From the Oliver Wyman Health Innovation Center,
new ideas on how traditional healthcare companies and new players
can (and must) move closer together
Close to 100 senior executives from across the entire field of
healthcare, plus additional industries including retail, venture
capital, social media, and IT will meet this week in Chicago to
discuss and plan for a radically changed healthcare market. The
session sponsored by the Oliver Wyman Health Innovation Center,
will focus on perhaps the most striking feature of the emerging
market: the way traditional healthcare companies and new players
such as retailers and IT companies are coming together in new,
potentially powerful combinations. More information on the agenda
and speakers can be found here.
“We expect to see traditional health insurance companies get
more involved in the delivery of healthcare,” explains Sukanya
Soderland, a partner in Oliver Wyman’s Health & Life Sciences
practice group and a member of the center. “And some of the newer
models of healthcare delivery such as accountable care
organizations force doctors and hospitals to take on part of the
financial risk of caring for patients, moving them closer to the
role of insurer.
Oliver Wyman Partner Charlie Hoban adds, “The new healthcare
market will be much more consumer-oriented, much more
technology-enabled, and much more focused on wellness and healthy
lifestyles, and that means there will be a role for a whole array
of new players. It’s not just that they have an opportunity—they’re
needed. As one executive told us, ‘It’s unlikely that the
traditional players, tied as we are to our business models and
assets, will be agile enough to revolutionize healthcare. Look at
Amazon and bookstores.’”
Participants in the session will work together to answer three
key questions about healthcare convergence:
- What are the rules of the new
market?
- What business models are most likely to
succeed?
- How will companies need to change to
compete in the new healthcare world, and what happens to companies
that fail to change?
Speakers and participants at the event will include:
- Brian Ancell, executive vice president
of Healthcare Services and Strategic Development for Premera Blue
Cross, a 1.5-million member health plan in the state of
Washington
- Peter Hudson, co-founder and chief
executive officer of iTriage, developer of a best-selling
symptom-checker smartphone app
- Jason Gorevic, chief executive officer
of Teladoc, a 6 million–member telehealth provider
- Alex Drane, co-founder, chief visionary
officer, and chair of the board of Eliza, which uses speech
recognition technology to engage people in conversations about
their health and drive healthy behavioral change.
“Much of what’s wrong with U.S. healthcare starts with a
business model that rewards the wrong kinds of behaviors on the
part of doctors, hospitals, insurance companies, even patients. We
understand how to fix it, but it’s a complex process. Meetings like
this, where leaders come to share their ideas on how they plan to
evolve, are a crucial first step,” says Soderland.
