Not Too Distant Past

HEALTH CARE AND BIO-SCIENCE

Twenty years ago the baseline of our practice was in Hospital IT systems, cash flow improvment, tax exempt financing and internal controls. In the 1990s our emphasis shifted to managed care and mergers of independent hospitals into systems. We see four future pacing areas for the industry:

#1--Accelerated impact of disruptive technologies
#2--Need ti Improve cost experience curves
#3--Shift to defined contribution benefit plans and HSAs
#4--Hedging of risk using futures trading

The Future: Bio-Science
BOOKS AND MORTAR CENTRIC SYSTEM
EDUCATION
The current public school system is based on a bricks and mortar factory model, union labor and mass production of a commodity product.

#2-- Life-long, distance learning using the Internet.
#3-- Books eclipsed by game-based multi-media.
#4-- New Biology of learning.

#2--Depopulation of the rural diaspora and formation of large, urban city-states.
#3--Increased in-migration from coastal areas, stressing infrastructure and water resources.
#4-
