However, actors in the industry are looking for ways to keep these ongoing challenges and to find solutions. First of all, the growing demand for ageing population and the associated expenditures, despite the regional recovery costs, are not just one of the key issues and trends affecting the global health sector. Spreading chronic diseases, developing costly clinical innovations, increasing patient awareness, knowledge and expectations, economic uncertainties are also just some of other trends. Between 2015 and 2020, health costs are expected to increase between 2.4 and 7.5 percent around the world. While countries struggle to improve access to health services or institutes, infrastructure problems make it difficult for the public health system to maintain quality of service and affordability.
While actors of the healthcare system struggle to reduce unnecessary clinical and managerial processes and improve operational efficiency, on the other hand, they continue cost-containment measures in many ways, such as consolidation, vertical integration, low cost and unconventional adjustment shifts of services, strategic purchasing models, new clinicalapplications, standardized clinical processes and technology initiatives. Healthcare providers who make the right thing at the right time to protect the health of patients should be awarded and they should be regarded by restructuring economic incentives, guiding outcome and value-based payment programs. Many countries are transitioning from a centralized health management process to a localized health management process in order to uniquely approach local demographic, government, clinical and financial factors. Healthcare providers, who find it difficult to conduct further cost and operational efficiency work after achieving easy goals, should direct their attention to more transformative initiatives to break the cost curve.
