THMA-Tegria research surveyed senior health system executives and interviewed Chief Financial Officers to understand how systems are defining, governing, and investing in access strategy. The headline finding: 82% now call access a strategic pillar, but most still can't solve basic appointment availability.

In this episode, Wes Adams, Managing Director of Industry Custom Services at THMA, walks us through where the alignment breaks down — from "priority fog" across the C-suite, to the fact that only 6% of systems involve finance in operationalizing access, to how tightening ROI timelines are reshaping where capital flows and where it doesn't.

We dig into how St. Charles Health System, a four-hospital not-for-profit in Central Oregon and the sole major provider across a 32,000-square-mile service area, went from seven Medicare Advantage payers down to one and then turned a twenty-year track record of clinical quality into a negotiating tool that cut cancer treatment authorization times from weeks to a single day.

Matt Swafford, CFO, and Mark Hallett, Chief Clinical Officer, walk us through the decision to terminate contracts with six national MA payers, how they used NCCN concordance rates to negotiate instant authorization with PacificSource, and the CFO-CCO partnership model that enabled it all.

2026 Summit Recap: Service Line Rationalization, Scenario Planning, and AI

In this episode of The Strategy Catalyst Dispatch, we recap the 2026 Strategy Catalyst Summit, where more than 75 strategy leaders from nearly 50 health systems spent two days working through some of the hardest questions in health system strategy right now.

Featuring perspectives from members and session facilitators at the summit, we focus on three themes: what leaders in the room said about breaking through on service line rationalization, what happened when we put strategy teams through a live scenario planning exercise and asked them to confront how prepared they actually are, and the tension between building AI governance structures and maintaining the speed to get past the pilot phase.

Watch our highlight reel from the summit here. And for more on the content referenced in this episode, read our analysis in The Strategist here and check out our Stress Test Scenario Planning Guide here.
