"The Evolving Health Care Landscape: Strategies for Growth, Affordability, and Workforce Resilience in 2025"
The current state of the health care industry is marked by cautious optimism, with executives expressing a more favorable outlook for 2025. According to a survey by the Deloitte Center for Health Solutions, nearly 60% of industry leaders hold a favorable industry outlook for the year ahead, up from 52% just a year ago[1]. This surge in confidence is underscored by the 69% of US health care respondents who anticipate a rise in revenue in 2025 and the 71% who expect improved profitability.
Key trends expected to impact health care strategies in 2025 include developing growth strategies, with 65% of executives citing this as a top priority, and consumer affordability, identified by 46% of executives[1]. However, balancing growth with affordability and navigating regulatory uncertainty remain significant challenges.
Health plans and health systems are prioritizing different goals and approaches for 2025. Health plans are primarily focused on adopting transformative technologies, including gen AI, while health systems are more focused on strengthening their core legacy business technologies[1].
Workforce challenges, such as talent shortages and retention issues, continue to be a top concern for health systems, with 58% of executives expecting these challenges to influence their organizational strategies in 2025[1][5]. To address these challenges, health system leaders are advised to redesign work teams, invest in cost-saving technologies like generative AI and automation, and prioritize equity in design[5].
The industry is also seeing increased investment in women's health, with private equity and venture capital investments in women's health growing quickly. According to a McKinsey analysis, women's health newcomers received $2.2 billion in funding over the past four years, with 60% of the top deals exclusively addressing women's health[2].
Regulatory changes and increasing patient demands are also shaping the industry. The health care services and technology sector has enjoyed continued demand for data, analytics, and software, and is well-positioned to overcome challenges by adopting a patient-centered approach and leveraging digital technologies, including AI-powered tools[3].
In comparison to previous years, the industry has made significant strides in recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic, with provider performance expected to recover by 2025. However, sustained financial stability requires ongoing productivity improvements and leveraging technologies for efficiency gains[3].
Overall, the health care industry is poised for change in 2025, driven by innovation, resilience, and strategic growth. Industry leaders are responding to current challenges by prioritizing growth strategies, addressing workforce challenges, and leveraging transformative technologies to improve care delivery and affordability.
