Now more than ever, the nation both needs and demands accountability for the growing costs and uneven quality of health care. But the public also wants, and deserves, transparency about how health care decisions are made.
The members of America’s Physician Groups (APG) have led the way for decades in the drive for accountable health care, and it’s time to kickstart the groups’ efforts to a new level. In this conference, leaders from the nation’s top clinically integrated, coordinated, value-based health care systems discuss how best to achieve a bold new set of accountability goals.

Panel: When the patient ward is your living room
Advances in technology have led to several health systems providing hospital-level care in patients’ homes, allowing them to recuperate from surgery or various illnesses in familiar surroundings. Vital sign information is transmitted wirelessly through devices such as remote blood pressure monitoring cuffs, and patients participate in virtual visits with their care teams. Similar programs are being employed as preventive care for some patient populations with conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure to avoid hospitalizations. In this panel, experts will discuss how their at-home programs work, what’s trending, and what we can expect in the future.

Panel: The Golden Wave
Sunday, October 19, 2025
1:20 – 2 p.m. PT
10,000 Americans hit 65 every single day, and our health care infrastructure is scrambling to figure out how to care for a population that’s living longer but often with multiple chronic conditions that require complex, coordinated care. We don’t just need enough hospital beds and primary care doctors to address this challenge — we also need to reimagine how we deliver health care when traditional models weren’t designed for patients who might need decades of care for simultaneous conditions, like diabetes and dementia.
This discussion will explore:

Challenges including:

The need for specialized geriatric care despite a shortage of geriatricians
The need for integrated coordination in fragmented systems
The need to keep seniors healthy at home even when many lack support or tech literacy.

Solutions including:

The emergence of innovative partnerships between health systems, tech companies, and community organizations to create new models of care that blend telehealth, social services, and AI-powered monitoring to keep aging populations healthier for longer.

A central question: How quickly can we innovate our way out of a crisis that’s already here?
