Demand for a variety of healthcare services – including those provided by hospitals – is likely to increase significantly in the near future, primarily as a result of the changing demographics of the U.S. population, most notably the growth in the number of Americans over the age of 65. Indeed, a Health Affairs study found that population aging alone will create approximately 0.74% annual growth in the demand for inpatient hospital services. While hospital consolidation is leading to operational efficiency for hospitals in providing services to an increasing number of patients, the federal government’s intensifying focus on anti-competitive behaviors in healthcare may hinder traditional consolidation efforts going forward.

What up ‘Medical Virtualist’?

Posted on April 13, 2018 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA MEd CMP™

[By Staff Reporters]

The Journal of the American Medical Association not long ago published an online editorial by two physicians at NewYork-Presbyterian that called for the creation of a new medical specialty focused on virtual care.

Others expanded on this idea in a blog post last month on the Health Affairs website, calling for a “virtualist movement” that involves not just physician specialists but whole care teams devoted to virtual care. This virtual team would include nurses, pharmacists, medical social workers, psychologists, nutritionists and physical therapists.
