Healthcare Provider Industry Trends

Emphasizing primary care and preventative medicine

By making initial health screenings lower cost and easier to access, patients can be diagnosed early and reduce the need for costly secondary care once conditions worsen.

Shifting from inpatient to outpatient services

Payers are putting pressure on providers to shift away from costly inpatient hospital services to lower-cost outpatient services wherever possible.

Rise of value-based model

Value-based care represents a paradigm shift that prioritizes “outcomes generated” over “services provided”. This has led to a shift away from traditional “fee-for-service” reimbursement models, and towards alternative payment structures.

Testimonials

Excellent primer with all relevant information presented in an efficient and effective way. This is the first time I use Primerli, but definitely will not be the last time.

- Management Consultant

This was one of the best CPE learning experiences I have ever had. The videos were informative, well designed and easy to follow, breaking down complex concepts into manageable chunks of information. The animations were clean and aided in comprehension rather than being distracting like a lot of elearning videos. Icons and imagery were similarly aligned to the topics and aided in understanding. Loved the checkpoint questions and the pace of the learning on an interesting topic.

- Consultant

I've been working in the Healthcare/Pharma industry for 20+ years and I've never had a comprehensive summary/primer like this. I wish I had this earlier in my career.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a primer?

Think of a primer as your quick-start guide to understanding the landscape of an industry (such as Investment Banking, Renewable Energy, Retail, etc.).

‍

Industry information is readily available but Googling can lead you down a rabbit hole of scattered, inconsistent and text-heavy resources - leaving a fragmented picture of the industry. And this content can miss the mark: they’re either too long and full of extraneous details, making it tough for beginners to find what they need, or too short, leaving out critical detail.
