The Forecast Behind Aging Demand

In this episode of Edge Perspectives, host Tori Richie is joined by Vizient experts Joshua Aaker and Katherine Zentner to explore how demographic shifts, particularly an aging population, are shaping cardiovascular and neurosciences service line demand. Drawing on insights from the 2025 Impact of Change® forecast, the discussion highlights care stratification, team-based models, and new approaches to programmatic design that health systems are using to address growing utilization and acuity. The conversation also underscores how traditional service line models must evolve to meet both current pressures and future patient needs.
