Global healthcare leaders call for radical change, shared learning and innovation

A new report published by KPMG’s Global Healthcare Practice finds that many of the world’s health economies will need to consider radical reform if they are to cope with the combined challenge of rising costs and demand. Something to teach, Something to learn: Global perspectives on healthcare examines the major trends impacting the sector and how payers, providers and policy makers are evolving to adapt. 

Highlights include:

•	The shift from volume to value is reshaping how healthcare is provided and paid for, with quality trumping quantity.
•	A new breed of ‘activist payers’ focused on value is reshaping patient behaviors and moving care upstream to prioritize prevention.
•	Providers are transforming themselves into ‘health systems’, providing new forms of more integrated care and taking on greater risk and accountability for outcomes from payers.
•	Patients are becoming active partners in their own care, demanding greater control and putting pressure on clinicians to shift their role from ‘God to guide’.
•	‘High-growth health systems’ from rapidly developing countries are innovating fast and challenging traditional doctrines, offering learning opportunities for all.
