14th Annual Meeting Impact Report 2024

Healthcare has never been static — disruption and innovation were constants. The continual challenges and changes demanded industry leaders exchange best practices and ideas to improve care, enhance operational efficiency, and address financial challenges. Becker's Healthcare is committed to facilitating these conversations.

Over 4 days of sessions, attendees heard hundreds of elite hospital and health system executives discuss topics such as health IT, consumerism, workforce, finance, executive leadership, value-based care, telehealth, physician burnout, payers, health equity, and pharmacy costs.

Thousands of executive peers joined to get a glimpse of the C-suite discussions happening at health systems across the country and left with clear action items to improve their organizations.
