- Evidenced-based Management
- Healthcare can’t keep up with the rate of scientific discovery
- “Not being sick” to “Being Well”
- Shortage of Professionals
- The information hight gains more and more influence
- Concepts such as P2P and Web 2.0 arrive at the health sector
- Social entrepreneurs take the lead
- Consumer-driven healthcare
- Electronic medical records
- Cost containment will become more and more critical in healthcare
- New actors will appear in the healthcare value chain
- Healthcare will become more and more “vertical”
- Personalize medicine drives the agenda
- Bioinformatics emerge
- Bioconnectivity is the next big thing
- Electronic signature is everywhere
- The triple helix is becoming real – administration, hospitals and universities, venture capital.
Some of these are obvious, others provocative. Are there more to add to the list?
