      Fall Council Summit

      September 9-11, Nashville, TN

      AMGA's Fall Council Summit is an exclusive forum for CAO/COO, CEO, CFO, CMO, and Quality Council members to openly share their experiences and stories, identify improvement opportunities, highlight successes, and discuss strategies. With content identified and selected by a planning committee of fellow council members, each council agenda focuses on the top issues impacting healthcare leaders.

Everything is specifically designed to facilitate member-to-member conversations so you leave the meeting with ideas you can implement and new contacts to connect with throughout your career.

      Setting the Stage: Making Sense of AI in Healthcare

      Bradley Locke, DO, Chief Medical Information Officer, Prevea Health
      Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping healthcare and no longer a future concept. But with rapid developments, bold claims, and a crowded vendor landscape, it can be challenging to separate hype from meaningful impact. This opening session will ground the audience in what AI really means for healthcare leaders, clarify key terms and trends, and offer a pragmatic lens through which to evaluate AI-powered solutions. You'll leave with a shared framework that prepares you to engage with the real-world case studies and demonstrations that follow.

      Tech Talks: AI In Action

      A series of 20 minute tech talks across 4 separate breakout rooms will showcase innovative AI applications that are driving measurable impact within health systems and medical groups. Each case study will provide a transparent overview of the AI solution, offering practical takeaways for healthcare leaders looking to integrate AI into their own organizations. Topics of interest to AMGA members could include: Empowering Care Through Ambient Listening; AI in Clinical Decision Support; Operational AI & Predictive Analytics; AI for Personalized Medicine; AI in Revenue Cycle & Administration

      Frequently Asked Questions

      What about IQL?
      Based on member feedback, AMGA sunset the Innovation, Quality, & Leadership Conference (IQL) and replaced it with more focused opportunities including the Fall Council Summit. By doing so, AMGA is able to provide more time for peer-to-peer networking and interaction for Council members to further expand their relationships and share solutions.

      Can I switch between Councils?
      Due to room capacity planning and the nature of the discussions, we kindly ask that you attend the Council meeting for which you register and best aligns with your role/responsibilities.

      Will corporate partners be in the meeting rooms?
      The joint Council sessions (keynotes, meals, and receptions) will feature corporate partners in addition to Council member. The individual Council breakouts, however, are limited to medical group Council members only. No corporate partners are allowed to participate, join, or sit-in.

      Is there a virtual option?
      Due to the nature of the discussions, this meeting doesn't translate well into a virtual environment. As such, this meeting will be face-to-face to faciliate the networking and relationship building.
