Healthcare faces a pivotal year in 2008, says PricewaterhouseCoopers’ Health Research Institute in its annual review of the top health industry issues: anticipation of the outcome of the 2008 presidential election and adjustment to a new Medicare payment system, additional reporting requirements, pressure on Big Pharma to cut costs and innovate, the rise of retail health services and the ongoing evolution of consumer-directed healthcare. The implications of these issues are addressed in the Top Eight Health Industry Issues in 2008, an annual review of the pressing issues in healthcare, released today by PricewaterhouseCoopers’ Health Research Institute.
