Salt Lake City, UT Market Overview
HealthLeaders Interstudy, August 2011, Pages: 42
The Salt Lake City region is one of the youngest, healthiest markets in the United States, characterized by large families and a conservative, business-oriented culture. We predict little change in this landscape over the near term. No challengers appear to be positioning for a run at Intermountain. Legislators and state regulators are focused on enacting progressive healthcare reform, largely in a desire to take care of it themselves rather than have the federal government force reform upon the state. At the same time, state officials have filed a waiver request to convert Utah’s Medicaid program to an accountable care organization model, and the progress of building a clinical health information exchange for all stakeholders is moving forward steadily.
