New Entrants - Marriage of Previous Items
“Delivery System Transformation” - #3 on was considered a combination of last year’s Item #3 “Population Health
Services” and Item #7 “External Disruption”
“Holistic Individual Health” considered a subset of last year’s Item #2 “Total Consumer Health”
Movement of Previous Items
“Value-based Payments” ranked #4 on last year’s list was replaced with “Next Generation Payment Models” and
dropped a few spots to #7
Participants felt that the label ‘value-based’ was too narrow and becoming an insufficiently defined, worn-out
phrase
“Rising Pharmacy Costs” (#6 in 2019) and “Opioid Management” (#9 in 2019) were considered part of new
“Holistic Individual Health” (#6)
“Operational Effectiveness” (#8 in 2019) dropped off the 2020 HCEG Top 10 list

Pulse Survey Respondent (Health plan director):“Ensure payers and providers share risk and they will be more likely to think outside the traditional
‘box’ to effectively manage populations and provide solutions.”
Pulse Survey Respondent (Health plan manager):“Each entity has their primary objectives in how they operate and utilize clinical data, and they
don't necessarily align. There seems to be a number of attempts to move forward on a large
scale, which may be too overwhelming to successfully implement.”

Network contracts are biased towards fee-for-service
Lack of systems to support value-based reimbursement
Confusion surrounding payment models and risk management
Resistance to change
Complexity of changing physician behavior• Several of the top
barriers are
psychological,
which require both
payers and
providers to think in
new ways about
care delivery and
the business of
healthcare
• For value-based
reimbursement
programs to be
effective, there is a

healthcare as other
industries, we are likely
to see a significant
jump next year

Because many healthcare organizations have notbeen hit by a cyber attack
There are limited regulatory requirements forcybersecurity
A lack of an overarching corporate cybersecuritystrategy
Not recognized as a priority at the executive andboard level
Too difficult to account for all the human factors(e.g. phishing emails, social engineering)
The cost to fully address cybersecurity gaps is toohigh
There are too many urgent priorities
The sophistication of cyber-attacks increases at ahigher rate than prevention capabilities
“Solutions impede efficiency”
“Overblown issue,
hyped by the industry”
“Poor available solution choices”

Key Message:Business Model Disruption is Coming
A confluence of forces will require healthcare to adopt new business models and market strategies
• People: Consumers continue to demand a healthcare experience that mirrors the
access and convenience of other industries, while industry stakeholders are
beginning to explore how to place people at the center of healthcare
• Processes: How the business of healthcare gets done and how care is delivered will
be changed by continued advances in analytics, AI-enabled technologies, value-
based care, and new consumer expectations and demands
• Technologies: Emerging technologies will continue to offer significant opportunities
to healthcare due to lagging traditional business models, new entrants, and a lack
of experienced workers for current and emerging needs
