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.
Backwater Fishing

Primed for Disruption: How Policy, Money & Innovation will Forge the US 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).
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?
These rapid-format meetings connect providers with innovative solution partners. You will gain some fresh insights, and perhaps find another business partner.
Inflection Point: Tough Times Demand Tough Decisions
Facing declining inpatient utilization and ongoing reimbursement pressure, the outlook for health systems is challenging. Three CEOs, guided by a national healthcare strategist, will address the difficult questions related to remaining a vibrant health system in the future:
- Creating Value — Will you 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 your competitors serve your market? How can you leapfrog them?
Case Studies of Provider Best Practices
Behavioral Health: Expanding Care with the Help of PCPs
Atrium Health

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 dominant healthcare services provider, and what health systems need to know when considering partnering with large employers.
Case Studies of Provider Best Practices (cont’d)
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.
Aggressive Growth: Making the Case for More Inpatient Beds
Ochsner Health System
At a time when most health systems are struggling to fill beds, Louisiana’s Ochsner Health is building more. (One new hospital will add 165 beds.) Ochsner will outline the ROI behind its $360 million master growth plan — including why more beds are good for the system.
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 $200M in 120 Days
Advocate Aurora Health
Advocate Health challenged its flagship medical center to cut $200M in 120 days. In its search for savings, the team charged with this task left no stone unturned. They’ll describe how they closed surgery centers, consolidated clinics, and pulled $70M out of everyday operating 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. 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 AI displaces specialties, radiologists and pathologists.
- Governance: How will tomorrow’s leaders differ from today’s?
- Payment: 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.
- Partners Innovation, a division of Partners HealthCare, works with investors and companies on the licensing and commercialization of medical technologies.
- Spectrum Health Innovations, a subsidiary of Spectrum Health (MI), is designed to encourage and support physicians and staff in the development of innovative healthcare concepts.
- REX Health Ventures is operated by UNC REX Healthcare to foster and nurture early- to mid-stage healthcare and technology companies in partnership with parent UNC Health.
- The Erlanger Innovation Center, a new division of Erlanger Health System (Chattanooga, TN) was built to foster the early adoption and integration of advanced technology and leading healthcare practices.
Driving Cultural Transformation & Strategic Change
What makes for a great culture? How can you turn a culture from mediocre to great? How does culture affect strategic change? As we engineer fundamental shifts in our business models in the next three-to-five years, it will be critical for our culture to transform as well. David Ellis, President and Founder of Lincoln Healthcare Leadership, is conducting a study on culture by looking at companies across the general economy with exemplary cultures and 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.
- Walgreens operates 8,100 retail drugstores across all 50 states, including 400 in-store health clinics that are increasingly owned and/ or operated by health system partners in their respective markets.
