Healthcare organizations around the world are looking to evolve care models, adopt new technologies, improve workforce experiences, and meet the increasing expectations of the communities they serve. At the same time, these organizations are facing pressures to increase service quality and volume amid spending constraints, tougher regulation, and workforce shortages. These challenges are forcing healthcare leaders and their teams to think and work differently, and ask questions such as:
- How can we increase our operational resilience and efficiency?
- How can we use technology to help improve patient experiences and adapt to pressures?
- How can our organization transform, and support staff given increasing pressures and change?
- How can we improve workforce engagement while addressing organizational challenges

KPMG firms have worked with healthcare organizations and systems around the world to help them become operationally excellent, whether the motivation is to help improve quality, patient and staff satisfaction, or aim to reduce costs through organization-wide transformation.
