Friday Five – 2024 Predictions
In 2024, the healthcare landscape is poised to undergo transformative shifts, driven by technological advancements, evolving patient needs, and global health challenges. We’ve been asking our experts to comment on what they think the new year has in store. This week’s Friday Five rounds up what our thought leaders have had to say on some trending topics such as value-based care, digital health, cybersecurity, business of healthcare, and virtual care.
And check out all our prediction posts to look at what we might see in 2024.
What Will We See in Virtual Care in 2024?
The boom and then the bust? Will virtual care including virtual visits along with remote care monitoring continue to evolve? Was the boom just because of the pandemic? We have rounded up the industry leaders that have thoughts and predictions that say the future of virtual care will continue to expand, innovate, and drive policy change for payment in the coming years.
Improving Cybersecurity and Increasing Accountability in 2024
This month, following increasing cyber attacks and evolving tactics, the Biden administration has released a concept paper building on the national strategy released last year. The paper focuses specifically on strengthening resilience for hospitals, patients, and communities threatened by cyber-attacks. The paper details four pillars for action, including publishing new voluntary health care-specific cybersecurity performance goals, working with Congress to develop supports and incentives for domestic hospitals to improve cybersecurity, and increasing accountability and coordination within the health care sector. Is anyone predicting this will help the continued attack on our healthcare data? Is anyone predicting required minimum standards will happen and help?
Will 2024 See True Value-Based Care Transformation?
Every year the predictions include moving closer to value-based care. But are we really moving as quickly as needed to change outcomes and lower costs? Are care models aligning with transformation? Are we really getting true buy-in from providers to see true value-based care? What are the leaders saying they see for 2024?

And there is still nothing stopping it continuing into next year. Here is what the experts have to say.
