Baker McKenzie recently published its Simplifying Business in a Complex World series in partnership with Acuris. The reports analyse insights from, among others, senior healthcare executives across the Asia Pacific region. The respondents believe that doing business in healthcare is becoming more complex, where the biggest macro economic challenges and complexities are thought to be:
- compliance and adapting to new or changing regulations;
- environmental threats from natural disasters impacting production and placing a strain on limited healthcare resources; and
- internally driven innovation.
Nearly all respondents think that healthcare will see major technological disruption in the next two years and the major focus areas currently are:
- regulatory change;
- business systems innovation; and optimising tax structures.
The reports highlight that the healthcare industry is undergoing a period of rapid change, which presents challenges but also opportunities. With this in mind, we have recapped on some of the key legal developments that have affected Australian healthcare businesses over the past 12 months and will continue to do so moving forward.
