AOA Critical Issues Symposium: The Dynamic Environment of Health Care.

Abstract

The dynamic health-care environment continues to undergo disruptive change. As the health-care system emerges from the pandemic, underlying issues have progressively become critical. Private equity acquisition is dramatically increasing, and consolidation in the entire health-care system limits choice and access. Challenges in the workforce and supply chain persist, adding pressure on already strained health-care organizations. Innovative solutions are required to provide equitable value-based access to orthopaedic care.
