Seventy-three percent of healthcare CFOs said they are expected to be either “regularly or heavily involved” with critical enterprise decisions in key areas such as consumer affordability or M&A and growth, yet only 49% state they feel properly prepared to contribute to those decisions, the survey found. The survey detailed seven areas in health organizations where CFOs cite gaps between their expectations of involvement and how well-equipped they feel to do so, including consumer affordability and patient experience, mergers and acquisitions, and technology transformation decisions, such as generative and agentic AI adoption.
