- Accountability for Quality, Cost, and Equity Outcomes
April 12-14, 2023, Westin Kierland, Scottsdale, AZ
SPECIAL 30th ANNIVERSARY EVENT
Today’s healthcare ecosystem is constantly evolving, and for health systems it’s far less about winning and losing than it is about morphing and improving continually. Health organizations now have an infinite number of options, opportunities…and responsibilities: So how do we, especially in non-profit systems, many faith-based, maintain our mission to serve our communities comprehensively while remaining current on today’s technology, medical breakthroughs, and consumer experience expectations? What are our unassailable assets—our community crown jewels—that we can reimagine, redefine and reorganize in a new world of digitally enabled, collaborative, equitable and consumer-centered “primary health?”
How do we instill rigorous financial and operational discipline within while discerning trusted partners and collaborators without, moving far beyond a zero-sum mindset into countless, collaborative possibilities? Join us for the special 30th Anniversary Conference to discuss these topics.
Overview
What can you expect from the SI Annual Conference? This is a panels-only conference with moderated debrief discussion groups for collective sense-making, candid conversations about lessons learned, plenty of time for informal networking, and an earnest desire to collaborate with peers to solve the truly tough issues of building and operating the health system of the future.
Who Should Attend
This invitation-only conference is an interactive experience for SI Member executives. SI conferences are intimate sessions, designed for C-Suite executives (management, information and security, analytics, innovation, transformation, strategy, operations and finance), member officers, board members and other business and clinical executives who would benefit from peer collaboration, information sharing and networking.
Our approach is more “participation” and less “presentation,” so come prepared for relaxed, informal and highly interactive discussion with senior management teams from other leading health systems.

Why 2023 is a Make or Break Year for U.S. Healthcare
Keynote:
Healthcare is going through a gut check. The volume and velocity of change is unprecedented. Paul Keckley is an intense observer of that change, diving deep into the trends, tipping points, intended and unintended consequences to bring clients and opinion leaders the unvarnished truth. He’s a believer that the right questions and objective data result in a healthcare system that is healthily balanced in both profit and purpose. He helps pressure test strategy, anticipate public reaction, find opportunities for growth and improve the odds of success.

Strategic Dimensions to Solving our Healthcare Workforce Crisis
Possible Discussion Questions:
Supply, demand and workflow issues; focus on solutions not the problem.
- How are you changing your business model to systemically redefining the way healthcare is delivered in your markets? What are emerging roles that will support new models of care delivery and lower overall cost of care? Where are the bottlenecks?
- What is involved in “right-sizing” the American healthcare workforce? How do health systems today take a strategic approach to solving for a changing workforce and changing consumer expectations about managing their health?
- What do you think are the keys to addressing talent acquisition and retention? What are creative ways to grow the talent pipeline, e.g., nursing and medical education, CHWs, other credentialing movements, new curriculum development incorporating tech, leveraging “mentors” to new staff, more collaborative care team models
- How does technology play a role in educating, motivating, and managing the next generation of our clinical workforce? How do we address clinical staff retention, and workforce redesign, e.g., “working at the top of our license,” increase engagement, create quality environment, reduce stress, etc.
