Gotta think outside the box 😉 - nah seriously, I asked because I am preparing for a round of interviews
Precision medicine. I’m working on a few projects right now and it’s just an immense shift we’re looking at.
Agreed. Precision medicine will make (and is making) more of an impact on population-level health than is AI.
Physician shortage. Replacement of physicians by untrained (barely trained) NPs and PAs. Then, Flexner style report for them (finally), and laws limiting their scope. We will have 2 tier healthcare in USA where the poor and portion of middle class get midlevel care only.
AI
I disagree that AI will make any meaningful impact in the short or medium term.

I think future pandemics will too.
-Provider M&A (underrated issue and many implications, especially in more rural regions)
-Behavioral health (we are still in very early stages of having true, good BH services in our system re reimbursement, integration with physical health, provider capacity, implantation of evidence-based methods)
-Digital health (namely telehealth, since digital health is fairly broad)
-Population and precision health tools
-VBP and managed care
Factors to consider:
-shifting M&A regulatory landscape (becoming stricter, although slowly and slightly)
-aging population
-unsustainability of safety net hospitals, especially as our lower-income populations grow
-social media/pandemic’s role on mental health (we see suicides and depression in children taking off, an early warning sign for the broader population)
-increasing need to shift to preventive/primary care
This was a fun thought exercise. Thanks for asking.
