As hospitals face mounting financial pressure in 2025, health systems are reckoning with the fragility of their legacy business models. Ambulatory networks have long been considered an opportunity for growth, but legacy thinking still focuses on how ambulatory sites could drive inpatient volumes. That strategy is no longer working (and perhaps, never did). Savvy health leaders are now asking, how should we be evolving our ambulatory strategy in 2025, and setting ourselves up for 2035?
To answer those questions, host Rachel (Rae) Woods invites Advisory Board experts Jordan Peterson and Nick Hula to break down why the ambulatory strategy used for the last decade is no longer enough, why ambulatory growth needs to be top of mind for health system strategists 2025, and how leaders can shift their efforts from ambulatory sites to ambulatory capabilities.
