Sessions

NIC is excited to host Gary Bacher, Chief Strategy Officer of the CMS Innovation Center and Caroline Pearson, Executive Director of the Peterson Health Technology Institute (PHTI) for a dynamic fireside chat with Jim Lydiard, Chair of the NIC Partnering for Health Committee and CEO of Centered Care. Together, they’ll explore how the CMS Innovation Center and PHTI are driving innovation to make healthcare more equitable, affordable, and outcome-focused. Hear insights on the CMS Innovation Center’s priorities to expand value-based care and strengthen chronic disease prevention, alongside the PHTI’s mission to scale proven models that deliver higher quality at lower cost. The conversation will highlight where their visions align and how the senior housing and care sector can be a vital partner in advancing better health and value for older adults.
