Predicted technical innovations, such as robotics and AI, come with a high price tag, but should also play a role in improving quality and creating efficiency.

“With rising costs and shrinking margins, the health care sector is looking for innovative, cost-effective ways to provide the quality, outcomes, and value consumers seek,” said Dr. Terri Cooper, Deloitte Global Health Care sector leader. “Patient-centered, technology-enabled health care can help care providers work smarter and not just harder.”
