We’re heading to Dallas for TXAACOS 2026
The TXAACOS 2026 conference is designed for leaders who want to focus on what is actually working in the market today. Beyond our panel, the event offers a chance to explore CMS models like ACCESS and LEAD and learn how peers are managing complex, high-cost populations. Register today and join us for a conversation that will help shape the next several years of your organization’s AI strategy. We look forward to seeing you there and exploring how we can build a more efficient, personalized, and effective healthcare system together.
Value-based care (VBC) is entering a transformative new phase. As we face evolving CMS models and rising performance expectations, the question is no longer if we should use AI, but how to build a tech stack that actually drives outcomes.
The TXAACOs Annual Spring Conference is the premier gathering for value-based care leaders across Texas. Over three days, ACO executives, physician leaders, payers, and health tech innovators come together to tackle the real challenges shaping accountable care —> from CMS model complexity to care management innovation and technology adoption.
Our CEO, Kevin Riley, will be moderating a featured panel at the TXAACOS 2026 Annual Conference in Rockwall, Texas.
Session: Building the Right Tech Stack: How ACOs Prioritize and Use AI
Date: Tuesday, May 5, 2026
Time: 12:30 PM – 1:25 PM
Location: Hilton Dallas / Rockwall Lakefront
Why This Conversation Matters Now
In our session, we aren't just talking about chatbots. We are diving into the evolution of AI from a tool that summarizes emails to autonomous "workers" that can execute complex workflows. We will explore three critical layers of AI that every ACO leader needs to understand:
Generative AI: Tools used for personal productivity, drafting code, and summarizing information.
Agentic AI: Semi- or fully autonomous agents that plan and execute tasks toward a specific goal while keeping humans "in the loop".
Co-Agentic Intelligence: AI that collaborates and thinks with you to run simulations and identify blind spots.
Meet the Panel
I am honored to share the stage with healthcare leaders who are already integrating these technologies into the core of their operations:
Ashley Medina (United Vein & Vascular Centers): Ashley will share how she transitioned from leading large, manual operations teams to managing a "mixed team" of humans and AI agents.
Mark Pothen (Beacon Health AI): Mark is at the forefront of building EHR co-workers, helping us understand how "human-in-the-loop" management works in a clinical setting.
Craig Hauben (Clutch Health): With over 30 years in healthcare, Craig brings a unique perspective on personalization. He will discuss how AI can help close care gaps by treating members with "respect" through tailored, culturally relevant engagement.
Beyond the Hype: Real-World Impact
For ACOs, the opportunity isn’t just to adopt AI as a "feature," but to rethink the entire operating model. Using non-human worker agents allows teams to stop spending time building analysis and start spending time making decisions. Whether it is attribution analysis, care gap identification, or contract interpretation, identifying where human time is spent on "repeatable thinking" is the first step toward scaling insight.
See Y’all in Texas!
