NAPA, Calif., Feb. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Experts and leaders at TDC Group, the nation's most trusted provider of medical malpractice insurance and risk management, today revealed their predictions for the U.S. healthcare system in What U.S. Healthcare Will Look Like in 2035.

N/a

TDC Group's 2025 predictions for how healthcare will change over the next 10 years are:

  • Nuclear malpractice verdicts will continue to cause ripple effects that threaten physicians and patients.
  • Healthcare consolidation will continue, but concerns over how consolidation increases costs and cybersecurity risks will push policymakers into further regulation.
  • Nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and alternative care models like hospital-at-home programs will be key to alleviating the continuing primary care crisis.
  • Healthcare will face a two-headed crisis, with patients increasingly mistrusting medical organizations and practitioners losing confidence in the systems meant to support them.
  • Magnified obstetric safety risks post-Dobbs will continue to cause physical trauma to patients, inflict moral injury on practitioners, and create maternity care deserts, producing disastrous effects in healthcare for years to come.
  • AI clinical decision support tools will bring benefit and risk, but it will take advancements in legislation to clarify who is liable when an AI tool errs.
  • Ambient listening tools to record patient-clinician interactions will face implementation challenges, liability risks, and uncertain outcomes.
  • Cybersecurity and HIPAA risks will be heightened by the implementation of AI.
  • Retail giants, facing serious setbacks with their healthcare clinics, will shift to partnerships and subscription models.
  • Life sciences companies' entrance to the direct-to-patient space with medications, devices, and telehealth services will raise liability risks.
  • "This examination, though certainly not exhaustive, lays out some of the most pressing issues medical professionals must address as we look ahead," said Richard E. Anderson, MD, FACP, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, The Doctors Company and TDC Group. "We are committed to helping guide medical leaders through healthcare's evolution, assisting them in making critical decisions that shape the future of patient care."
