Adaptability and agility will differentiate healthcare organizations (HCOs) that flourish amid volatility, per our new research, Healthcare Leaders: How To Thrive Through Volatility. Following recent changes in health policies and US government funding, it could be tempting for leaders at US HCOs to hunker down. Instead, to successfully navigate uncertainty and bolster their image as a pillar of strength and stability, healthcare providers and health insurers must lead with core values and revisit their priorities.

Prioritize And Be Proactive In Decision-Making

For forward-thinking HCOs, the onslaught of rapid changes can be a catalyst for innovation and transformation. From private-sector players to government agencies, HCO leaders must navigate change while honoring their mission and values. They must balance cost savings, growing cybersecurity and concentration risks, pressure to innovate, and leading change for their (often extensive) teams.

We know it’s a tall order. Where should you start? HCOs must firmly root their actions in their core values and foster collaboration within and across sectors of the industry. To bolster efficiency and stability, HCO leaders must also proactively develop and use frameworks to evaluate, test, measure, and invest in emerging technologies and new, innovative business models.
