COVID-19 has caused turmoil in every industry, but certainly the healthcare sector has been hit hard. Various parties have had to be creative in the quest to design innovative solutions. But even before the COVID-19 crisis, the healthcare sector faced tough dilemmas. Examples include the increasing aging population, increasingly complex care demands, the increase in the need for care, individualization of the patient and an increasing shortage of qualified personnel.
In the coming years, we see a number of major changes taking place within the healthcare sector, driven in part by technological developments. So what can we think about? Will robots take over our care completely? Will Google give us a diagnosis? One thing is certain: new technologies will open new doors and create solutions to many of the dilemmas. Several perspectives and scenarios on this have already appeared. An overview of possible scenarios is useful, but what are really the priorities within the healthcare sector for the coming years? Is the priority robotization or active collaboration in a network? And how is the debate about care ethics developing: who decides what care someone gets?
Read more about this in our report, which explains eight key developments that will lead to major changes within the healthcare sector in the coming years. We discuss both the developments and their interrelationships. In this way, Supply Value provides added value to the much-discussed topic: the future of the healthcare sector.
If the developments described are deployed in time within the healthcare sector, they offer great opportunities in terms of cost reduction, quality improvement and the development of a sustainable healthcare model. These opportunities are further explained in the report. This enables various parties (both healthcare providers and healthcare insurers) to make an important contribution to even better healthcare in the future. By embracing and integrating developments, parties can become leaders in their fields.
