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

| #3--STATE & LOCAL GOVERNMENT
The Rocky Mtn region is the backbone of North America and traditionally focused on natural resource extraction. Future pacing areas will be:
#1--Environment vs. Extraction Conflicts
#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--21st Century economic development platform cornerstones: bio and agri-sciences, alternative energy and tourism.
