Value-based Care Forum
Top hospital and health system leaders in value-based care are gathering to share successes with risk-based contracts, value measurement and more.
About the Forum
Leading Value-Based Transformation
Value-based care is no longer a pilot program — it's the operating model health systems are being judged on, and the pressure to move faster while protecting margin has never been higher. The Becker's Value-Based Care Forum was built for the CEOs, CFOs and quality leaders navigating that shift, bringing together executive teams to trade real strategies for the next five years of care delivery.
Confirmed speakers represent leading health systems including Banner Health, AdventHealth and more. Sessions dig into the issues defining value-based care right now, from building a truly value-driven C-suite and the CFO strategies actually moving margin, to balancing efficiency and quality without compromising care during transformation.
