Research & Insights

Senior care

Thousands of people age into America’s senior population every day, challenging the healthcare industry to develop sustainable and equitable care models for managing this growing population. Our research explores the changing demographics of the senior population, areas of innovation and need, and opportunities for each industry stakeholder to improve senior care.

Value-based care

The value-based care (VBC) movement — intended to shift the industry away from volume-based reimbursement — has been slow thus far. The next decade of value-based care must be different. Our research explores the barriers to value-based care and identifies key action steps that each industry stakeholder can take to drive progress.
