In today’s highly competitive healthcare environment, hospitals and health systems are under increasing pressure to grow and capture market share while managing cost pressures and shifting consumer demands. Strategic service line expansion, combined with targeted market capture initiatives, can drive both revenue growth and improved patient outcomes. However, hospitals face significant challenges, including resource allocation, competition from emerging care models, and the need to align growth strategies with value-based care principles.
This Session will Examine:
- Strategic Planning for Service Line Expansion Successful service line expansion requires a deep understanding of market demand, population health needs, and the competitive landscape. Identify the most profitable and high-demand specialties while aligning growth strategy with overall organizational goals.

Collaborations with technology firms or retail health providers can also drive growth and
innovation. - Balancing Service Line Expansion with Financial Sustainability Expanding service lines requires significant financial investment in new infrastructure, technology, and staffing. Hospitals must balance these growth efforts with the need to maintain financial sustainability and optimize margins.
