Health Evolution Partners releases 2010 Health Industry Landscape Report

David J. Brailer, MD, PhD, Chairman of Health Evolution Partners, announced the firm's release of the 2010 Health Industry Landscape Report.

Health Evolution Partners Innovation Network (HEPIN)—the thought leadership and collaboration arm of Health Evolution Partners (HEP)—conducted a health sector landscape study. Through data collected from a series of interviews and a survey conducted in January and February 2010, this report maps attitudes among industry decision makers onto major industry trends. The results of this research were shared with the attendees of the HEP Innovation 2010 Conference, May 5-7, in Laguna Niguel, CA.

During his opening remarks for the conference, Dr. Brailer cited the key trends that emerged from this study:

• Health reform will dominate executive attention for years
• Health reform will shift spending across health sectors
• Hospitals and payors will become increasingly misaligned
• Hospitals face material margin erosion
• Hospitals will face new intrusions into geographic markets
• Regulatory hurdles and eroding reimbursement threaten life sciences
• Early adopters are experiencing concept fatigue
• Managed care will focus on treating severely ill and on wellness
• Wellness and IT will converge
• Large providers are focusing on health IT effectiveness, not adoption
