AHLA created a 2030 Task Force in July 2019 to research anticipated changes in the health care and health law industries over the next ten years. To facilitate a constructive dialogue among stakeholders involved in the continually evolving health care industry, AHLA is sharing with the public and the health law community a White Paper that is based on and expands the Task Force’s analyses and findings.

“Disruptive innovators,” such as new providers, new care delivery models, new technology, and increased access to health law resources, are likely to feature prominently in the future. At the same time, there is an active innovation and evolution process taking place in health care and health law. The White Paper discusses the top trends driving that evolution and innovation, which we anticipate will occur in the health care and health law industries over the next ten years.

The publication of this White Paper was made possible by the generous support of PYA.

In AHLA's latest Speaking of Health Law podcast, Carol Carden, Managing Principal at PYA, speaks to Tim Adelman of Luminis Health and Chair of the 2030 Task Force, about the work that went into the Task Force report and ultimately into the White Paper.
