The health economy has undergone significant transformation over the past decade, with the passage of Medicare and Medicaid in 1965 marking a pivotal moment. The Affordable Care Act's expansion of Medicaid, demographic-driven Medicare growth, and the digitization of health records have further reshaped the field, and the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated this process. As a result, experienced and aspiring health sector leaders must navigate an increasingly complex landscape to conceive, create, and implement solutions that will improve our health care system now and in the future. The New Health Economy offers a comprehensive 360-degree look at the field by exploring four pillars: politics, policy, providers, and personalization. Topics covered include the federal government's role as the largest payer and regulator of health care, health care finance and the shift from the fee-for-service model toward value-based care, the increasing consolidation of provider networks, and data-driven personalizations inside and outside of the field. Drawing from interviews with top leaders in the field, including a former CDC director, a former FDA commissioner, and the current CEOs of Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson, this essential guide compares each sector before and during the COVID-19 crisis. These comparisons shed light on how the pandemic has accelerated recent trends in health care and provide leaders with an outline for a strategic path forward. The New Health Economy brings together the best thinking from across the health care sector, providing insight into COVID-19's impact on the field and offering valuable guidance for navigating the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
