5.1.1 Health care landscape
Health systems in mature, developing and underserved
markets around the world continue to press for new
solutions that can help them provide accessible,
aordable, quality care to diverse patient populations.
Increasingly, they are abandoning the notion that
incremental improvements can resolve the
overwhelming economic, demographic and logistic
issues standing in the way of the care that is needed.
Instead, they are pursuing new opportunities to
approach the delivery of care dierently.
This broader, deeper and bolder way of thinking is
opening the door to a world of transformational
solutions with far-reaching implications, ranging from
cutting-edge technology platforms and protocols to
innovative new business models and initiatives that are
redefining the clinical experience across the continuum
of care.
The demand for more eective care delivery is
intensifying and unrelenting, as people live longer,
suer increasingly from chronic disease, and become
bigger consumers of constrained healthcare resources.
The burden that this places on health systems is
unsustainable – and driving the need for industry-
defining solutions.
