Opening Keynote: AI Doing Real Work

The state of AI across healthcare and senior living: AI agents are already automating knowledge work, cutting labor costs, and driving new revenue. A grounded look at the technology, culture, and organizational change needed to make it real.

Driving Successful Digital & AI Transformation: Process, People & Technology

Digital and AI transformation efforts fail more often than they succeed—and it’s rarely the technology’s fault. This panel brings together leaders who’ve actually driven change to break down what works across the three things that make or break it: process, people, and technology. Honest lessons on sequencing, change management, and avoiding the pilots-that-go-nowhere trap.

AI-Driven Organization & Sector Driven Change

A transformation isn’t a deployment — it’s an organizational shift, and increasingly a sector-wide one. This session brings together the leadership team driving AI transformation inside a PACE organization alongside the consulting partner guiding the change. The conversation will cover the strategic vision behind the decision to transform, the operational reality of moving an entire organization into the AI era, an honest accounting of what it may cost, and a look ahead at where sector-level collaboration is heading. Less about any single tool, more about how leaders rewire an organization and a model around AI.

Senior Living

AI-Powered Senior Living Operations: Occupancy Growth and Labor Cost Optimizations

How senior living operators are filling communities faster and running leaner at the same time. This panel goes inside the move-in funnel and the staffing model: AI agents qualifying and following up on leads so inquiries don’t go cold, census-driven scheduling that matches labor to actual need, and overtime and agency spend that shrink without cutting care. Operators share real occupancy gains and labor savings delivered with zero additional headcount — plus what didn’t work along the way.

Panel • 40 Minutes

10:45 AM 

S5

Provider / Payer

Provider Productivity: AI Agents Automating Front Office & Clinical Administration

AI agents are clearing the administrative drag on provider front offices — the phone tag, manual scheduling, and fax machines that slow everything down. This panel digs into what’s actually running in production: documentation automation, prior auth assistance, and inbox triage that hand providers back their time. The result is more patients seen and clinicians who go home on time. Expect real time-savings data from health systems, an honest look at where these tools still fall short, and what operators would do differently.

Senior Living

AI NOI: Agentic Analytics

Real-time visibility across every community — occupancy, revenue, labor spend, and AR aging — in one dashboard tracking 350+ KPIs. This panel shows how operators run their portfolio like a command center: AI watchlists that surface at-risk communities, performance scorecards that hold teams accountable, and exception reporting that catches problems before they hit the P&L. Operators walk through what they actually monitor day to day, where the dashboards earned their keep, and what they’d build differently.

Panel • 40 Minutes

11:30 AM

S7

Value-based Care

Growth: AI-Enabled Member Acquisition and Retention for Value-Based Care

Value-based care is reshaping how Medicare Advantage organizations, agents, providers, and senior living operators work together to grow membership, improve outcomes, and operate more efficiently. This session explores how AI is being used across the full member lifecycle, from identifying and educating prospective members to improving agent productivity, automating Scope of Appointment compliance, and supporting more personalized enrollment experiences.


The discussion also goes beyond acquisition to focus on retention: using remote patient monitoring, predictive insights, and AI-driven outreach to keep members healthier, more engaged, and enrolled year over year. Panelists will share how senior living operators can participate in the value-based care ecosystem, support stronger partnerships with physicians, home health providers, and Medicare Advantage plans, and turn resident data into proactive care interventions.


Attendees will leave with practical examples, lessons learned, and clear first steps for building an AI-enabled value-based care strategy.

The ROI of AI: AI Agents Making Financial Impact

Real numbers from real operators and health systems. How AI agrents are automating administrative work, remote patient monitoring —work that used to take FTEs now runs before your team clocks in. The hype around AI in healthcare is loud, but operators don’t have the luxury of theory — they need margin. This panel skips the abstractions and goes straight to the people signing the checks and reading the variance reports. We’ll hear from CEOs and CFOs who have put AI employees to work on the workflows that used to chew up nights and weekends: census reporting, labor cost variance, AR follow-ups, board packets, and claims processing. Expect real numbers, real surprises, and an honest take on what’s working, what isn’t, and what they’d do differently.

From Days to Minutes: AI-Powered Prior Auth & Member Experience

How health plans are using AI to take the friction out of prior authorizations, benefits verification, and member communications — at scale. This panel shows how payers are compressing turnaround from days to minutes, cutting administrative costs by 40%+, and lifting member satisfaction scores along the way. It also covers AI-powered fraud detection and payment integrity that protect the bottom line without slowing members down. Expect real numbers from health plans in production, an honest look at where these tools still fall short, and what teams would do differently.

From Firefighting to Forecasting: AI-Driven Workforce Planning

How healthcare and senior living organizations are using AI to control labor costs without compromising care. This panel covers AI-optimized scheduling built around census, acuity, and compliance requirements, with real-time labor spend tracked against budget down to the location, department, and individual level. Leaders share how they’re cutting agency spend and overtime while holding staffing ratios — moving from “fighting fires” to predictive workforce planning. The conversation also covers AI for compliance and admin automation, how connected devices and monitoring ease staff workload, and an honest look at the privacy and compliance concerns that come with it — plus what teams would do differently.

Under the Hood: How Agentic AI Actually Works

A plain-English look at what’s really happening inside agentic AI. This session breaks down the building blocks — models and harnesses, tool calling, skills, and MCPs (Model Context Protocols) — and how they come together so AI can reason, take action, and even write its own software. The conversation covers how tools like Claude Code are changing what’s possible and, most importantly, what it all means for AI systems in senior living and healthcare. No hype, just a clear mental model of how these systems work and where they’re headed.

AI Legal Risk & Compliance: Guardrails for the Real World

What operators need to know to deploy AI responsibly in senior living and healthcare. This session covers the legal and regulatory landscape — from HITRUST r2 certification to the AI guardrails that keep sensitive data protected and decisions defensible. The conversation tackles where legal risk actually lives, how to put the right controls in place without grinding innovation to a halt, and an honest look at the questions every organization should be asking before they scale AI.
