Children’s healthcare is different. In order to thrive in this unique market, pediatric organizations need strategies and tactics customized to their specific environment. 

Demand for pediatric services is intensifying due to increased rates of chronic illness among children, expanded insurance coverage, and an ongoing shortage of specialized pediatric providers and medical personnel. Children’s health systems are already struggling to meet these challenges, and now they are facing many of the same problems impacting the larger healthcare system—specifically, rising costs outpacing revenue growth, increased competition for covered lives, shifting regulatory and payer dynamics, technology advances, and demographic change.
