Strategic Health Perspectives (SHP) can help you to identify and understand current issues and emerging trends within the healthcare marketplace because it is constantly monitoring the marketplace dynamics among key industry stakeholders, including policy makers, physicians, managed care companies, employers, and consumers. It is a one-of-a-kind annual service for strategic planners and executives who need two things to foresee and prepare for change:
- Industry dynamics & intelligence - to track the direction and pace of change in the healthcare industry.
- Material recommendations - specific for their company that provide direction for navigating that change over the next two to five years.
SHP is a year-long intelligence service for strategic planners and executives who need to not only understand the complex dynamics government regulation, employers, consumers, and policymakers create within the healthcare industry, but also foresee and prepare for change based on the intelligence specifically catering to their organizations marketplace and mission.
What are the SHP deliverables?
The SHP team (including Professor Bob Blendon of The Harvard School of Public Health and Ian Morrison, Health Care Futurist), has more than twenty years experience in identifying and analyzing emerging healthcare trends, and works with each subscriber to help them understand the implications of these changes as they directly relate to their specific business.
All subscribers receive a set of scheduled deliverables, including:
- Spring Meeting a full-day meeting where the SHP team anticipates nascent events and trends and, with your input, lays out a research agenda that will elucidate them.
