2027 Ambulatory Care Conference: THMA Ambulatory Strategy Forum

What Sets the Ambulatory Strategy Forum Apart

• Member-Driven Content: Content is shaped by members to reflect what matters most to today's ambulatory strategy leaders — from leading the site-of-care shift and expanding access to scaling asset-light growth and adopting AI-enabled care. 

• The Right People, in the Right Room: Attendees include senior administrative and physician leaders from organizations like Emory Healthcare, AdventHealth and Northwell Health, alongside select leaders from the most innovative healthcare companies. All participants are carefully vetted and hand-selected for their ability to contribute meaningfully. 

• Purposeful Industry Participation: Industry partners are thoughtfully curated to support high-value dialogue, creating an environment focused on insight generation rather than transactional networking. 

• Provider-Validated Intelligence: Gain unfiltered perspective on how ambulatory strategy decisions are truly made and what drives sustainable adoption across health systems. 

• Relationships Built on Trust: Reception-style dinners and informal gatherings foster long-term, credible relationships that extend collaboration beyond the event itself. 

Prospective Ambulatory Strategy Forum Topics

Re-platforming ambulatory for scale advantage: How leading systems are re-platforming ambulatory from site-by-site silos into an enterprise operating system—so access, growth, and clinical excellence scale across markets through network, not construction. 

Leading the site-of-care shift: How market leaders are getting ahead of the site-of-care shift—proactively redesigning where surgery, infusion, and imaging are delivered as repricing reshapes the economics, moving early to protect margin and access before disruptors capture it. 

Efficiency as growth strategy: How leaders escape the "efficiency trap"—where AI and redesign free capacity, but the savings never reach the P&L—by deliberately converting that capacity into growth through demand-shaping, referral capture, and higher-value services. 

The asset-light growth playbook: How leaders are expanding footprint without the balance-sheet hit—using joint ventures and national operators to move fast, deciding when to partner versus build, and managing the co-investment and regulatory tradeoffs. 

The full-stack clinic: How AI is reshaping what the ambulatory clinic can do and who does the work—embedding AI as a genuine team contributor, redefining top-of-license practice, and redesigning staffing mix and workflows to match. 

Care models for complex patients: How systems are redesigning ambulatory care for complex, higher-acuity patients—building physician-led, team-based models, using value-based and risk arrangements as the economic engine, and realigning compensation to reward outcomes and value over volume.
