**What Drives Healthcare Spending**

The Deloitte 2021 Report in the readings has a short version (feel free to download the long version, it can be used as a reference for content in future courses), containing a succinct report on major drivers in healthcare costs and performance. While this is a global report, keep in mind that healthcare is driven by industrialized nations with a variety of complex systems. The U.S. is one of course, but it is influenced by the others. This was made clear during the pandemic when healthcare needs changed overnight, and the world was ill-prepared for it.

The report speaks to
**six** major drivers for the future:
**Consumers and the human experience** _,_ **Care model innovation,** **Digital transformation and interoperable data** _,_ **Socioeconomic shifts** _,_ **Collaboration** _,_ and the
**Future of work and talent** _._
