Change is constant in healthcare, and often that change is triggered by policy. But regulatory documents are dense, hard to understand, and time-consuming to read. Let us do the work.
Introducing Arcadia Policy Pulse: Where policy trends meet practical impact. In a new webinar series launching in 2026, our healthcare experts will help you make sense of what’s happening in healthcare policy—and what’s next.
Each quarter, we’ll pick a trending topic and break it down for you in under one hour. When big policies drop, we’ll hold Policy Pulse Pop-Ups—additional webinars on top of our quarterly cadence—to get you the insights fast.
Our first Policy Pulse webinar begins in January 2026 with a deep dive into CMMI’s newest payment model. Details and registration below. When you sign up, we’ll send you save-the-dates for additional Policy Pulse webinars that we have planned throughout the year:
You’ll also receive alerts whenever we schedule a Policy Pulse Pop-Up.
CMS’ new ACCESS Model launches a decade-long test of outcome-aligned payments in Original Medicare, relying on remote monitoring, digital care, and interoperable data exchange to improve prevention and chronic disease management. Participation applications for the first performance year are due April 1, 2026, giving organizations limited time to understand what the model demands—and whether they’re ready.
In this session, Arcadia’s Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Luke Hansen, and Arcadia’s head of thought leadership and policy expert, Erica Everhart, will break down the model’s structure, required capabilities, and its broader signal for the future of value-based care. The discussion will cover the model’s emphasis on digital care pathways, patient-reported outcomes, and care-plan exchange through HIEs and trusted networks. We’ll also examine how ACCESS aligns with CMS’ broader interoperability push and related initiatives—such as the Rural Health Transformation Program—and what it means for both payers and providers evaluating participation.
