Economic
Development opportunities and risks
A number of medical providers outside the United States,
offering affordable high quality procedures, are creating
increasing competitive pressure for U.S. patients. As
the cost of healthcare in the U.S. continues to rise, the
market dynamics are not different than those that forever
changed other industries like electronics, automotive,
financial services and others. The HCGS frames the
issues, opportunities and potential responses for both U.S.
and international stakeholders including domestic and
international providers, U.S. employers, health insurers, and
economic development executives recognizing the value of
establishing a medical center of excellence. |
