Key Discussion Topics

Strategic Priorities for 2025

With so many priorities across an organization, it is hard to find time to discuss them all. This session will allow attendees to network with fellow attendees and discuss key topics facing clinical leaders in healthcare today. Attendees will rotate through topics and groups with the goal of both getting varying perspectives on key priorities but also building strong relationships with their fellow attendees.

Washington Update

This up-to-the-minute briefing will explore topics such as Medicare payment and value-based care updates, telehealth, 340B, site neutral policies, M&A activity, price transparency, and other policy areas that will help inform Leading Health System executives in future decision-making. We will also discuss what the election outcome can mean for the future of healthcare policy.
