Becker's Hospital Review

Health Care Misconceptions from 98 Health System Execs

Becker's asked executives from hospitals and health systems across the U.S. to share the biggest misconception about health care this year. "The biggest misconception about health care today is that we have returned to a steady state. Now that the pandemic has settled out, there's an expectation that we can get back to business as usual. Yet we have had radical changes in our workforce and supply chains, the finances of health care have continued to morph, and we are looking at an unprecedented disruption from AI and biotechnology," said Eric Katz, MD, MBA, professor of Emergency Medicine and Internal Medicine with the University of Arizona College of Medicine – Phoenix.
