Abstract

This IDC Tech Buyer Presentation discusses the Canadian regionalization of IDC FutureScape: Worldwide Healthcare Industry 2023 Predictions (IDC #US48587222, October 2022). It provides a detailed perspective on the forces shaping business and the Canadian healthcare market over the next several years. Each prediction is presented based on the timeline projection, complexity assessment, and organizational impact on the "mainstream" market.

Technological advances are moving faster than the Canadian healthcare system's ability to use them. Canadian healthcare organizations are struggling with issues centered on the workforce, capacity, and wait times. There is also an overarching need for health equity. Over the past decade, and particularly since COVID-19, the system has begun to show signs of breaking down," says Mark Schrutt, strategic advisor, Public Sector and Innovation research, IDC Canada.

The technologies highlighted in this presentation can be part of the solution:

• Integrated care and access to services, including those delivered remotely
• Hybrid work environment, although there is a need to complement care with local and at-home support
• AI, robotics, and data-driven command centres
