Driving Economic Sustainability in Healthcare’s Digital Age

Tuesday, 4/14 at 11:20 – 12:00 PM | Grand K (East Tower – Ballroom Level) 

Shrinking fee-for-service margins, contracting Medicaid enrollment and reimbursements, and increasing payer demands are forcing health systems to rethink what it takes to achieve economic sustainability. In today’s digital age, enterprise-level, multi-source data, AI-enabled tooling, and actionable analytics have become essential for navigating this turbulent landscape. This panel brings together leaders and innovators from enterprise-level health systems to explore how to adopt payer-like strategies—managing utilization, costs, care, and outcomes—to deliver high-quality, high-efficiency care regardless of the level of risk.  

The discussion will highlight how advanced data capabilities become actionable when paired with payer-aligned approaches to utilization management, care redesign, and clinical optimization that strengthen both outcomes and financial resilience. Attendees will hear real-world stories from organizations leveraging actionable datasets and payer-like approaches to deliver lasting value in a rapidly changing healthcare economy: 

• Translate enterprise insights into strategic initiatives that leverage advanced tools—from AI to agentic workflows—to improve financial resilience and care delivery. 
• Contain costs and optimize operations amid government contract-related losses.
• Use data-driven strategies to manage at-risk populations during Medicaid contraction.
• Foster payer-provider collaboration and network-level engagement to deliver sustainable, high-quality care.
