Executive Program
[ Back to Home ]
Health System 100 is focused on giving you an unvarnished read on the future of healthcare, and on change. You will hear many fresh voices at this conference, including disrupters, private equity, payers, and post acute. As our system undergoes deep change towards value, it is actually those outside of health systems who can help give us the clearest perspective on our future.
Our 2018 program is below. The 2019 program will be available in the Spring.
Backwater Fishing
12:15 - 4:45 pm
The backwaters of Southwest Florida promise a great day for the seasoned fisherman and novice alike, and a serene backdrop for catching snook, redfish, trout and pompano.
Beach Blast
12:30 - 4:30 pm
Health System 100 attendees will have a private section of the resort’s pristine beach for you to relax on a lounge chair, paddleboard or enjoy a thrilling ride on a wave runner!
Edison & Ford Winter Estates Tour
12:45 - 4:45 pm
Thomas Edison and Henry Ford spent many winters together in Southwest Florida. Their winter homes - Edison’s “Seminole Lodge” and Ford’s “The Mangoes" – will bring you to a bygone era of design and architecture. Edison’s inventive genius is evident throughout his 14-acre riverfront estate, with his love of exotic and useful foliage on display in his botanical gardens and his landmark “Botanic Research Laboratory.” You’ll also visit a museum with hundreds of Edison’s inventions and artifacts, including a unique Model T prototype presented to him by Ford.
Parasailing
1:15 - 4:00 pm
Take flight for an exhilarating ride 350-feet above Naples beach. Soaring like an eagle, you’ll get panoramic views of the Gulf of Mexico and may even spot dolphins, manatees, and stingrays. Solo and tandem parasailing is available.
Primed for Disruption: How Policy, Money & Innovation will Forge the U.S. Health System
Paul Keckley believes the healthcare landscape will continue to change through new technologies, looser regulations and a wave of new private healthcare investment. He’ll explain the magnitude of this coming change, and why system-led innovation is a matter of survival. Systems need to shift to a model of care designed around cost, convenience and the needs of the consumer — and to recognize once and for all that the hospital itself is unlikely to remain the hub of the system.
Balancing Act: What It Takes to Thrive in a Value-Based World
Four leaders will discuss how their organizations have succeeded in embracing payment reform without sacrificing the financial footing of their systems. They will address finding the right mix of fee-for-service and risk-based payment; deploying and maintaining stringent cost control measures; instilling a culture of clinical integration; and coordinating care into the community. This discussion will serve as a formula for how to manage a growth strategy that balances the long-term view (toward a value-based future) with the short-term reality (where FFS still dominates).
These rapid-format meetings connect providers with innovative solution partners. You will gain some fresh insights, and perhaps find another business partner.
2019 Investor Outlook on Health Systems
A rating agency, equity investor and healthcare analyst will share their strategic, clear-eyed views about the companies and sectors they invest in. Are they overall bullish or bearish on health systems? What is their outlook on payers? How quickly or slowly do they see the shift from FFS to value-based payment? What are their views on strategy: owning physician groups, service-line specialization, moving towards outpatient/retail, and overall cost control? How do they evaluate the financial health of individual health systems?
Inflection Point: Tough Times Demand Tough Decisions
Facing declining inpatient utilization and ongoing reimbursement pressure, the outlook for health systems is challenging. Three health system CEOs, guided by a national healthcare strategist, will address the difficult - at times existential - questions related to remaining a vibrant health system in the future:
- Creating Value — Are you prepared to do what it takes to exceed the expectations of payers?
- Right Sizing — Which assets support your core competencies, and which do not?
- New Revenue Streams — What are some untapped opportunities you could be monetizing?
- Consumer Engagement — Are you meeting the needs of the new healthcare consumer?
- Payer Disruption — Can you become an insurer? Or can you contract directly with employers?
- New Competition — How will competing providers and disruptors serve your market, and how can you leapfrog them?
Case Studies of Provider Best Practices
Behavioral Health: Expanding Care with the Help of PCPs
Atrium Health
Atrium Health (formerly Carolinas Health Care System) is partnering with family doctors to identify patients who need psychiatric care. Atrium will describe this partnership; how it’s increasing revenue for behavioral health services; and how it can be scaled to fit health systems of various sizes.
Micro-Hospitals: An Expansion Strategy, Minus the Beds
Integris Health
Oklahoma’s largest NFP system will explain how it’s expanding its footprint with four new micro-hospitals that serve as “fill in” among its nine full-service facilities. They will discuss the benefits to this model, including better patient choice and convenience, as well as a reduction in care variation.
Case Studies of Provider Best Practices (cont’d)
Employer-Direct Contracting: Answering the Call of Disney
Orlando Health
Employer-direct contracting is a high stakes game: win the business or risk losing large swaths of patients. Orlando Health will describe how it became Disney’s healthcare services provider, and what health systems need to know when considering partnering with large employers.
Seeking Scale: The Philosophy Behind an Aggressive Growth Strategy
Ochsner Health System
At a time when most health systems are struggling to fill beds, Louisiana-based Ochsner Health System is in the midst of a massive expansion plan. (One hospital alone plans to add 165 acute care beds.) How can they justify this? In this session, Ochsner will outline the ROI behind its three-year, $360 million master growth plan - including why it believes adding more beds is a sound strategy, despite the current economy.
Case Studies of Provider Best Practices (cont’d)
Hospital at Home: Pushing the Envelope of Community-Based Care
Atrius Health
Boston-based Atrius Health is pushing the boundaries of acute care in the home. They’ll outline their hospital-at-home program’s clinical protocols and impact on readmissions; provide a financial comparison between in-hospital care versus in-home care; and explain how to replicate the model.
Radical Cost Transformation: How to Cut $70M in 120 Days
Advocate Aurora Health
Advocate Health Care undertook a monumental operating transformation and turned to its flagship medical center with a stark mandate: You have four months to cut $70M. In this session, the team charged with this task describes how it sharpened its pencils and left no stone unturned, including consolidating several outpatient centers and significantly reducing non-labor expenses.
Seven Factors That Will Define the Health System of the Future
A new generation of startups — backed by equity investors and a laser focus on the patient experience — is disrupting healthcare. To keep pace with this rapid state of change, health systems — according to veteran healthcare strategist Dr. Scott Cullen — must focus on these seven key components in order to preserve their central role in the healthcare continuum:
- Clinical Care Delivery: Which service lines are already moving out of the health system setting, and how fast will the transition occur?
- Digital Capability: How has mobile banking and Amazon’s anything-anywhere model changed expectations? How will health system providers have to adapt?
- Mobile Clinical Resources: Care is increasingly coming to the patient, not the other way around. Can systems embrace technology and distribute the right resources with the right skills to the right place?
- Healthcare Facilities Redevelopment: Healthcare is too dependent on real estate. Flexibility and low-cost development will be the key.
- Physician Care and Business Models: Physician focus will radically change as artificial intelligence displaces specialties, radiologists and pathologists.
- Governance: How will tomorrow's leaders differ from today's?
- Payment: Form follows finance. How will decision-making change when providers are inevitably responsible for costs? Will employer coalitions bypass insurers by going directly to providers?
Cracking the Code on Risk
New alternative payment models — offering both up- and down-side risk — are giving providers the opportunity to get closer to the premium dollar. Four health systems will share how these alternative payment models can be turned into a meaningful margin, and describe which models are best suited for which systems; the process for getting physicians on board; what it takes to build a culture of cost efficiency; and why owning the full continuum is a critical piece of the equation.
Turning Innovation into Revenue
Nearly 50 health systems across the nation are starting to tap into their own research and resources to attract and develop new healthcare startups. Four executives from system-run Innovation Centers will lay out the rationale for commercializing home-grown innovation, including the new revenue streams these centers can generate for the health system. The panel will discuss what it takes to get an Innovation Center off the ground; options for structuring the equity share; and examples of companies they’ve incubated to success.
Driving Cultural Transformation & Strategic Change
What makes for a great culture? How can you turn a culture from mediocre to great? And how does culture help or hinder strategic change? Lincoln Healthcare Leadership is conducting a study on culture that will answer these questions. The strategy question is particularly important for health system CEOs as we engineer fundamental shifts in our business models in the next three-to-five years; during this time it will be critical that our cultures transform right alongside our business models. Lincoln is looking at companies across the general economy with exemplary cultures, including some who have transformed to become great. We will also be interviewing 20 health system CEOs to establish a baseline assessment of culture in our sector.
The Innovators’ View of the Future of Care
New payers, startups, and digital pioneers are all vying for a piece of the care delivery landscape — each with its own solution for making healthcare more cost-effective and consumer friendly. Leading disruptors will share their visions and where they see hospitals and health systems fitting in. They’ll describe how innovation is happening; the role of technology in advancing the convenience of care; and how we must adapt to satisfy an increasingly engaged healthcare consumer.

Getting Through to the New Healthcare Consumer: Why Health Systems Can’t Afford to Fail
Four experts in healthcare consumerism will describe how price transparency, personal technology, and the on-demand economy are revolutionizing consumer expectations, and in turn permanently altering how consumers will interact with providers. They'll predict how these changes will affect healthcare providers, and why health systems must immediately focus on building a culture of engagement; developing convenient solutions; and communicating a clear value proposition to consumers.
