Particularly appropriate given the top trend Vynamic has identified this year – the convergence of healthcare to create value (1:15). Collaboration will also be critical in addressing the next trend – the growing healthcare workforce crisis (6:00). The next two trends have to do with expansion – in the definition of health to include healthcare plus selfcare (10:40) and the marketplace for precision therapy and digital therapeutics (14:02). The final trend explored is the shift from acknowledgment to activation when it comes to health equity (17:30). Finally, the group ties it all together with a discussion on how listeners can incorporate these trends into their 2023 plans (22:50).   For additional information on these 2023 Healthcare Industry Trends, check out Vynamic’s recent insight and infographic.  Podcast Tags: healthcare, healthcare news, healthcare trends, healthcare technology, providers, health plans, health equity, healthcare workforce, public health, life sciences, precision therapy  Source Links: https://vynamic.com/insights/2023-healthcare-industry-trends/  For additional discussion, please contact us at TrendingHealth.com or share a voicemail at  1-888-VYNAMIC.  Mindy McGrath, Healthcare Industry Advisor and Head of Public Health Sector Mindy.McGrath@vynamic.com Karen Baldry, Executive and Head of Life Sciences Sector Karen.Baldry@vynamic.com Ryan Hummel, Executive and Head of Provider Sector Ryan.Hummel@vynamic.com Saurabh Raman, Director and Head of Health Plan Sector Saurabh.Raman@vynamic.com Mary Virzi, Executive and Head of Healthcare Technology Sector Mary.Virzi@vynamic.com
