It’s been a year of incredible change in healthcare, and there’s no reason to expect 2024 to be any different.
The industry has plenty of newcomers, both in terms of decision-makers leading advancements and companies seeking to upset the status quo or take a piece of the pie. And rapid developments in artificial intelligence could provoke a tectonic shift in technology’s ability to simplify tasks and solve problems.
It’s an exciting time to be journalists covering the industry. And for that reason, Modern Healthcare is evolving in 2024 too.
We have beefed up our newsroom in the past few months to deepen our reporting in key areas. Our website, ModernHealthcare.com, will continue to bring you the breaking news, trend stories, newsmaker interviews, analysis and thought leadership that are our hallmarks, allowing you to keep abreast of the latest happenings and what they mean for you. Our magazine will switch to monthly production with the January issue, highlighting some of our best stories. The magazine will be published on the second Monday of every month; a digital edition will be issued that day as well.
We also are updating our awards and recognition programs to spotlight more of the individuals making a difference in healthcare. The first big change: Our Emerging Leaders awards have been renamed 40 Under 40 so we can recognize more of the up-and-comers within organizations. The class of 2024 will be announced Feb. 12 online and in print.
We have a full slate of events planned for next year, tackling the emerging issues for professionals working in all parts of the industry—hospitals, health systems and other care providers, insurers, tech firms, vendors and suppliers, among others. Our first event in May, in Chicago, will focus on the industry’s growth opportunities.
And finally, we have expanded our Data & Insights to provide data and analytics on hospital financials, staffing and compensation, quality and safety, and mergers and acquisitions. Soon we will incorporate information on the post-acute sector.
As I said at the outset, 2024 is going to be quite a year for this industry. Modern Healthcare is ready. I hope you’ll move through the year with us by your side.
