Key Findings
The 3% Problem
Physicians typically engage with only 3–5% of available patient data during a standard visit. Diagnostic errors affect an estimated 12 million Americans annually, many linked to information buried in clinical systems.
Infrastructure Is Clinical Infrastructure
Hospital data volumes are doubling every two years, with a single hospital generating up to 50 petabytes annually. Legacy IT was not built for this scale.
Clinical Alignment Is the #1 Success Factor
85% of healthcare leaders identify clinical alignment as the single most critical factor in successful digital transformation.
The Co-Innovation Model
Health systems are no longer passive buyers. They are active co-builders, with clinicians, IT leaders, and administrators embedded in development from day one.
28 Featured Leaders
Three Structural Shifts Defining the Next Decade
Health Systems Will Become Intelligence Platforms
Continuously analyzing patient data, identifying risk before crisis, and optimizing outcomes at population scale.
Co-Innovation Will Replace the Vendor-Customer Relationship
Health systems, technology companies, and capital aligned from the beginning — building together, not buying and selling.
Digital Infrastructure Will Be Clinical Infrastructure
Connectivity, compute, and data architecture are not IT investments but frontline clinical capabilities.
