2024 Global Health Care Sector Outlook
Navigating transformation
The global health care industry is experiencing an unparalleled change, influenced by technological progress, demographic changes, and the changing needs of patients. In 2024, several significant trends are expected to define the future of health care. What steps can industry leaders and stakeholders take to ready themselves for this substantial transition?
In our 2024 Global Health Care Sector Outlook, we explore how these trends are likely to mold the future of global health care, fostering innovation, sustainability, integration of social care, cost control, and workforce adjustment.
Explore the key issues:
- AI has the potential to transform health care by optimizing both administrative functions and care delivery. It will have financial and non-financial benefits, such as improved care quality, enhanced patient experience, and greater clinician satisfaction. Private providers may gain the greatest benefits from optimization in care, claims, and provider relationship management.
- Health care organizations globally are beginning to implement innovative technologies such as virtual wards and AI-enabled diagnostic tools to reduce costs of age-related care. Providers also are investing in technology to accelerate diagnoses and reduce treatment costs for chronic diseases.
- In addition to building trust and paying clinicians more, technology could ease some of the biggest contributors to burnout, such as administrative tasks. AI has the potential to take over documentation burdens, handle pre-op workflows, and assist with insurance claims.
- Delivering social care services to underserved populations is a perennial challenge that was exacerbated during the pandemic. Technology can help. Numerous examples show how technology can support inclusiveness while serving a broad range of populations.
- Measuring environmental impact and being able to compare and learn from peers on how to minimize impact is another way the health care sector can build more sustainable systems.
