The Perfect Storm: How COVID-19, the Gig Economy, and Consumer Empowerment are Finally Changing Healthcare
CAHR20 | Presented by Sean Mehra
This year brought a confluence of circumstances punctuated by the COVID-19 pandemic. With small businesses under duress, contract work on the rise, and millions out of work, employer-provided healthcare is no longer the standard for most of America. At the same time, empowered consumers are managing their own health and expect on-demand service and transparency. Now that consumers have embraced telehealth as a viable long-term option for medical care, big brains and big money are rewriting the rules on how healthcare is accessed and consumed. The result will be healthcare that's more affordable, convenient, and accessible than ever—a feat no less historic nor less impactful to the field of medicine than the inventions of antibiotics or vaccines.
