The healthcare market has many of the same characteristics and challenges as it did in 2011: Cost growth is an issue, quality and value are ongoing concerns and breaking even on government programs is a challenge, the report said.
As a result, healthcare executives do not plan to significantly change their short-term provider responses from the past seven years.
