Looking back on the healthcare industry over the last 25 years

Remember the days when all patient details and notes were recorded on paper and when artificial intelligence wasn’t lurking in the shadows contemplating how it can take our jobs make our jobs easier?

Healthcare Brew remembers.

Patients now have “portals” with all their data and vitals. The Affordable Care Act has given millions of people in the US access to healthcare. A pandemic upended our society while also ushering in innovative medical research that saved lives.

Which is why we, alongside Morning Brew’s other professional publications, are embarking on the ambitious task of highlighting some big moments from the last 25 years. Because in order to understand the present and future, we need to have a clear understanding of the past.

But beyond those tectonic moments, we’re also exploring how developments in areas of importance for the industry—like the rise of health equity, the introduction of robotics, and the growing threat of cybersecurity—have impacted the business of healthcare.

So join us as we take a nostalgic stroll down memory lane, stopping along the way to examine the last quarter-century of changes in a way that only healthcare pros know how: with meticulous, highly detailed, thoroughly researched reporting.
