Here’s What You Missed: 4 Takeaways from Aggregate 2025

Arcadia’s flagship user conference, Aggregate 2025, took place from October 14-16, 2025, and represented one of our largest showings yet. Over 250 attendees representing more than 50 organizations and a dozen partners convened in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The three-day event featured intensive training, workflow consulting, peer knowledge exchange, and real-world examples of innovation in action — including the event’s first ever AI Showcase. Customers and partners alike demonstrated how data and artificial intelligence are already transforming care delivery, operational efficiency, and patient outcomes.
Here are four big takeaways from this year’s event:
1. Artificial Intelligence (AI) Integration is Happening Now, and Mastering it is an Art
The role of Artificial Intelligence in healthcare isn’t some far-off promise. It’s happening now. And it was on display across many sessions and parts of the Aggregate agenda, including:
- Leading technology organizations in healthcare like AWS, Atropos, and Socially Determined demonstrated AI-powered solutions including predictive analytics, intelligent workflow automation, and real-world deployments delivering measurable outcomes.
- Baptist Health, Arkansas’ largest and most comprehensive not-for-profit healthcare organization, shared how they are leveraging Arcadia’s AI tools to transform data access, enable technical and non-technical teams to ask novel, data-driven questions, and bridge the gap between data complexity and business agility.
- In one of the most forward-looking breakout sessions, leaders from Intermountain Health and Arcadia explored how artificial intelligence can bring clinical process maps (CPMs) into the modern era. These foundational tools — used to standardize care delivery — are often time-consuming to create and hard to operationalize. The session detailed how AI can automate CPM development, integrate decision support into clinician workflows, and deliver measurable cost savings for health systems.
- Arcadia announced significant investments in artificial intelligence, expanding research and development to unlock new ways AI can power innovation across the healthcare enterprise. New care management capabilities powered by AI were also announced.
However, data and technology alone won’t transform healthcare. It’s the blend of science and art, including insight, intuition, and intelligent systems, that will make healthcare truly sustainable.
That’s why Arcadia unveiled a new education resource, “The Art of AI: Blending Innovation with Know-How in Healthcare.” The Art of AI is about empowering people, not replacing them. It’s about giving clinicians, analysts, and care teams the right insights at the right time so they can focus on what matters most: better outcomes and healthier communities.
2. Stagnation is Detrimental, and Doing Nothing is Not an Option
Arcadia’s 2025 product roadmap update drove home a simple truth: doing nothing isn’t an option. Costs are climbing, disparities persist, and everyone in healthcare is being asked to do more with less. Progress demands movement.
Modernized data infrastructure and AI-assisted workflows will be the future of healthcare. From contracting to benchmarking and clinical documentation to provider performance, healthcare organizations that grow and thrive in the years to come will leverage technology that makes people more productive, not more overwhelmed.
Arcadia also announced a new partnership with Surescripts®, the nation’s leading health intelligence network, to integrate its First-Fill Abandonment solution into Arcadia’s platform. This capability gives providers early insights about patient access to prescriptions when a medication goes unfilled, enabling care managers with faster and more accurate data to meaningfully address care gaps and better support value-based care performance.
Whether you’re in analytics, care coordination, or network management, it’s time to get serious about operational transformation because standing still isn’t neutral anymore — it’s going backward.
3. Look to Industry Leaders for Guidance and Inspiration
During periods of change when action feels difficult or overwhelming, we should look to the organizations who are trying, learning, and leading the adoption of new technology. At Arcadia, we are continually impressed by the innovation, creativity, and compassion of our customers, and how they leverage analytics to put patients first.
This year at Aggregate, Arcadia hosted our first ever Arcadia Awards to celebrate organizations pushing healthcare forward. Awards spanned innovation, care transformation, performance improvement, sustainability, and more.
Here are the winners:
Innovation in Action Winner: Vanderbilt Health Affiliated Network
The transitions team at Vanderbilt Health Affiliated Network recognized that delayed outreach after discharge caused missed appointments and higher readmissions. Their manual process was inconsistent and inefficient.
By reimagining the workflow with Arcadia, they introduced automated tracking, smarter outreach prioritization, and visibility into scheduling gaps. Even early on, this streamlined operations and improved patient satisfaction, with potential to expand to other transition points.

Champions for Change Winner: Integrated Health Partners of Southern California (IHP)
A value-based care organization managing a large Medicaid population, IHP sought to overcome fragmented systems and delayed reporting. By partnering with Arcadia, they unified EMR, claims, lab, and registry data into a single platform and expanded care management programs.
Results included 20–30 percentage-point improvements on key HEDIS metrics, over $2M in annual incentives, and 50,000 care gaps closed per year. This demonstrates a sustainable pathway for delivering whole-person care to low-income populations.

Transformational Excellence Winner: Johns Hopkins All Children’s Care Network
A pediatric clinically integrated network, Johns Hopkins All Children’s Care Network faced the challenge of entering value-based care in a market where pediatric contracting was largely uncharted. The organization needed to quickly establish a strong data platform and care management infrastructure to succeed in both quality performance and cost savings.
Over the past two years, the network rolled out Arcadia across its practices, implemented custom dashboards, and introduced incentive scorecards to engage clinicians with real-time performance insights. Membership grew from 57,000 to more than 75,000 patients, with projections to surpass 150,000. The network achieved $3M in shared savings, improved Medicaid performance, and met all commercial quality gap requirements.

Meaningful Momentum Winner: Community Care Cooperative (C3)
A federally qualified health center network, C3 recognized a major barrier to care in its community: limited access to affordable pharmacies, particularly in areas known as “pharmacy deserts.” Many patients were unable to obtain essential medications consistently, leading to gaps in treatment and unnecessary complications.
To address this challenge, the organization implemented a 340B program that enabled health centers to open and operate their own pharmacies. This approach not only expanded access but also generated sustainable revenue to reinvest in patient care.
These organizations remind us that transformation isn’t theoretical. It’s happening in the real world, and it’s achievable when collaboration, technology, and courage intersect.

4. Keep Your Eye on the Future of Healthcare Intelligence
In their closing keynote, Arcadia’s President and CEO, Michael Meucci, and Arcadia’s Chief Strategy Officer, Aneesh Chopra, brought an important reminder: we have the ingredients to create healthcare’s power formula.
Given the pressing reality that U.S. healthcare spending — now at 17% of GDP — is unsustainable, speakers outlined the scale of change required to maintain or reduce costs. Meucci noted that achieving parity with other developed nations would demand nearly 20% reductions in spending by mid-century. This challenge sets the stage for a call to accelerate innovation grounded in open data, new incentives, and cross-sector collaboration.
Chopra revisited a “power formula” for transformation — combining information liberation, aligned incentives, and targeted investment to create “rocket fuel for innovation.” This vision came to life through the CMS Aligned Network, where 21 data networks, 11 health systems, and 4 payers committed to empowering real-time, secure data exchange. Complementary efforts like the Rural Healthcare Transformation Framework aim to extend these benefits to underserved communities through infrastructure and technology investments.
The session closed with the launch of the Arcadia Research Collaborative, a new initiative to accelerate clinical research, foster responsible AI development, and unite payers, providers, and life sciences organizations around shared data and discovery. Founding membership offers early access to Arcadia’s multi-source dataset, co-development opportunities, and national recognition — marking a pivotal step toward building the future of healthcare intelligence.
