Know Where You Make Money, Where You Don't, and Where You Will.

I have learned the simplest way for healthcare organizations to grow is to understand fully where the money comes from—and where it goes—to create financial systems for avoiding leaving money on the table. That sounds easier than it is. Too often, leaders settle for what they consider “enough” data to move forward with the strategy to expand, but in the future, that approach will be risky. Here are my predictions.

??????????Most, if not all, changes in the future will be tied to improvements in artificial intelligence. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI and ML) will revolutionize diagnostics that use machine-learning algorithms that can predict disease outbreaks, drug discovery and development, personalized treatment plans, and administrative processes. AI and MI will enhance early disease detection, improve treatment, and streamline operations. AI-assisted drug development will allow pharmaceutical companies to?use predictive models to design and test potential drugs?in a matter of days or weeks rather than the years it now takes.

?????????? Telemedicine and Remote Patient Monitoring during the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of telemedicine. This trend will continue with more sophisticated remote monitoring tools, allowing for better management of chronic conditions and improved access to healthcare in underserved areas.

????????? Advanced diagnostic capabilities will expand.?Point-of-care devices and at-home testing kits will provide quick and accurate results for a wide range of conditions, enabling early detection and timely treatment.

The development of lab-grown organs for transplants will address the organ shortage crisis, eliminating waiting lists, reducing rejection risks, and improving transplant outcomes. In some cases, providers will enable personalized organ development using the patient's own cells.

????????? Precision Medicine and Genomics Advancements in genomic sequencing and analysis will enable more personalized treatment plans based on an individual's genetic makeup. This will lead to more effective treatments with fewer side effects. Comprehensive genome sequencing?will be a standard part of medical evaluations, providing insights into an individual’s predisposition to diseases and guiding personalized treatment plans.

To maintain the position of the organizations or to grow the top line, healthcare executives recognize they must leverage accurate advanced financial analytics that protect the bottom line. Only then can they make data-driven decisions that improve financial performance while also enhancing the quality and value of care delivered to patients. With these systems in place, healthcare leaders can better understand their competitive advantage.
