Vizient forecasts tough decade ahead for hospital resources iient, Inc. released its annual Impact of hange Forecast from its subsidiary Sg, on June , 0, proecting hospital resources will eperience een greater strain due to a rise in patient acuity oer the net decade that will outpace inpatient olume and impact patient length of stay. Fueled in part by I and its lingering
effects, healthcare organiations can poten- tially epect increased number of patients with more comple conditions creating capacity constraints that may reuire new strategies for patient care deliery. he report forecasts adult inpatient olumes recoering from pre-pandemic numbers but growing only oer the net decade. Howeer, fueled by an increase in chronic conditions, adult inpatient days are epected to increase during that same time, with additional increases in tertiary inpatient days (1). he shift of inpatient surgical olumes to outpatient is proected to soften to modest growth () in procedures performed inpatient by the end of the decade. ike the inpatient setting, 01 outpa-
tient actiity remained below 019 leels, though outpatient surgery fully recoered in the second half of the year. er the net decade the Impact of hange forecast notes utpatient olumes are proected to
return to pre-pandemic leels in 0 and then grow 16 oer the net 10 years, three percentage points aboe population estimated growth. he aging population, increased suriorship and rise in chronic disease are the main driers of growth. he shuffl e of surgical olumes across ambulatory sites will continue throughout the decade, with surgeries proected to grow at ambulatory surgery centers and 1 at both hospital outpatient departments and physician offi ces. Increased payer scrutiny, cost saing measures, hospital-based capac- ity and resource constraints, combined with the rise in aging and chronic disease popu- lations are driing this increased demand in outpatient surgeries. he decline in emergency department
(E) isits eperienced during the pan- demic was sharp but is epected to plateau with a decline in demand proected at - oer the net 10 years. E isits will remain signifi cantly below 019 olumes as a result of lower acuity olumes shifting to alter- natie care sites including irtual triage. dditionally, as pandemic-era protocols decline, infectious diseases such as asthma, chronic lung disease, and cystic fi brosis are epected to return with a increase this year in E isits before decreasing 10 by 0.
