Predictions 2021: Healthcare

Healthcare gets a new home in 2021: Virtual care visits will continue to surge, and healthcare leaders will invest in hospital care at home to recover a $350 billion loss due to declining visits.

Every company that reopens a workplace will become a healthcare company as employers attempt to safeguard employees and mitigate the spread of COVID-19. In this report, we explore Forrester’s predictions for healthcare in 2021.
