As BerryDunn’s Healthcare Practice Group lead, Lisa Trundy-Whitten is closely attuned to the healthcare industry. From challenges faced by healthcare organizations to the solutions BerryDunn’s experts can provide, Lisa shares thoughtful insights for healthcare leaders.
Today’s healthcare leaders are navigating a perfect storm. Workforce shortages, financial strain, regulatory uncertainty, technology integration challenges, cybersecurity risks, and persistent inequities converge to create unprecedented pressure across the industry. Meanwhile, leaders are being asked to innovate, improve operational efficiencies, and deliver exceptional care—all while remaining compliant and financially viable.
In this shifting climate, thinking strategically about the key challenges you face is essential, including for:
-
Federal and state policy changes: Monitoring the latest developments, such as the impacts of the Inflation Reduction Act, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), and new payment models
-
AI adoption: Employing AI for operational efficiency, predictive analytics, and member advocacy while balancing concerns about cost, governance, and compliance
As healthcare leaders, you grapple with these concerns daily. And even though the issues are familiar, the urgency is new. The key to staying viable is investing in innovation and collaboration and placing a strategic focus on operational efficiency, workforce well-being, and patient-centered care, all while remaining adaptable.
Considering these pressures, what sets successful organizations apart?
Recommendations for healthcare leaders

Are your teams working seamlessly to carry out your strategic vision and drive meaningful results? What guides your operational decisions? Are there areas where seeking external help may benefit your organization?
