2024 Outlook for Health Care Planning for the Future of Health: Top trends for 2024

2024 Outlook for Health Care Planning for the Future of Health: Top trends for 2024

“What does community mean for us when it’s animated?” Earlier this month I had the opportunity to attend the Alliance for Healthier Communities conference “Co-Designing the Future of Primary Health Care.” One key theme was the concept of integrated care – care that is coordinated, person-centred and holistic. All good words, but how do we do it? Especially in the current health care environment. Cormac Russell was one of the many fabulous speakers and offered some insights and ideas for the role of community in integrated care. ·        being surrounded by people who care ·        having authentic conversations ·        acknowledging the wisdom that is in the room ·        giving everyone ‘a good listening to’ ·        leading with questions, not answers ·        recognizing there can be no wellness without equity   and seeing community, not just as the receivers of healthcare but as the creators of health. That does feel doable to me. We can’t integrate care without connection, and we can’t connect if we don’t care to listen. It’s simple, but not always easy: listening as an act of rebellion, 😊 knowing that sometimes I will hear things that are uncomfortable, and challenge my assumptions and perspectives, but that’s where change can happen. How do you see the role of community in shaping a more integrated and person-centred healthcare system? What feels doable to you?

This underscores the healthcare industry's transformative year, emphasizing the need for innovative thinking and bold actions in hospital management. Key trends include the rapid adoption of digital health, a move towards value-based care, and the necessity for leaders to embrace change. The author advocates for a proactive approach to navigate challenges, fostering resilience and progress in the dynamic healthcare landscape. #healthcareexcellence #physicianleadership #wellbeingmatters #ache https://lnkd.in/gKPdUpFw

Oregon has a long, proud history of health system transformation, dating back to 1989 with the creation of the Oregon Health Plan (OHP). For over 30 years, Oregon has been on the cutting edge of innovation, leading the nation in our willingness to challenge underlying assumptions, and to honestly explore the difficult questions involved with efforts to ensure access to health care in a world of finite resources. Today, the framework of our health system innovation stands at a crucial point in its evolution. Not only have we strayed from the vision that guided the creation of our Coordinated Care Organizations (CCOs) in 2012, but there is also uncertainty about the future of one of the foundational elements of the OHP, the prioritized list, around which we have built the covered benefit for over three decades. Of equal concern, is the fact that there is virtually no institutional memory, in either the legislature or in the Oregon Health Authority, regarding the debate that led to both the OHP and our CCOs—or of why these policies were enacted in the first place. Furthermore, over the past decade there has been a significant turnover in the leadership in Oregon hospitals, health plans and CCOs. For these reasons, it may be useful to provide some context for our health care system in 2024, a common understanding of how and why the Oregon system developed the way it did. It is my hope, that providing this context and history of the evolution of Oregon’s current Medicaid delivery system and care model, will help inform the upcoming debate over the future of the Oregon Health Plan and Oregon’s Coordinated Care Organizations. By recommitting ourselves to a partnership in collaboration and innovation, we have the opportunity to move this 30-year odyssey to the next level, and reclaim our position at the leading edge of the national health policy debate.

As healthcare organizations continue to prioritize health equity, board members play a crucial role in advancing these efforts. The American Hospital Association recently published an article providing valuable insights and tips on how board members can prioritize health equity in their organizations. The AHA offers various resources, including the Health Equity Roadmap, Health Equity Transformation Assessment, and a set of 10 discussion questions, to guide organizations through their health equity journey. These resources foster conversation and provide a framework for organizations to assess and improve their health equity strategies. To learn more about the AHA's resources and how board members can prioritize health equity in their organizations, check out the link below.
