6. Introduction
• This presentation introduces the five macro-
trends of the US healthcare system and how it
will shape the future. It will also explain the
factors that will impact the healthcare system
as well. These factors are analysis of the World

• Therefore, the impact of these factors will be
accessed in recognizing advantages and risks.
• This presentation also introduces creation of
jobs based off those factors and
recommendations that will assist the new
opening of job opportunities.

7. Impacts on economy can be negative and positive so that
leadership focuses on leadership strategies to control
negative impacts.
The direct negative impact on the economic system consist of
two major ways:
1. Decreasing human resource.
2. Increasing treatment cost.
Quantitative structural, and intermediate traditions of
individuals have direct and indirect relationship with national
and international economic growth.
Work force age & gender – civilian labor force (above 16)…
63.3%; Civilian labor force (female)… 58.7%
Year 2010-2014 – With disability (under 65)… 8.5%; Without
insurance… 10.5%;
What we found? Macro-trend 1: Economy

8. Macro-trends has the greatest impact on demographic issues relating to
statistical data such as:
1 Gender- Male and Female; GLBT
3 Birth –New born and birth rates

heart diseases, obesity, and forms
of cancers.

10. Technology
1 Biotechnology Innovation Organization
purely based on biology; uses technologies
to process cells and biological .
2 Currently using human stem cells to
test new drugs; This can help guarantee
to generate cells and tissues that can
be used for cell based therapy.
3 Treat diseases like spinal cord injuries,
burns, heart diseases, diabetes,
osteoarthritis, macular degeneration,
and rheumatoid arthritis.
What we found? Macro-trend 4: Technology
- Biotechnology and Non-Biotechnology
Biotechnology: reducing
rates of infectious
diseases.
Top trend in biotechnology are
stem cell therapies and
personalized medicines.

11. 1 Federal Law: HIPPA (Healthcare Insurance
