Health system finances will remain strained in 2025, leading many to approach growth differently. Rather than focusing on patient volumes and topline revenue from historically strong service lines, leaders are embracing two shifts in mindset: from growing to get bigger to growing to get stronger, and from focusing on conventional service lines strategies to identifying and cultivating a comparative advantage. This interactive workshop highlights several health systems that are pursuing differentiated avenues of growth. Our facilitators will guide your strategy team through our framework to begin identifying potential growth opportunities for your organization. This is a co-created and co-facilitated session with Optum Advisory.

Recommended for health system executives and strategy teams.
