What Is The 2023 Global Health Care Outlook

The 2023 Global Healthcare outlook takes into consideration many different aspects of healthcare that are believed to have the capability “transform care delivery, the patient experience, and ways of working at hospitals and other facilities, while also reducing inequities and boosting resiliency” (n.d.). This document looks at five different aspects of healthcare that, with proper adjustments, could have significant effects and could change healthcare, possibly for the better. These five aspects consist of virtual health delivery, workforce, digital transformation, health equity, and sustainability.
