These are some of the highlights from our 2019 coverage of news, topics, and trends that matter to CEOs and other senior strategy leaders at healthcare payer and provider organizations.
It has been my pleasure as HealthLeaders Strategy editor to cover the challenges and opportunities facing healthcare CEOs and other senior decision-makers throughout 2019. It's no doubt an interesting time to lead payer and provider organizations.
As I reflected on the best Strategy stories we at HealthLeaders have published in the past year, I thought about assembling a Top 10 list of my favorites. (I tried pretty hard to put together a Top 10 list, in fact, but I couldn't bring myself to nix any of these 11 below, so I settled for a prime number.)
Here are the 11 HealthLeaders Strategy stories of 2019—some written by me and others written by my colleagues—that I think are worth reading (or re-reading):
