Value & Impact in the U.S.
In the U.S., the challenges are similar, but on a larger scale. A report by McKinsey & Company estimates that U.S. healthcare costs will rise by up to $370 billion by 2027 compared to pre-pandemic forecasts, primarily due to inflation and rising labor expenses. McKinsey & Company
Furthermore, a survey of over 7,000 nurses in the U.S. shows that only 12% do not experience burnout symptoms, highlighting the urgent need for better working conditions and planning systems. McKinsey & Company
