The Economic Index, decoded

On this episode of Edge Perspectives, host Tori Richie, Associate Principal, sits down with Sushma Narra, Senior Associate, and Brian Esser, VP, Intelligence, to unpack the fourth iteration of the Vizient Economic Index. They reveal why strategy must be local, how labor availability now rivals population growth, and what a flatter, shrinking market map demands of revenue quality, cost control, and capacity—plus one system outperforming a deteriorating market.   Note to our listeners: Sg2 Perspectives was recently renamed Edge Perspectives. Same great hosts, same great content, expanding to cover data-driven market intelligence, quality and operations insights from health care provider leaders. There is no action needed for you to keep this podcast in your subscriptions and feeds. But you will see a new logo and a new name. We are always excited to get ideas and feedback from our listeners.
