Feeling
the squeeze from
softening service demands, growing competition, reimbursement cuts and
increased regulatory oversight, the healthcare industry is ripe for
financial relief. Will this year offer any respite from lingering
economic and social malaise?
In
Healthcare
Trends & Forecasts in 2011: Performance Expectations for the
Healthcare Industry, two key thought leaders tackle these
questions and more as they look ahead to healthcare reform 2.0
— implementation and rollout.
In
HIN's seventh annual
healthcare industry forecast, which has become an essential planning
tool for healthcare executives, William Shea,
partner, health industry consulting for Cognizant Business Consulting
and Steven T. Valentine, president, The Camden
Group, review the industry landscape for the year ahead and suggest how
healthcare organizations can best position themselves for the months to
come.
In
this 35-page resource,
Shea and Valentine craft a healthcare reform strategy checklist,
putting the smart money on models of consolidation and clinical
integration that will not only increase throughput and market share for
healthcare payors and providers but also reduce unnecessary utilization
and thereby costs.
Their
watchwords are bundled,
shared, co-management, collaboration, coordination
— initiatives that require payors and providers to pool
resources to boost the quality and efficiency of healthcare delivery
and raise revenue.
They
also describe the
preparation and assessments that must precede these ventures as well as
the technology required to tie them all together.
Their
advice is
supplemented with responses of more than 70 healthcare organizations to
the seventh annual HIN Healthcare Trends and Forecasts survey,
in which respondents ranked top-of-mind concerns for the year ahead and
reported their organization's best and worst business decisions in
2010.
In
this forward-looking
special report, you'll get details on:
- Strategies
to
aggressively seek new business and reclaim old customers —
both on and off U.S. soil;
- How
healthcare reform
is redefining managed care and the system changes it will drive;
- Seven
macro trends to
consider prior to health industry investment;
- The
next 'Y2K' for the
healthcare industry and the huge wave of spending it will trigger;
- Emerging

incentives for both providers and health plan members;
- Tactics
for selling
healthcare to the individual purchaser and moving from a B2B to a B2C
mindset;
- Leveraging

methodologies to increase organizational efficiency and effectiveness;
- The
effect of the 2010
midterm elections on healthcare reform;
- The

much, much more.
In
an expanded Q&A
section, Shea and Valentine suggest cost reductions for lean-minded
organizations, opportunities that ACOs present for managed care
organizations and health plans, and requirements to engage primary care
physicians in new care models.

Trends
& Forecasts in 2011: Performance Expectations for the
