Rewired by Regulation: How Policy and AI Are Reshaping Healthcare and Life Sciences

Everest Group invites you to a dynamic, practitioner-only virtual roundtable designed for business, sourcing, and VMO leaders from healthcare payers, providers, and life sciences organizations. The conversation will explore how enterprises are responding to intensifying regulatory pressures – such as Medicaid reimbursement cuts, global drug pricing scrutiny, and compliance mandates – while simultaneously advancing AI-led transformation across their operations. This closed-door forum offers a valuable opportunity to engage with peers, share insights, and gain expert perspectives from Everest Group analysts.

In this session, participants will discuss how these regulatory shifts are driving a fundamental rethink of sourcing models, delivery frameworks, and investment priorities. They’ll also explore where AI is delivering measurable value – from R&D and revenue cycle optimization to patient engagement and digital health enablement.

• How are regulations – such as Medicaid cuts, CMS price mandates, and drug pricing scrutiny – driving healthcare and life sciences organizations to rethink care models and sourcing strategies?
• What types of strategic investments are enterprises making to stay resilient and competitive in an increasingly regulated environment?
• Where does AI fit into the transformation agenda – and how are healthcare and life sciences leaders unlocking value across clinical, operational, and customer-facing functions?
