Shifting Landscapes An evolving insurance landscape changes the way patients pay for care and how health systems are reimbursed, resulting in a systemic shift to how health care is accessed and delivered. Health Systems Face Major Challenges Increased risk management, the transition to fee-for-value services, care fragmentation, and growing competition from retail clinics and B2C apps are all drastically changing the market landscape. For health systems, increased patient engagement and retention are essential to successfully navigate these major market shifts. Consumers in a Crunch Trusted health system brands are far better for consumers with tighter wallets, sorting through confusing options for care. As consumers place more value on convenience and on-demand service, health systems will benefit by delivering quality virtual care to consumers where they are, when they need it most.
