5 Ways Healthcare will Evolve in 2020

Early into 2020, the phrase “20/20 vision” is a trending tagline, but for the health care space, this play on words is fitting. Innovators, investors, industry leaders, analysts, and providers are coming together with a clear vision on how to disrupt the industry and bring about meaningful change. This thought-provoking dialogue comes back to one collective theme: humanize and transform the health care system with a more holistic, outcome-based approach. Progress begins with a shift from physician-led care to collaboration along the continuum, from fee-for-service healthcare models to value-based care, and from treatment to prevention and early intervention.
