The pressures on today’s healthcare systems are well documented. While the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic have had a significant impact on all, it served to amplify many of the systemic challenges already faced by the sector. As Health Care Organizations suit up to tackle issues ranging from aging populations and the growing prevalence of chronic diseases to the costs and inequalities of care, we explore the visions and strategies that aim to ensure the long-term sustainability of the system.
