For further understanding what

Trends in healthcare…

Gives further detailed

information about

trends that are affecting

the healthcare system.

Introduction

• This presentation introduces the five macro-

trends of the US healthcare system and how it

will shape the future. It will also explain the

factors that will impact the healthcare system

as well. These factors are analysis of the World

Health Organization (WHO) and consist of

social, cultural, economic, political or any other

activity human beings participates in.

• Therefore, the impact of these factors will be

accessed in recognizing advantages and risks.

• This presentation also introduces creation of

jobs based off those factors and

recommendations that will assist the new

opening of job opportunities.

Impacts on economy can be negative and positive so that

leadership focuses on leadership strategies to control

negative impacts.

The direct negative impact on the economic system consist of

two major issues:

1. Decreasing human resource.

2. Increasing treatment cost.

Quantitative structural, and intermediate traditions of

individuals have direct and indirect relationship with national

and international economic growth.

Work force age & gender – civilian labor force (above 16)…

63.3%; Civilian labor force (female)… 58.7%

Year 2010-2014 – With disability (under 65)… 8.5%; Without

insurance… 10.5%;

Macro-trend 1: Economy

Macro-trends has the greatest impact on demographic issues relating to

statistical data such as:

1 Gender- Male , Female and GLBT.

3 Birth rate –New born and its birth rate

2 Income – Poor versus Rich, ,Lower ,middle & upper class

4 Death rate – old age and its death rate

What we found? Macro-Trend 2:

Personal Lifestyle: unhealthy

lifestyle such as smoking, alcohol

consumption, physical inactivity,

unhealthy dietary practices.

This causes acute chronic diseases;

heart diseases, obesity, and forms

of cancers.

Technology

1 Biotechnology Innovation Organization

purely based on biology; uses technologies

to process cells and biological .

2 Currently using human stem cells to

test new drugs; This can help guarantee

to generate cells and tissues that can

be used for cell based therapy.

3 Treat diseases like spinal cord injuries,

burns, heart diseases, diabetes,

osteoarthritis, macular degeneration,

and rheumatoid arthritis.

What we found? Macro-trend 4: Technology

- Biotechnology and Non-Biotechnology

Biotechnology: reducing

rates of infectious

diseases.

Top trend in biotechnology are

stem cell therapies and

personalized medicines.

1 Federal Law: HIPAA (Healthcare Insurance Portability and Accountability Act; OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration Act)

2 State Law: OSHA; MOSH (Maryland…);

3 Workplace Medical Surveillance –
