In this episode of Sg2 Perspectives, host Trevor DaRin is joined by Sg2 experts Karyl Kopaskie, PhD, and Danni Park to unpack the art and science behind Sg2’s 10-year demand forecast, the Impact of Change®. They explore the expert-driven process, how the forecast has evolved over 25 years, and the “why” behind the numbers that help members make strategic decisions. Using real-world examples—from post-acute care to women’s health—they highlight how clinical insights, technology trends and policy signals shape Sg2’s trusted projections. Whether you're new to forecasting or a long-time user, this episode offers a behind-the-scenes look at what makes the forecast such a powerful strategic tool.
