The past year has challenged hospitals and health systems in the U.S. The COVID-19 pandemic and macroeconomic pressures brought a flood of operational challenges for healthcare provider organizations. And most of the financial relief offered by the government has run dry. Industry leaders believe that these challenges will likely continue into 2023. Fierce Healthcare's Dave Muoio chats with Lisa Goldstein, senior vice president at the consulting firm Kaufman Hall, about what hospital leaders will need to focus on in the new year.

Also in this episode, Anastassia Gliadkovskaya interviews Mark Friedberg, the senior vice president of performance measurement and improvement at Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts. They discuss alternatives to the fee-for-service payment model like values-based care.
