2022 HCEG Top 10 is the 15th annual list from HealthCare Executive Group and drives research, presentation, and networking events.

SALT LAKE CITY, UT, USA, February 15, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Over 130 senior-level executives from health plans, health systems, care providers, and technology partner organizations voted on the top 10 critical focus areas impacting their organizations in the new year.

The HealthCare Executive Group (HCEG), a 34-year-old non-profit networking and leadership organization of executives, presented HCEG Network members with a list of 21 focus areas compiled from annual member input, events held throughout 2021, previous HCEG Top 10 lists, and industry research. These senior healthcare leaders then selected and ranked ten items representing priorities for 2022. This multi-step, month-long process resulted in the HCEG Top 10 priorities for 2022:

1. Cost: Prices, Profits, & Transparency
2. Consumerism: Aligned, Centered, & Engaged Healthcare
3. Accessibility: Primary Care, Points of Service, & Care Transformation
4. Delivery: Transforming to Achieve the Quadruple Aim
5. Health: Individual, Population, & Public Health
6. Digital: Value-Creating Technologies & Tools
7. Leadership: Talent, Strategy, & Workplace Environment
8. Payment: Value-Based, Collaborative, & Equitable
9. Data: Liquidity, Interoperability, & Analytics
10. External: Policy, Governmental, & Non-Traditional Entities

Foundational Areas Survive While Pandemic Brings New Priorities into Focus

“One word has changed our healthcare world: COVID!” noted HCEG Executive Director Ferris W. Taylor. “The pandemic has forced dramatic changes at an unprecedented pace upon all healthcare organizations. New challenges have superseded previous priorities while the importance of other areas have changed. While costs, consumerism, and accessibility remain at the top, it’s clear that addressing social determinants on a personalized, holistic and population-wide basis using value-creating, digital technologies are key focus areas. The leadership, talent, and working environment needed to address healthcare’s priorities have become a priority in and of itself.”

Ferris added: “In listening to HCEG Network members, the remaining focus areas are considered foundational priorities applicable across the entire healthcare delivery ecosystem. For example, while clearly an important area to stay on top of, Privacy & Security dropped just outside this year's top ten priorities. Having the Top 10 list helps us focus our thought leadership discussion, events, and networking opportunities for the coming year.”

Basis for Additional Research and Collaboration

HCEG will be kicking off the 11th annual Industry Pulse, a more in-depth dive into specific focus area topics of the 2022 HCEG Top 10. Healthcare leaders across the nation will be invited to participate in this research that backdrops and contrasts additional insight and their own perspectives. Ferris Taylor added: “The 2022 HCEG Top 10 and coming Industry Pulse research list identifies something (or many things) that every healthcare professional can do in the next year to improve the industry we work in. We’re excited to engage with members of the HCEG Network including our partners in the coming year.”
