At the same time, we expect a continuation of many existing trends—including, most importantly, the shift from volume to value in healthcare markets. This mix of new and old issues led us to focus on three themes—policy change, the pursuit of value, and access to care—for our 2017 Healthcare Industry Outlook.

Within each of these three themes, we identified core issues and what they will mean for manufacturers, patients, plans, and providers. Throughout this document, we have also woven in commentary from a diverse group of Avalere subject matter experts.

The topics include:

From beginning to end, our team synergy
produces measurable results. Let's work together.
