The New Imperative: Why Healthcare Organizations are Seeking Transformational Change and How They Can Achieve It

Many healthcare CEOs and executives see the need not merely to improve traditional ways of doing business, but to transform, realign, and reinvent their organizations to address fundamental changes in how healthcare is delivered and reimbursed. 

Although every market is different, nearly all face common trends and challenges. To meet these challenges, most healthcare system executives believe that they will need to improve performance significantly – by 20% to 40% over the next three to five years. 

This level of change is not incremental. The strategies and actions required are fundamentally different from past efforts. Changes in the revenue model will dictate corresponding changes in the care delivery model, which will lead each organization to reexamine issues of scale and integration. Taken together, these changes amount to a top-to-bottom rethinking of the clinical enterprise.
