Tegria’s Biggest Event Takeaways From 2025

2025 was another dynamic year in healthcare, and Tegria took part in the industry’s important conversations. After all we learned in 2024, we knew that this year would bring new momentum, intensified pressures, and evolving priorities across providers and payers alike. In case you couldn’t attend every conference, forum, or exhibition, this post gathers our experts’ event takeaways from the front lines of healthcare at events such as HIMSS25, ViVE 2025, KLAS Patient Consumer & Innovation Summit, and more. 

From rapid shifts in outpatient care models and the rise of generative AI across patient access to mounting financial constraints, our team captured not only what leaders are talking about today, but where the industry is headed. Dive in to explore the themes that will shape your strategy, your operations, and your roadmap for the year ahead. 

ViVE 2025 

This year’s ViVE conference raised an important question: Are we addressing healthcare’s fundamental misalignments or reinforcing them with AI? Tye Cook emphasized the importance of rethinking your operating model before introducing AI. Leaders who implement AI without first aligning their operations risk automating inefficiencies and even creating new challenges. While technology can boost efficiency and expand access, without proper alignment, even the most advanced tools will fall short of their potential. 

HIMSS25 

At HIMSS25, Tegria shared key findings from The Health Management Academy regarding patient access and experience. The session highlighted the importance of a streamlined, operations-forward approach to technology to achieve improvements in patient access. We also presented with St. Luke’s University Health Network, sharing our journey in building a cloud-based Azure data lakehouse. Another highlight was our Lunch and Learn, where attendees gained practical guidance on how to evaluate AI opportunities. Overall, there were a lot of great sessions on data and information, health equity, technology, governance, and public policy.  

MUSE Inspire 

Key themes from MUSE Inspire 2025 included AI, interoperability, population health and analytics, cybersecurity, and patient engagement. In addition to those themes, we had the opportunity to share about regulatory compliance and financial performance. We joined Ashley Hall from White River Health to present a collaborative approach to regulatory readiness. Later, we presented an outcomes-focused productivity approach that healthcare organizations can adopt to drive strategic decisions and long-term revenue cycle improvements.  

HFMA Annual Conference 

The conference centered on three main themes: driving financial and operational transformation, embracing innovation, and prioritizing people. It highlighted how leaders are looking for performance improvement strategies with measurable ROI. Static reports are no longer enough. Leaders want modern data visualization tools to help them focus on the right priorities and act quickly. AI also generated strong interest at the conference. However, with limited resources, leaders are cautious and expecting proven ROI before committing. Denials were also top of mind, with a strong interest in technologies that can help ease the burden on staff and improve results.  

AHA Leadership Summit  

The AHA Leadership Summit reinforced a central truth about what matters most in healthcare transformation: people. Key themes included partnership, investing in the employee experience, effective change management, patient access, and people-first transformation. 

At the summit we heard, “People don’t resist change—they resist uncertainty.” Leaders who intentionally embed change management into every initiative can better equip their teams to thrive. While technology plays an important role, we find lasting impact comes from cultivating a strong culture, building trust, and leading with compassion.   

KLAS Patient & Consumer Innovation Summit 

A key message from the summit was that meaningful innovation starts with listening to patients and designing around their needs. Today, organizations are intentionally incorporating patient feedback into strategic decisions, which improves patient satisfaction, trust, and loyalty. AI, when used well, can support more personalized, understandable interactions. The summit also emphasized offering patient education in multiple, on-demand formats to empower patients to make more informed decisions. Insights from the KLAS Patient & Consumer Innovation Summit reflect a broader movement toward patient-centered digital transformation.   

MEDITECH LIVE 25 

MEDITECH LIVE 25 was MEDITECH’s highest-attended leadership summit to date. A major theme of the event was that modernization is no longer optional. Some vendors are winding down support for legacy platforms, so health systems cannot afford to stand still. Another theme was that AI is moving from concept to embedded strategy. Many sessions showcased how AI solutions embedded within Expanse are driving results. Upgrading to Expanse 2.2 further enables organizations to adopt the latest interoperability features and automation. Lastly, community and collaboration continue to drive progress. MEDITECH LIVE provided an opportunity for providers, technology partners, and service organizations to come together and reimagine care delivery. 

HPA Fall Leadership Forum 

From navigating regulatory changes to market pressures and trends, health plan leaders discussed a variety of pressing topics and challenges at the HPA Fall Leadership Forum. During our fireside chat with the Community Health Plan of Washington and Network Health, we discussed payer-provider collaboration, tools for sharing clinical data, and different Epic solutions. While payers are at varying stages of adoption, attendees found it valuable to learn how peers are navigating choices and balancing demands. All in all, the event provided a dynamic space for health plan leaders to engage in meaningful conversations and explore future-focused strategies. 

CHIME25 Fall Forum 

As we saw at other industry events, AI is increasingly being integrated into everyday operations. IT governance is becoming essential for safe AI deployment, data quality, and strategic alignment. It comes as no surprise that community and rural health systems continue to struggle to keep pace with modernization because of financial strain and overstretched IT teams. CHIME25 highlighted that, while organizations are progressing at different speeds, they face common challenges. Clear governance, practical AI strategies, strong security, and modernization are vital to success. 

Thank you for following along with our 2025 event takeaways. We look forward to connecting with you as we continue advancing meaningful conversations in 2026.
