Hospitals and Health Systems 2026 Update (On-Demand Webinar)
Date: 05/28/2026
Closed captions are available.
Overview: Hospitals and health systems are confronting converging trends in 2026: heightened fraud and abuse enforcement, evolving provider compensation and value‑based care models, shifting valuation expectations in key specialties, and new provider‑based rules affecting outpatient strategy.
In this 90-minute webinar, leaders from the AHLA's Hospitals and Health Systems Practice Group examine these developments through a trends discussion grounded in practical experience advising health systems nationwide, and focusing on where we've been and where we may be headed.
Learning Objectives:
- Review recent FCA and Anti‑Kickback cases involving provider compensation, coverage, and service line arrangements, and the compliance gaps driving enforcement.
- Analyze adoption of VBE structures, use of downside risk, evolving productivity and quality metrics, and increased reliance on data analytics.
- Discuss specialty-specific coverage and valuation issues and practical implications of recent provider-based rule developments.
