Top Three Trends That Are Affecting Pittsburgh Seniors in 2019
Healthstream site trends that may redefine senior health care in Pittsburgh this year
According to Healthstream “Across the continuum of care, 2019 is going to be a year of uncertainty, as well as innovation. Many experts predict change in terms of healthcare financing, merger and acquisition activity, and new technology coming into play. The need keeps growing for everyone in the industry to put together infrastructure to support value-based healthcare and to deter hackers. Like usual, we’ll still be focusing on employee recruitment, development, treatment, and retention. Uncertainty also creates opportunity—expect both through the coming months.”
Here are the three trends Healthstream focuses on:
1. The Population is Aging
We are nearing the watershed demographic moment, 2030, when one of five residents of the U.S. will be retired
2. These Seniors Are Different
These seniors in this cohort are very active and not the traditional image that we have of senior citizens. Many are still working, and it is estimated that by 2024 36% of people 65 to 69 will be still be in the labor force.
3. Creating new mergers and partnerships to improve continuum care
Mandatory bundled health programs, the ones everyone expected to slow or move toward value-based care, have not been the case—the move to value-based care is continuing.
