The longevity challenge healthcare leaders can't afford to ignore
Americans are living longer, but the healthcare system is not keeping pace.
By 2030, the U.S. is projected to face a shortage of 121,900 physicians. At the same time, 63.7 percent of adults age 65 and older are managing two or more chronic conditions and geriatrics training requirements continue to decline across medical schools1.
Healthcare leaders are being asked to do more with fewer resources while caring for an aging population with increasingly complex needs.
This report explores the forces reshaping care delivery in the era of longevity, from workforce shortages and chronic disease prevalence to health literacy challenges, financial insecurity and disparities in health outcomes.
