Becker's Healthcare January 27, 2020
PwC’s Health Research Institute released its annual report on trends that are most and least likely to affect the healthcare industry in 2020.
For its report, HRI surveyed 300 provider executives, 100 payer executives, and 100 pharmaceutical and life sciences executives on current obstacles and opportunities in the industry. HRI also surveyed 3,500 adults for their perspective on consumer experience in healthcare.
Through its analysis, HRI verified whether six statements about current healthcare trends are true or false:
1. “Medical cost trend is expected to decrease in 2020.”
False. HRI projects a 6 percent medical cost trend for 2020, higher than the previous three years.
2. “Industry should expect the HHS to publish less regulation than usual next year.”
