Business of Medicine Symposium Will Help You Succeed in Today’s Increasingly Complex Industry Landscape

April 27, 2026

After the success of last year’s inaugural Business of Medicine Symposium, the decision was quickly made to do it annually. The 2026 event, which will be held virtually on June 3, will feature interactive discussions and presentations on the latest industry trends—with a special focus on value-based care (VBC) models—to help clinicians and other leaders find their way in a fast-paced and complicated business and regulatory environment. The agenda includes:

Level Set: An Update and Impact Discussion on Current Regulations
Change is Constant: Understand the Evolving VBC Models and How to Get the Most from Them
ACO MSSP/ISNP/CMMIs — Making Sense of Alphabet Soup
Where’s My Chair? How Clinicians Can Have a Seat at the Table in Conversations About ACOs
“Data is the New Oil”: Access, Understand and Leverage Your Data to Optimize Your Practice and Maximize VBC Savings
Why do they STAY? Recruitment, Onboarding, and Retention for Strong Teams
Inside ISNP: A Deep Dive into Institutional Special Needs Plans
From Data to Dollars: Selecting MIPS Measures That Maximize Performance

Jennifer Rucci, MD, CMD, is a member of the workgroup planning the symposium. As she explains, practicing in post-acute and long-term care is not just about seeing patients; it includes navigating the complex systems that surround them. And that’s why the symposium is so important.

“We uniquely have to manage not only our own clinical practice but also integrate within the systems of our facility partners, work with many other health-care organizations that could also be caring for our patients and appreciate the multiple different payor systems that cover our population,” she says. “Clinicians who master these other systems will be able to find the optimal balance between caring for their patients and running their practices as the landscape of health-care delivery rapidly evolves.”

Dr. Rucci believes that all members of the interdisciplinary team will benefit from attending the symposium because “the complexities in our world are increasing and PALTmed wants to ensure its members are best equipped to succeed in not just direct clinical care, but also in understanding the systems that go along with that.”

In addition, coming on the heels of the highly praised PALTC26 annual conference in March, Dr. Rucci says the symposium is a great opportunity “to come back together virtually for a digestible bite of exciting topics that will help continue the year of learning.”
