  • Future-Focused: Strategic Priorities
    for Health Plans in FY24 & FY25
    Breakout Session

    In the spirit of Back to the Future, health plans need to tap into their inner Marty McFly to navigate the twists and turns of healthcare in FY24 and FY25. Much like Doc Brown’s DeLorean, the journey to success is powered by data-driven insights, cutting-edge tech, and a dash of forward-thinking flair.

To thrive in the future, health plans must embrace innovation, prioritize value, and remain member-focused—accelerating toward a healthier, more efficient future for all. Buckle up, because where healthcare is going, we will need roads paved with strategy and innovation!
