Top Takeaways from Align Health Insights: Episode 1
Our debut episode aired March 31, 2025, with Scott Howell, one of the nations top thought leaders on Market Access, unpacking critical shifts in healthcare. Here are the top insights driving our conversations:
Talent Surplus in Healthcare: Recent layoffs and restructuring have created a surprising surplus of skilled professionals—an opportunity and challenge for the industry. After years of shortages, this pivot is reshaping how we think about talent in the sector. Why are layoffs hitting now? From system consolidations to tech-driven efficiencies, 2024 saw 15% of healthcare roles impacted—leaving a pool of skilled professionals ready for what’s next.
AI and Efficiency as the Future: Operational efficiencies paired with AI advancements are set to define healthcare’s next chapter, from diagnostics to workflows. AI is already cutting costs by streamlining everything from diagnostics to scheduling. Meanwhile, smarter workflows are freeing up teams to focus on patients, not paperwork—efficiency means rethinking workflows to align resources with outcomes.
Navigating Reimbursement and Competition: Declining reimbursements down 10% in 2024 and rising competition are pushing healthcare to innovate or risk stagnation. With reimbursements tightening, healthcare’s brightest are stepping up—innovating to stretch every dollar. Meanwhile, competition—from startups to tech giants—is sparking creativity, with over 300 new care models launched last year.
