“For2018 Iwouldsaythat wewill see anexplosion of AI inthefield ofimage recognition,embedded in
currenttoolsas decision support. ew businessmodels,suchasZebra whichuses

“Value
based healthcare is penetrating rapidly across many countries, and in peer-reviewed medical literature. national health systems are
embracing value-based healthcare as their strategic framework. More
providers are moving to integrated practice units to care for
conditions and at-risk populations such as poor-elderly, frail-elderly,
and opiate-addicted patients. The international Consortium for health
outcomes Measurement (ICHOM) and the Organisation for Economic
Cooperation and Development (OECD) are collaborating to expand adoption
of standardised outcome measurement for selected conditions across the
developed world. Corporations and regional governments, such as
Washington State in the US, are increasing their use of value-based
bundled payments to contract directly with provider “centres of
excellence” for comprehensive care of patients with acute and chronic
conditions."

“There will be more emphasis ondeveloping leadership in healthcare. Ihaveseen this in myday-to-daywork.In2015,I started aLeadershipSchool for employees interested ingetting intomanagement.Therewas aneed
todevelop leaders so I took on theresponsibilityto teachtalentedpeople inthelab environment. The curriculum provides introductory sessions on lab finance and quality and information systems followedbyleadershipskillsdevelopmentcovering topicssuch as communication,emotional intelligence andhowtomanage stress

effectively manage all sorts of complex changes for the future. The
vision includes preventing burnout, sharpening leadership skills, and
helping people develop their potential."
