Protecting cost, cash and capacity: Health System Finance Focus Day

Most finance operations leaders in health systems are navigating the same pressures - but rarely in the same room.

Join a small group of senior P2P and finance operations leaders for a day of candid peer discussion, working lunch, and genuine connection. No panels, no pitches - just the conversations that move things forward. And a founding role in the community health system finance leaders have needed for a long time.

Themes of the day

The topics below were shaped by attendees themselves, and the conversation will continue to evolve based on what people want to explore when they sign up, so the agenda is subject to change. Above all, we want you to leave with real takeaways from your peers - practical ways to improve your finance operations, clear actions you can act on immediately, and a network you can tap into long after the day is done.

 

Protecting margin in a tougher environment

How finance operations either absorbs cost pressure or actively helps relieve it — and what that requires in practice.


Managing through M&A, growth and integration

The hidden risk, inconsistent controls and operational drag that tend to follow acquisitions, new hospitals and expanded supplier bases.


Finding value already inside the business

Recovered cash, avoided leakage, stronger payment discipline — and what it takes to surface and sustain that value.


Building scalable controls across complex environments

Consistency across multiple hospitals, entities, vendors and processes — especially where legacy systems make it harder.


Moving from transactional to strategic

What it takes to shift finance operations from cost centre to business lever — and how to make that visible to CFO and controller-level leadership.


Reducing operational drag on finance teams

Freeing teams from firefighting, supplier escalations and manual exception-handling — so they can focus on higher-value work.
