7 Ways Healthcare Will Change by 2017

Express Scripts reports, pharmacy will play a tremendous role in shaping the ever-evolving healthcare landscape. With so many uncertainties in healthcare today, it’s difficult to predict what the future of healthcare will hold. However, there’s one aspect that is certain: pharmacy will play a tremendous role in shaping the ever-evolving landscape.

Express Scripts recently released a report about the 7 ways healthcare will change by 2017. The report outlines the following seven trends driving the healthcare landscape this year.

1. Shift from Volume to Value: Plans and PBMs will continue to place greater emphasis on driving value and patient outcomes. There are several ways pharmacy can influence a value-based model, both clinically and financially.
2. Dramatic Cost Inflation: Drug prices have reached dangerously high levels. Best-in-class organizations are not taking the backseat on this issue; rather they are actively promoting advances that help to contain costs – particularly those that balance clinical innovation with sustainability.
