Critical Choices: How Health Systems Navigate an Evolving Market

The decisions healthcare executives make today will largely determine their organization’s success in the future. In the next two to three years, every hospital and health system CEO will decide to continue, veer off, or reverse course in how to proceed down several important paths. 

Should health systems consider a merger or acquisition or stay independent? How much should they invest in physicians, clinicians, and technology? How can they prepare to capitalize on risk-based opportunities? How will they compete with retailers like Amazon and Walmart as they enter the healthcare provider space?

Over three dozen chief executives of hospitals, health systems and physician groups gathered at the 2019 HealthLeaders CEO Exchange in Park City, Utah, to share key decisions they are making about market consolidation, attracting physicians and clinicians, winning at risk, connecting with consumers, and competing with retailers.
