the experts are cautiously optimistic<\/a> about how Americans will be feeling in terms of their prospects for health, but what about those of us who are responsible for bringing America the healthcare products and services they need?<\/p>\nEvery prognosticator sees the healthcare industry as expecting massive disruption in the way we have been operating. Is that bad? Disruption means change. Those with innovative products and service can meet that disruption head-on, if we have the determination to do so.<\/p>\n
\u201cDistraction\u201d Leads to Change<\/strong><\/p>\nKelly McCain, Head of Healthcare Initiatives for the World Economic Forum, wrote on January 17, 2022:<\/p>\n
\u201cNearly every aspect<\/em> of our lives has been disrupted by COVID-19: from how we socialize and communicate, to how we study and work. We are all familiar with the crisis, but how has it impacted innovation, especially in the health and healthcare sector?\u201d<\/p>\nIndeed, the disruption in our industry changed the way we work, how we meet, handle data and innovate. Change is in the air, and change demands that our industry must be more resilient than ever<\/em>.<\/p>\nI was surprised to learn that (according to the World Economic Forum), \u201cUp to\u00a080%<\/em> of providers\u00a0in the US are planning to invest in technologies including digital health, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, as well as tools to support clinical staff and caregivers over the next five years.\u201d<\/p>\nDigitization, virtual reality, AI, the very way we market and sell in the healthcare space, will undergo change. We should expect hybrid meetings, and more in the way of remote surgical procedures. Pharmaceutical manufacturing and laboratory research will continue to see the rise in robotics. Mergers and acquisitions will accelerate and most importantly, teams not individual \u201cstars\u201d will win in 2022.<\/p>\n
COVID-19 was the accelerant<\/em>, but not the shocker. If we deconstruct every change we are about to witness, wise healthcare teams, teams with vision saw these changes unfolding many years ago. Organizations and their teams who were early adapters, and who were resilient in their thinking, are far out in front of companies who were content with the status quo.<\/p>\nThose organizations still not prepared for change will be passed by the competition and may never recover.<\/p>\n
It Comes to a Resilient Mindset<\/strong><\/p>\nWhat is the mindset of your healthcare team? Are you supportive of one another, advocates for one another, determined to win for each other no matter what 2022 holds? Change isn\u2019t the problem in modern healthcare settings, it is the lack of resilience.<\/p>\n
If we expect change, indeed, if we look forward to changing with change, we will succeed. If not, we will be left behind. In this moment, let us all choose wisely.<\/p>\n
