The health economy has undergone a significant transformation over the past decade, marking the most significant change since the introduction of Medicare and Medicaid in 1965. The Affordable Care Act's expansion of Medicaid, demographic-driven Medicare growth, and the digitization of health records have rapidly reshaped the traditional dynamics of the field, and the pandemic has further accelerated this process. Aspiring and experienced health sector leaders must navigate an increasingly complex healthcare landscape to develop, create, and implement solutions to improve our healthcare system both now and in the future.

The New Health Economy offers a comprehensive 360-degree perspective on the field by examining four key pillars: politics, policy, providers, and personalization.
