Description
In this session, we’ll bring together insights from our Fall 2025 VPF + CEO Forums —highlighting what healthcare executives discussed during their in-person gatherings with peers. We’ll also share our perspective on the cross-cutting themes and their implications for industry organizations that partner with leading health systems.
Session Themes
Policy risk is accelerating: Medicaid reform and related policy shifts are forcing finance leaders to move earlier and plan for volatility, not recovery.
AI is the top priority—with uneven execution: Investment remains strong, but leaders differ on readiness, ownership, and where AI delivers real impact.
Efficiency beats experience spend: Budget dollars are shifting away from digital front-door tools toward automation and internal productivity.
Outsourcing expectations are rising: Finance leaders want partners that bring flexibility, transparency, and cultural alignment—not just lower costs.
Risk definitions are changing: Escalating malpractice exposure and nonprofit scrutiny are reshaping how CFOs evaluate sustainability and essentiality.
