67: Key Themes From the 2021 Sg2 Impact of Change® Forecast

This week on Sg2 Perspectives, we are joined by Madeleine McDowell, MD, FAAP, Sg2’s Principal and Medical Director of Quality and Strategy, who is also the thought leader behind our flagship analytic, the Impact of Change (IoC) forecast. In this episode, Dr McDowell shares the key trends (as well as the toughest debates the Sg2 team tackled!) for hospitals and health systems from our recently released 2021 IoC forecast, including projections for ED utilization and site shifts for post-acute care. We also discuss some upcoming technology changes that will enable large shifts in care patterns.

Sg2 members can dive deeper into the IoC forecast details by watching our recent forecast highlights webinar on-demand and reading Dr McDowell’s related Expert Insight.
