Becker's 2024 Healthcare Trends point to need for more effective Health Equity strategies.
Start the year off right with a clear mind! Becker’s just published their 2024 Healthcare Trends to watch, which included a renewed focus on the mental and behavioral health crisis in the U.S. According to the article, mental and behavioral health has reached critical mass as demand exceeds supply. It is estimated that 1 in 5 Americans lived with a mental illness before COVID-19, and since the pandemic, rates of depression, suicide, and emergency department visits for pediatric mental health have soared, while nearly half of the U.S. residents reside in an area with mental health workforce shortages. This supply/demand trifecta will continue to drive healthcare innovation as prevalence increases and provider shortages persist. See the full article below.
