2026 Annual Conference
Hub Chats: Big Ideas. Bite-Sized. Brought to You by Industry Innovators.
Located in The Hub, these fast-paced, 20-minute sessions will deliver fresh perspectives and actionable insights from leading solution providers and your health system and medical group peers.
Paul Bergeson, Chief Revenue Officer, Lightbeam Health Solutions
As CMS rolls out TEAM, LEAD, and ACCESS, physician groups face a wave of new downside-risk and outcomes-based contracts layered on top of MSSP and commercial value-based arrangements. In this 20 minute hub chat, we will walk through a pragmatic “before you commit capital, understand the game being played” playbook: actuarial intelligence to expose hidden risk, prescriptive program design to target high yield use cases, and real time monitoring to avoid year end surprises. You will see how AMGA member organizations can use this approach to prioritize the right CMS models, negotiate with confidence, and reliably generate savings rates above industry benchmarks without sacrificing quality.

Physicians in their ambulatory practices are still reliant upon manual, fax-based care management with their home health agency partners. These non-EMR integrated workflows create care delays, administrative burden on physician teams, and lost revenue opportunities for providers in the physician networks doing the work but not easily able to capture billing charges for work taking place outside of their EMR. In this 20-minute executive briefing, Amee Devani, CEO of WellBeam, joins Jill Martin, CEO of Cedars-Sinai Medical Network, to discuss how CSMN utilized WellBeam across both primary care and specialty provider functions to bring these clinical workflows directly within the EMR.
The results were rapid and measurable:
1. Providers were able to automate the capture of the billing charges directly within Epic, enabling the project to break even within 4 months from go-live;
2. Home health order turnaround time was reduced by 85% enabling compliance with the 30-day home health billing window;
3. Automation of this heavily manual workflow workflow reduced the administrative workload for provider teams by 70%, opening up time for patient focused care.
This session offers practical insights for healthcare executives seeking scalable ways to streamline physician–home health collaboration, reduce administrative overhead and improve the financial sustainability of longitudinal care management programs.

Pete Fronte, MBA, Founder & Chief Executive Officer, Altura, and Philip M. Oravetz, MD, MPH, MBA, Chief Population Health Officer, Ochsner Health
According to the CDC, every 8 seconds someone >65 falls and visits the emergency room due to an injury costing the health system billions of dollars. At the same time, and as demonstrated by dozens of published peer reviewed research, the positive impact of physical activity on chronic medical conditions is undisputed. CMS/CMMI’s three pillars, which include evidence-based prevention and helping patients meet their health goals, and the new LEAD ACO, and CARA framework, will focus more on fall prevention. Join Philip Oravetz, MD Ochsner Health’s Chief Population Health Officer and Pete Fronte, MBA Altura’s Founder and CEO discuss the latest trends and options for healthcare systems.

Mayank Pant, Executive Vice President, Product Management, IKS Health
For too long, healthcare has called reminders, portals, and mass messages “patient engagement,” but most outreach doesn’t positively change patient behavior. A new model is emerging that uses behavioral insight and intelligent automation to understand patient needs and trigger the right action at the right time for the best outcome.
In this session, IKS Health shares how medical groups and health systems are moving beyond outreach toward behaviorally intelligent engagement that improves access, reduces patient friction, and lightens the operational burden on care teams.
Session Outcomes
• Understand why traditional outreach models fail to drive meaningful patient engagement.
• Learn how behaviorally intelligent engagement identifies patient needs and triggers the right action across the care journey.
• See practical examples of how health systems are using this approach to improve patient access, experience, and operational efficiency.
