How has healthcare changed overtime?

Four questions ask for forecasts and one asks for a comparison, which makes the comparison the load-bearing section: without it the predictions are opinion. Do the comparison concretely, on a small number of things that can be described in both states. Telehealth is the clearest, moving from a marginal service constrained by reimbursement and licensure to a mainstream one when those constraints were temporarily lifted, and its subsequent partial retreat is itself informative. Scope of practice is another, since emergency waivers expanded what several professions could do; supply chains, workforce attrition, hospital finances and the location of care are all describable in the same way. Each of those can be described in both states with a date attached, which is what makes the comparison evidence rather than recollection. Choose three or four and track them consistently through the whole paper. Supply chains, workforce attrition, hospital finances and the location of care all work the same way.

The question of whether things return to normal then has an answerable form rather than a rhetorical one, and the discriminator is whether a change was structural or emergency. A change that required a temporary waiver reverts when the waiver lapses unless the underlying rule is amended; a change that involved capital investment, retraining or a shift in patient expectation is much stickier. Sort your examples into those two categories and the prediction sections write themselves, because you are extrapolating a mechanism rather than a mood. Be careful with sources: this is a fast-moving topic, so date every claim, prefer analyses that cover a defined period, and say explicitly what vantage point your paper is written from. A prediction is only assessable if the reader knows when it was made. Undated claims on this subject age badly, and a marker reading the paper later cannot tell whether you were right or merely early.
