White Paper: Trends in 2021: Insights on Healthcare Costs, Innovation, Policy, Value-Based Care, and the Pandemic
In 2021, COVID-19 and its ongoing impact on the healthcare, scientific, political, and social climate continued to be the dominant transformative lens through which we view trends in the following areas: healthcare costs, clinical practice and scientific innovation, US healthcare policy, value-based care, and pandemic/endemic management.
In this white paper, we explore the current state, opportunities, and obstacles in each of the previously mentioned areas where the implications of the global pandemic continue and stakeholders across the healthcare continuum are pushing to increase quality, while advancing affordability and improving the patient experience. We also share insights from proprietary PRECISIONvalue surveys on how payers and providers are adapting in this rapidly changing landscape.
