After spending years on adapting to the Affordable Care Act, the new policy changes, especially the `repeal and replace' of Obamacare will set in motion a new industry-wide shift. However, the push to value-based care is expected to continue. Various innovative means of healthcare delivery, like virtual care, will drive the future of value-based care.With a significant portion of the consumers being active digital health adopters, the demand for virtual care has been on a steady rise. Health systems are beginning to focus on change management, provider engagement, and making a cultural shift toward embracing virtual care and other digital health technologies. For instance, virtual reality, which has the potential to revolutionize healthcare, is on its way to come of age. From its usage in exposure therapy and virtual robotic surgery to helping conquer phobias, virtual reality has wide-ranging applications in healthcare.While the healthcare industry has been known to lag behind other sectors when it comes to cutting-edge technology adoption, 2017 will be the year emerging technologies, including drones and artificial intelligence, make their presence felt in healthcare. In addition to the new policy driven changes, novel technologies will force healthcare organizations to rethink their business models, operations, workforce needs, and cybersecurity risks. This calls for the need to partner with enterprises that have the technology clout to meet healthcare's dynamic needs. At this juncture, to help change the face of healthcare, CIOReview brings a special edition on healthcare technology solution providers that are on top of their game.We hope the valuable insights from industry thought-leaders and the innovative solutions from leading companies featured in this edition will help you in your endeavors today, and tomorrow.Jeevan George Managing Editoreditor@cioreview.comEditorialUnlocking Potential Opportunities
