      Value Roundtable Summit

      Join top health system and medical group executives for an exclusive event dedicated to expanding, optimizing, and scaling Value-Based Care (VBC). This dynamic gathering will feature industry leaders sharing real-world strategies to drive better patient outcomes, improve financial performance, and leverage innovation. Participants in this meeting can also chose to add the AMGA Capitol Hill Day to their registration, no registration fee to participate in the lobbying activities.

      Networking Reception and Dinner

      The Executive Summit has a tradition of providing a memorable networking experience where attendees can more easily connect with one another on a personal level. Past locations include Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars, Penske Racing Museum, U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Museum, National World War II Museum, and more. Our January location will be announced soon.

      Private Online Discussion Board

      To help facilitate the networking before (and after) the meeting, a private online community connects attendees with all registrants for the upcoming and prior meetings. In addition to being a repository of prior presentations, members can ask each other questions, share insights, and offer content suggestions for hot topics and future meeting.

      2:30 – 3:05 pmThe Power of ONE MORE: HOW OPERATIONAL DESIGN Can Engage Physicians and APPS, Reduce Friction and Improve Performance
      Chan Badger, MD, Senior Vice President & President, Primary Care Services, Novant Health

      “The Power of One More” presents clinician engagement as an operating system rather than a one-time initiative. The central idea is that physicians and APPs become meaningfully engaged when their voices consistently lead to visible action. By listening, involving clinicians in workflow and governance design, providing practical tools and support, and closing the feedback loop, medical groups can reduce friction and strengthen partnership. The presentation illustrates this model through new-clinician ramp-up, APCM adoption, direct leadership communication, clinician councils, local coaching, and targeted performance support. 


      More broadly, the topic demonstrates how small, repeatable actions can produce meaningful operational and cultural change: one more clinician voice heard, one more barrier removed, one more patient reached, and one more promise kept. The message for leaders is to give clinician feedback a clear destination, fix workflow friction before asking for adoption, use data for coaching rather than surveillance, communicate what changed, and scale improvement one practical action at a time.

      John Volanthen, World Record-Holding British Cave Diver Who Played a Key Role in the 2018 Tham Luang Thailand Cave Rescue

      From cave rescue missions to meeting business goals, teamwork is a critical element to countless endeavours. Using anecdotes from decades of cave diving experience, Volanthen explains how skilled individuals can be brought together to achieve what may appear impossible. Through the lens of the Thai cave rescue, Volanthen provides an emotive story of the rescue of 13 trapped youths, detailing how teamwork and collaboration can cross cultural and national boundaries to yield spectacular results. Covering core topics such as trust, negotiation, leadership and influencing, as well as touching on self-care and team welfare, Volanthen explains how lessons learned in the harsh underground environment translate directly to improved business and team performance.

      Rima Shah, MD, MBA, Senior Vice President, Chief Medical Officer, Ambulatory Care and Population Health, Corewell Health West; Fran Gott, MBA, Interim Chief Administrative Officer, ChristianaCare; & TBD

      Access sits at the intersection of patient experience, capacity, and financial performance — and there's no single fix that works across organizations. This panel brings together three groups speaking to genuinely different levers: technology, operations, and the care delivery model itself. Rather than a highlight reel, each panelist will walk through what they tried, how it went, and what they're planning on next.

      Federal policy changes are coming faster than ever, but which ones actually matter for organizations of your size and complexity? AMGA's government affairs team delivers a focused briefing on the legislative and regulatory shifts that will impact your strategic planning, operational priorities, and bottom line. This isn't a comprehensive policy review—it's targeted intelligence on the developments large medical groups need to track, the decisions you'll need to make, and the timeline for action.

      10:35 – 11:35 amBuilding the Bench: From Today's Openings to Tomorrow's Workforce (Group Work Session)

      The physician shortage is forcing systems and groups to fight two battles at once: filling the roles open right now and building the supply that will exist five years from now. Recruitment and pipeline development often get treated as separate problems, owned by different people and funded from different budgets, but the groups navigating workforce pressure most successfully treat them as one continuous system.

      In this interactive tabletop exercise, attendees will work through real recruitment and pipeline scenarios pulled directly from the other organizations in the room. Working through the scenarios in small peer groups, you'll stress test your own approach, hear what others are doing, and leave with practical strategies for closing today's gaps while building tomorrow's bench.
