Making Quality
Work for You

Unlock the full potential of your quality strategy by aligning goals, data, and action.


When quality efforts fall short of the target, it might be they weren’t fully integrated into care delivery or operations. Learn how to turn measurement into momentum, to drive results that matter to your organization and to the people you serve.

Session Topics:
Quality Measurement, HEDIS, Data Quality, Credentialing, Value-Based Care, Managing Chronic Conditions, Digital Quality, Utilization Management

Integrated, Person-
Centered Care

Break down silos to deliver care that reflects the whole person.


Disconnected systems leave gaps in care, especially for people with chronic or complex needs.

Dig into real-world models that connect clinical, behavioral and social supports to improve outcomes across settings.

Session Topics:
Care Integration, Whole-Person Health, Behavioral Health, Health Equity, Social Determinants of Health, Managing Chronic Conditions, Maternal Health & Birth Outcomes, Virtual/Hybrid Care

Population Health
in Practice

Lead smarter strategies to improve health at scale.

Session Topics:
Population Health, Health Equity, Social Determinants of Health, Quality Improvement, Managing Chronic Conditions, Behavioral Health, Maternal Health & Birth Outcomes

Powering Quality With
Digital Transformation

Build a modern quality ecosystem designed for efficiency, accuracy and impact.


Legacy systems can create reporting burdens and delay the insights needed for real-time improvement. See how digital measures, FHIR® and real-time results can streamline quality and power smarter care. 

Session Topics:
Digital Quality, Data Quality, Quality Measurement, HEDIS, Value-Based Care

Innovation, AI and the
Future of Quality

Lean into innovation as AI and emerging tech shape health care.


As innovation accelerates, health care needs clear guardrails, smart adoption and a focus on outcomes that truly matter to patients. Get inside real use cases where innovation is driving better decisions, stronger systems and higher-quality care.   

Session Topics:
Artificial Intelligence, Digital Quality, Virtual/Hybrid Care

Aligning Accountability and Value-Based Care

Build stronger partnerships that align payment and performance.


Without aligned goals and shared data, value-based care can’t deliver on its promise.
