Recent rise in procedural volumes masks demographic-based utilization projections

As healthcare volumes stabilize after the pandemic, familiar demographic factors are set to shape the future of utilization. With an aging population and a smaller, sicker younger generation, health systems will face costlier and more complex volume growth. Learn how health system leaders can proactively address these trends and optimize performance for sustainable success.

The COVID-19 pandemic shaped volume trends from 2020 to 2023. Between deferred elective surgeries, rapid outpatient shifts, and some structural changes, volumes dropped and then recovered dramatically.1

Looking forward, we expect more familiar and fundamental trends — especially population growth and aging — to drive volume growth. However, those underlying forces will have a different effect on volumes than they did before the pandemic.
