Two Massive Shifts are Happening Simultaneously:
"Improve patient experience and quality of care. Reduce costs and re- admissions while keeping efficiency on individualized care and precision medicine. Move from a fee-for-service system to one based on value that rewards health outcomes rather than services rendered." These are some of the hottest burning issues facing healthcare providers, payers and physicians today. Whether or not the industry can accomplish these ambitious goals comes down to how well we serve individuals.
The challenge: Our healthcare system is built around services, not individuals.
Shift Populations™ represent the fastest growing patient and consumer segments in the healthcare industry. Unfortunately, they are the most susceptible to chronic disease states (such as cancer, diabetes and heart disease, etc.), and least preventive with their care.
Providers, payers, pharmaceutical and retail-healthcare organizations are not only unprepared to best serve the unique needs of shift populations as patients and consumers, but also as its workforce, and their communities at-large. They recognize the need to be more diverse, so the first step they take is usually tactical - focused on initiatives managed separately in various silos of the organization, all based on achieving compliance.
But if the goal is to drive growth, we need to shift the focus from diversity to inclusion and individuality.
Your response to this shift is the key to meeting the biggest challenges in healthcare today.

It’s time for Healthcare to evolve to inclusion and individuality.
