Simplification, Standardization, or the Tolerance of Complexity

Strategic Roundtable | Computable Contracts & Transaction Efficiency Track

Dr. Kevin Schulman leads a roundtable on the tension between standardization, simplification vs. the tolerance of complexity. Where do we need to lean on AI? Where is it a crutch for a deeper systemic problem? Where will we see tech wrappers of old processes vs. entirely new processes in back office healthcare? We'll dive into his research, its impact on the industry, and we'll open the floor to debate.

Computable Contracts & Transaction Efficiency

Contract Innovation Track

Join Aneesh Chopra, Dr. Kevin Schulman, and Chris Severn on a deep dive into modular computable contracts, standard groupers, and open payment systems.

Breaking Back Office Barriers & the Advent of Agentic

Administrative Efficiency Track

Join Chris O’Dell, back office healthcare tech CEOs, and revenue cycle leaders from top health systems as they discuss the rapidly changing landscape across back office healthcare. Where do prior authorization, price estimation, patient payment, Medicaid enrollment and more land in the near future? What are the practical steps organizations can take today to prepare for the administrative transformation that's already underway?

Step Function Improvements to the Patient Experience

Patient Financial Experience Innovation Track

Are We Where We Thought We’d Be 5 Years Ago?

Fireside Chat with Seema Verma and Chris Severn

Under Seema's leadership of CMS, Trump’s first administration kicked off a barrage of payment innovation across themes like ICHRA, episodic payment, interoperability, and price transparency. In what ways has the industry risen to the occasion? Where can we still step up to deliver on the promises of regulation? How can healthcare organizations best interface with the government to see positive change now instead of waiting?

They’ll set the stage for the state of healthcare back office AI as of October 2025, exploring things like: what workflows are already deployed today with success? Where is scale imminent? How should health systems, employers and payers plan for tomorrow and not just the ambiguous future?
