| In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, provider organizations saw a steady decrease in non-emergency-related patient volumes. While those levels are starting to increase back to pre-pandemic numbers, in 2021 there was still a 5% decrease in inpatient volume compared to 2019.

• Two major trends contributing to this increase
• The shift in sites of care will continue but soften
• Emergency departments will see an increase in volume this year alone
• And more! |
