In 2024, the medical industry faces severe financial challenges, with medical costs expected to rise to 7%. This rise is primarily driven by labor shortages, rising drug prices and inflation (Healthcare Finance News). Labor shortages are particularly acute, with the U.S. needing 1.1 million more registered nurses and a projected shortage of 54,100 to 139,000 physicians by 2033, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (MedCity News).


To combat these cost pressures, many healthcare organizations are exploring outsourcing and technology solutions. Outsourcing some back-office functions, such as revenue cycle, billing, claims and financial management, to lower-cost overseas markets is a common strategy. For example, some medical institutions have significantly reduced operating costs by outsourcing non-core operations and can focus more resources on the provision of core medical services (MedCity News) (Healthcare Finance News).


The application of AI and automation technology is also an effective way to reduce costs. By automating routine administrative tasks, healthcare organizations can reduce the investment in human resources while increasing work efficiency. For example, automated systems can handle large volumes of billing and claims work, reducing human error and shortening processing times, thereby increasing the efficiency of the entire healthcare system (Deloitte United States) (Healthcare Finance News).


As a medical product exporter, we should pay attention to these technological and market changes and provide customized technical solutions and services to medical institutions. By exporting advanced automation equipment and AI systems, we can help customers cope with cost pressures and improve operational efficiency and service quality. At the same time, we should closely track demand changes in the global market and adjust product and service strategies in a timely manner (MedCity News).


Healthcare organizations are also focusing on employee well-being and mental health to attract and retain key clinical personnel. By improving employee benefits packages, providing mental health support, and creating a more engaging work environment, healthcare organizations can reduce employee burnout and increase employee satisfaction and retention. For example, some hospitals have begun to provide employees with flexible work arrangements, career development opportunities and mental health services to improve employee job satisfaction and happiness (Deloitte United States) (MedCity News).


In short, the medical industry in 2024 faces multiple challenges and opportunities. By effectively utilizing artificial intelligence technology, actively participating in mergers and acquisitions activities, and adopting a variety of strategies to deal with cost pressures, medical institutions can achieve sustainable development while maintaining high-quality services. As an exporter of medical products, we should seize this opportunity to provide innovative products and services to support the development and progress of the global medical industry.
