Strategy Starts With Forecasting

In this episode of Edge Perspectives, host Trevor DaRin is joined by Vizient experts Karyl Kopaskie, PhD, and Danni Park to unpack the art and science behind Vizient’s 10-year demand forecast, the Impact of Change®. They explore the expert-driven process, how the forecast has evolved over 25 years, and the “why” behind the numbers that help members make strategic decisions. Using real-world examples—from post-acute care to women’s health—they highlight how clinical insights, technology trends and policy signals shape Vizient’s trusted projections. Whether you're new to forecasting or a long-time user, this episode offers a behind-the-scenes look at what makes the forecast such a powerful strategic tool.
