing crises and other industry forces have (or have not) impacted progress across each of these structural elements—and what actionable steps leaders can take to inflect the direction and pace of change.
