Do some drugs have such high value to society that they should cost patients nothing? With over 1.9 million new cancer cases and 610,000 expected deaths in 2023 alone, the economic burden of cancer is estimated to reach a staggering $25.9 trillion globally by 2050. But if a pharmaceutical company were to find a cure for cancer, how much should patients have to pay? While some argue that life-saving drugs should be free, others highlight the need for balancing innovation with affordability. If you haven’t had a chance to check out the CBOH's latest white paper, 'Is Innovation Without Affordability Innovation?', this in-depth report explores the complexities of pharmaceutical pricing in the U.S. and its impact on patients, employers, and policymakers.

At the 2024 UNC Business of Healthcare Conference, the panel titled 'The Non-Clinical Healthcare Workforce' will delve into the implications of the healthcare industry's increasing interdisciplinary nature. As the demand for diverse expertise grows to address the complex challenges and changes facing healthcare, this panel will explore the significance of this trend. KFF’s tracker details the recent trends in health sector employment: https://lnkd.in/edR38v73. With physicians and clinicians now primarily employed by corporations, it’s noteworthy to see who is leading some of the nation’s largest healthcare companies. The presence of non-clinicians in healthcare leadership is rising, as the percentage of clinicians on hospital and health system boards declines annually. In 2018, nearly one-third of hospital boards had no physician members, while many healthcare organizations increasingly seek leaders from sectors like finance and insurance. · Professional Backgrounds of Board Members at Top-Ranked US Hospitals: https://lnkd.in/eb2EHeQT. · Most board members of the nation’s top hospitals work in finance or business: https://lnkd.in/emQNkZQD.
