The health care industry is facing transformational change. BCG helps health care payers, providers, systems, and services develop new initiatives to reposition—and reimagine—their organizations for the future, and to thrive.
The health care payers, providers, systems, and services landscape is being transformed. Digital engagement models are proliferating, with many patient journeys now beginning online. Health equity is becoming a priority for every organization that is serious about health outcomes. Site of care is continuing to shift from inpatient or hospital settings to outpatient facilities—and, where possible, to the home. Data and analytics are enabling greater agility and innovation in health care. And the basis of competition is moving toward ecosystems of players, including public sector, biopharma, medtech, and technology companies. BCG’s experts in health care strategy consulting help clients improve people’s lives through health care systems transformation, leading to profound and positive change for organizations, patients, and society.
