Total Health 2027 brings the nation’s most senior healthcare leaders to Nashville this October, dates to be announced. Capped at 400, this senior-only forum is built for the people who own delivery, not theory.
2027 is where healthcare gets real. Financial strain, regulatory upheaval, and workforce shortages are testing every corner of the system, and the current operating model cannot hold. Leaders need to build trusted data infrastructure, clear AI governance, true interoperability, payer–provider alignment, and financially viable risk models.
Systems only matter if they perform. The winners will be the organizations that turn strategy into margin-positive operations, scalable workflows, and care models that work under real conditions. CEOs, CFOs, CMIOs, payers, policymakers, and innovators will share what worked, admit what didn’t, and decide what must change.
Senior Reuters journalists will take to the main stage to lead incisive interviews, challenge industry leaders with data-driven questions, and provide the independent, agenda-setting perspective that defines Reuters.

Our editors will tackle the tough questions that matter, delivering newsworthy journalism in real time—all moderated under the Reuters Trust Principles that ensure the editorial independence and integrity you expect from us.
Total Health 2025 stands out because of how intentionally it’s being designed, by the very people shaping the future of health care. It’s one of the rare convenings that brings together leaders from every corner of health care – clinical, innovation, policy, and business – with a shared interest in driving system-level change…that’s what made this a priority for me

Margin pressure is coming from every direction — reimbursement volatility, rising costs, and structural inefficiencies that legacy models were never built to absorb. Leaders must act across the full picture: optimising capacity, accelerating site-of-care shifts, transforming revenue cycle operations, and rethinking contracting strategy — while finding credible answers on MA risk viability, Medicaid pressure, and the financial return on prevention.
The clinician shortage is a present operational reality — and incremental responses are no longer sufficient. Leaders must redesign care teams around APP optimisation, virtual and tele-specialty models, and tech-enabled tools like ambient AI and smart scheduling, while tackling the retention, burnout, and change management challenges that determine whether new models actually stick.
AI's potential is only as strong as the data foundations beneath it. Leaders must build enterprise-grade infrastructure, achieve interoperability that actually works, and establish governance and safety guardrails before deployment — while making clear-eyed decisions across clinical AI, ambient documentation, RCM automation, cybersecurity, and cloud strategy.
MA instability and misaligned incentives have eroded payer-provider trust at precisely the moment deeper collaboration is most needed. Leaders must identify which VBC strategies and risk models actually work, redesign contracts in response to shifting MA dynamics, and build the shared data flows and aligned incentives that turn population health from aspiration into measurable results.
Total Health is attended exclusively by senior leaders from the nation’s most influential health systems, payers, providers, and innovators. We’ve carefully curated an environment that prioritizes authentic, high‑value networking. With strictly limited vendor presence, every conversation is relevant, insightful, and grounded in shared clinical, operational, and financial challenges. Expect fresh perspectives, impactful dialogue, and relationships that extend well beyond the event.
Our agenda is built through deep collaboration with our community to ensure every session delivers substance over soundbites. You’ll hear from true healthcare leaders via candid case studies, collaborative roundtables, and varied panel discussions — providing clarity on what’s driving success across care delivery, patient experience, digital health, and population health.
Benchmark your strategy against the best in the industry. Hear directly from senior executives across leading health systems, payers, and life sciences, and gain practical insights from peers in similar roles. Every session is designed to help you measure performance, validate your approach, and apply proven strategies with confidence in complex healthcare environments.
