How Patients Are Driving The Future Of Healthcare

Woman at home having online consultation with doctor GETTY According to a recent study by Deloitte, patients are the main drivers of seismic change within the healthcare industry. The shorthand term for the phenomenon is the “consumerization of healthcare” — a patient-centric care model that’s pervasive across all geographies and socioeconomic groups.

As medical problems got more complicated, treatments became more sophisticated and wildly expensive. With the rise of for-profit insurance and “managed care” in the late 20th-century, doctors were driven to see more patients per day—spending up to half those visits on the computer for insurance and billing purposes.
