Healthcare Leadership Trends for 2025
Respondents also specified healthcare’s dominant disruptive forces in the coming 12-24 months:
57%
50%
34%
21%
15%
13%
FINANCIAL PRESSURES AND CONSTRAINTS
WORKFORCE ISSUES
GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS
ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY
CHANGING LEADERSHIP REQUIREMENTS
NON- TRADITIONAL COMPETITION
All of these forces are up noticeably from last year, suggesting greater risk intensity and volatility. One advanced technology disruptor that has garnered heavy interest and investment is artificial intelligence (AI). This emerging technology has many potential high-impact clinical and administrative uses. A new survey question inquired about AI’s disruption on leadership itself. Respondents were asked to project a timeline in which generative and other forms of AI would change managerial work at meaningful scale (e.g., augmenting decision-making, automating/eliminating significant work activities, generating major new analytic insights). The leading estimate was 2-3 years (Figure 3). Skepticism certainly prevails with 41% choosing over 3 years or no change at meaningful scale.
