Neurosciences
However, leaders of healthcare organizations must overcome multiple obstacles in order to succeed in this environment. Among the challenges, the following are viewed by many to be the most difficult:
- Physician shortages in key neuroscience specialties/subspecialties.
- Blurring of boundaries among specialties (e.g., interventional radiology, neurosurgery) and the resulting competition among specialists.
- Development of expertise and processes to coordinate across the care continuum to deliver the services that meet advancing standards in neuroscience and achieve the optimal patient outcome.
- Greater competition among providers to be the organization of choice for the most profitable neuroscience services.
- Evaluation of investments in neuroscience-related technology, facilities, programs, and services.
