Health Systems Embrace New Strategies to Navigate Disruptions
Pharmacy Forecast Highlights Financial, Technological, and Climate Challenges
藥房預測突顯財務、技術和氣候挑戰
LAS VEGAS, Dec. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Health systems are weighing new strategies as they confront rapidly mounting challenges, including rising uncompensated care and risks related to cybersecurity and climate change, according to a report released today at the ASHP Midyear Clinical Meeting & Exhibition.
拉斯維加斯，2025年12月9日/PRNewswire/-- 根據今天在ASHP年中臨床會議和展覽上發佈的一份報告，衛生系統在面對迅速增加的挑戰時正在權衡新的策略，這些挑戰包括不斷上升的無償護理以及與網絡安全和氣候變化相關的風險。
The 2026 ASHP/ASHP Foundation Pharmacy Forecast, built on the collective insight of nearly 300 pharmacy leaders, anticipates major shifts in the 340B Drug Pricing Program and prescription benefit management and increasing exposure to cyber- and climate-related disruptions.
《2026年ASHP/ASHP基金會藥房預測》基於近300名藥房領導者的集體見解，預計340B藥品定價計劃和處方福利管理將發生重大轉變，並且對網絡和氣候相關中斷的暴露程度增加。
The annual Pharmacy Forecast, which surfaces trends over the next five years, offers strategic recommendations to help health systems adapt through a nimble planning process.
年度藥房預測揭示了未來五年的趨勢，提供了戰略性建議，以幫助衛生系統通過靈活的規劃流程進行適應。
"Pharmacy leaders are uniquely positioned to bring solutions to their organizations as we prepare for disruptions that will define the healthcare system of the future," said ASHP CEO Paul W. Abramowitz, PharmD, ScD (Hon), FASHP. "This year's Pharmacy Forecast helps translate emerging opportunities into actionable strategies to safeguard patients, stabilize finances, and strengthen health systems."
「隨着我們爲未來的醫療保健系統定義性的中斷做準備，藥房領導者處於獨特的位置，可以爲他們的組織提供解決方案，」 ASHP首席執行官Paul W. Abramowitz，藥學博士，理學榮譽博士，FASHP表示。「今年的藥房預測有助於將新興機會轉化爲可行的戰略，以保護患者，穩定財務並加強衛生系統。」
The report examines financial pressures, noting that growing scrutiny of traditional pharmacy benefit managers and changing reimbursement models are reshaping how health systems manage costs and deliver care. Surveyed leaders expect many health systems to explore creating their own pharmacy benefit managers or partnering with organizations that provide more transparency. More than half indicated health systems will adjust where and how infusion services are delivered, as Medicare and 340B policies contribute to likely rises in uncompensated care.
該報告審查了財務壓力，指出傳統藥品福利管理機構面臨的日益嚴格的審查以及不斷變化的報銷模式正在重塑衛生系統管理成本和提供護理的方式。接受調查的領導者預計，許多衛生系統將探索創建自己的藥品福利管理者或與提供更多透明度的組織合作。超過一半的人表示，由於Medicare和340B政策的影響，衛生系統將調整輸液服務的交付地點和方式，這可能導致無償護理的增加。
The Pharmacy Forecast also points to cybersecurity risks that could impact medication access. Two-thirds of participants responded that a cyberattack could disrupt drug delivery nationwide. The report authors urge collaboration among health systems, manufacturers, and federal agencies to improve cybersecurity, transparency, and redundancy across the supply chain.
藥房預測還指出了可能影響藥品獲取的網絡安全風險。三分之二的參與者回應稱，一次網絡攻擊可能會擾亂全國範圍內的藥品供應。報告作者敦促衛生系統、製造商和聯邦機構之間加強合作，以改善供應鏈中的網絡安全、透明度和冗餘性。
Like cyber threats, climate-related events pose growing risks to continuity of care. Nearly three-quarters of experts anticipate weather-driven disruptions to hospitals and supply chains, signaling urgency to build more resilient health-system infrastructure. A companion AJHP editorial underscores the growing health and operational impacts of climate change and urges pharmacy leaders to take an active role in building more sustainable, climate-resilient health systems.
與網絡威脅一樣，氣候相關事件對醫療服務的連續性構成了越來越大的風險。近四分之三的專家預計天氣驅動的醫院和供應鏈中斷將發生，表明迫切需要建立更具彈性的衛生系統基礎設施。一篇配套的AJHP社論強調了氣候變化對健康和運營影響的加劇，並敦促藥房領導者在構建更可持續、氣候適應性強的衛生系統方面發揮積極作用。
"This year's Pharmacy Forecast highlights just how quickly the ground is shifting for hospitals and health systems," said Joseph DiPiro, PharmD, FCCP, FAAAS, professor emeritus, School of Pharmacy, Virginia Commonwealth University, and editor of the Pharmacy Forecast. "The report helps pharmacy leaders turn emerging risks across areas of policy, finance, technology, supply chain, and the environment into opportunities for improvement and resilience."
「今年的藥房預測突顯了醫院和衛生系統的地基變化有多快，」弗吉尼亞聯邦大學藥學院名譽教授、藥房預測編輯Joseph DiPiro表示。「該報告幫助藥房領導人將政策、財務、技術、供應鏈和環境等領域的新興風險轉化爲改進和增強韌性的機會。」
Other recommendations for healthcare leaders:
針對醫療衛生領導者的其他建議：
- Strengthen financial resilience through scenario planning. Pharmacy leaders should develop models that anticipate shifts in drug reimbursement, 340B policy, and payment reform, allowing for quicker adaptation to revenue changes.
- Build supply chain resilience. Pharmacy leaders are urged to move beyond cost-only decision-making and pursue partnerships and system-wide strategies that strengthen domestic production and improve supply chain transparency.
- Advance digital transformation and AI readiness. Health systems should prepare the pharmacy workforce to embrace new technology to serve as the bridge between digital health and the patient experience.
- Support therapeutic advances and sustain prevention programs. Leaders must plan for the clinical, financial, and operational implications of new therapies like theranostics and GLP-1s, while also protecting vaccine uptake and access for vulnerable populations.
- Integrate sustainability into core planning. Health systems should measure and reduce emissions, minimize reliance on disposables, and treat resilience and decarbonization as strategic imperatives, not optional projects.
- Transform safety strategies. Leaders are encouraged to shift from reactive responses to proactive safety practices, adopt predictive surveillance, and incorporate human-factors engineering.
- 通過情景規劃加強財務韌性。藥學領導者應開發預測藥物報銷、340B政策和支付改革變化的模型，以便更快適應收入變化。
- 建立供應鏈韌性。藥學領導者被敦促超越僅以成本爲導向的決策，追求加強國內生產和提高供應鏈透明度的合作及全系統策略。
- 推進數字化轉型和人工智能準備。衛生系統應爲藥房勞動力做好準備，擁抱新技術，成爲數字健康與患者體驗之間的橋樑。
- 支持治療進展並持續開展預防項目。領導者必須規劃新療法（如治療診斷學和GLP-1s）在臨床、財務和運營方面的影響，同時保護弱勢群體的疫苗接種率和可及性。
- 將可持續性納入核心規劃。衛生系統應衡量並減少排放，儘量減少對一次性用品的依賴，並將韌性和脫碳視爲戰略要務，而非可選項目。
- 轉變安全策略。鼓勵領導者從被動應對轉向主動安全實踐，採用預測性監控，並結合人因工程學。
"Many of the report's insights also align directly with recent ASHP summits on artificial intelligence and advanced therapeutics, including the newly established ASHP Center for Next-Generation Therapeutics," Abramowitz added.
Abramowitz補充道：「報告中的許多見解也直接與最近關於人工智能和先進治療學的ASHP峰會保持一致，包括新成立的ASHP下一代治療中心。」
