The next 18 months will bring reimbursement volatility, regulatory tightening, and payer shifts that directly impact financial risk, operational exposure, and the speed at which health systems must adapt. This special guest keynote will offer clarity on what policy and funding changes are coming, where the real risks lie, and how to prepare organizations for the change ahead. Connecting national and state signals to practical implications for margin, workforce, digital investment, and governance, this session establishes a shared strategic baseline for the event – grounding every conversation in what matters most: mitigating risk and leading change effectively.

Health systems are under intensifying pressure to restore margin while navigating labor volatility, regulatory uncertainty, shifting payer dynamics, rising consumer expectations, and the operational impact of digital transformation. This opening panel brings together leaders who are delivering real results – reducing financial risk, improving labor productivity, strengthening throughput, growing strategic volume, and scaling new care models. They will discuss what is actually working, what no longer does, and what we must prioritize to stabilize performance. Setting the strategic tone for the day, this session is about clear direction, practical lessons, and the leadership mindset needed for sustainable transformation.

AI is reshaping clinical, operational, and financial workflows – but impact varies widely, and the stakes for getting it wrong are high. In this fireside chat, health system innovators who are delivering real results will share how they are using AI to reduce organizational risk, strengthen performance, and drive measurable improvement. We will discuss where AI is already creating value, what remains overhyped, and how to integrate new tools without overwhelming clinicians or destabilizing operations. Designed to support smarter decision-making, this session offers practical guidance on investment, governance, workforce readiness, and the change-management strategies that ensure AI delivers sustainable impact.
Our signature ‘Shark Tank’ session provides each solution provider with an opportunity to deliver a short pitch, explaining why they are here and how their services can help tackle some of the sector’s ongoing challenges.

Cybersecurity is now a strategic, enterprise-wide issue – not a technical domain – and the stakes continue to rise as health systems modernize infrastructure, adopt AI, manage vendor sprawl, and face new regulatory and reimbursement pressures. This session focuses on the real risks that matter: securing AI-enabled workflows, governing third-party partners, managing cloud complexity and rising compute costs, preparing for rural cyber requirements, and reducing vulnerabilities created by workforce behavior and fragmented processes. With a clear emphasis on trust, accountability, and practical change management, attendees will take away actionable steps that strengthen resilience, support innovations, and align cybersecurity with systemwide performance.

Digital transformation only succeeds when people trust it, understand it, and feel supported through change. This keynote examines the human foundations that determine whether innovation delivers real value: digital literacy, cultural readiness, workforce confidence, communication clarity, and patient trust. How can we reduce resistance, strengthen adoption, address literacy gaps, and design technology experiences that meet real human needs? Join us for an approach that positions trust, behavior, and capability – not tools – as the true drivers of sustainable transformation and system performance.
An opportunity to network, catch up with work, or just get some rest! The HPN team will be on hand to support this in any way we can.
Evening reception including entertainment.

Digital tools only create impact when patients and clinicians genuinely want to use them. This session focuses on the real-world work of improving access, reducing friction, and designing tech-enabled care models that earn trust and deliver measurable value. Speakers will discuss what is working across hybrid care, virtual nursing, workflow redesign, and AI-supported communication – and why adoption fails without strong cultural, operational, and change-management foundations. The conversation will include patient literacy, equity, team readiness, and the shift towards consumer-grade experience expectations. Offering practical guidance that reduces risk, strengthens adoption, and enables digital journeys that improve access, experience, and outcomes.

Transforming a health system is easy to talk about but notoriously hard to sustain. This panel brings together executives who have delivered meaningful, lasting impact across AI, cloud modernization, operational redesign, and new care models. They will share the key determinants of success: overcoming change fatigue, simplifying vendor and integration complexity, strengthening clinical and operational alignment, and building trust as a leadership discipline. Our speakers will reflect on the turning points, corrective moves, and structures that have allowed transformation to survive budget cycles, leadership changes, and frontline resistance – and ultimately become part of how their organizations operate and improve.
