CMS’ proposed CJR-X model signals continued acceleration toward mandatory bundled payments and episode-based accountability nationwide.
For healthcare organizations, success will require stronger post-acute visibility, real-time analytics, scalable patient engagement, and alignment across care, operational, and financial teams.
Organizations that prepare early will be better positioned as bundled payment models continue to expand in value-based care.

What does real value-based care actually look like, and why are so many organizations still struggling to get there?
In a recent episode of the Akros Advantage, Rachael Jones, MPA, CEO of Syntax Health (recently acquired by Lightbeam Health), sat down with Demi R. to unpack the realities of value-based care and the evolving role of hashtag#AI.
In the interview, Rachael and Demi discuss:
- The true definition of value-based care
- Where hashtag#VBC adoption stands today and why true downside risk is still limited
- VBC contracting failure points
- Where AI can meaningfully reduce administrative burden
- What it looks like for payers and providers to have more transparent conversations about goals and accountability

At HIMSS, our Chief Technology Officer, Michael Hoxter, shared an important point that cuts to the heart of how healthcare leaders should think about AI.
Mike appreciated the opportunity to speak with Brittany Quemby of Healthcare IT Today about why healthcare leaders must separate knowledge and intelligence to truly understand AI’s capabilities.
"AI is very, very smart, and it can answer questions that are general knowledge - it would kill it at trivia - but it doesn't know what you know," Mike said. "It doesn't know about your patient. It doesn't know a lot of the detailed, nuanced things that aren't out there available on the public internet."

Healthcare’s digital transformation has made information the currency of care.
In one of Healthcare NOW Radio's top thought leader posts of the month, Russell Smith, Vice President of IT Security, discusses why cybersecurity is healthcare’s new trust framework.
"In an era defined by data exchange and AI-driven insight, cybersecurity functions as healthcare’s trust framework," Russell writes. "It gives organizations the confidence to share information, coordinate care, and adapt to new technologies without sacrificing reliability. That confidence is what turns digital progress into lasting, patient-centered improvement."

Still at #ViVE? The Lightbeam team is here at booth #802 and would love to connect.
If “one source of truth” for value-based care still feels out of reach, come see how Lightbeam clients are replacing spreadsheets with collaborative models, forecasting upside/downside in year, and turning modeled opportunity into real savings and revenue lift.
Stop by for a quick conversation, a demo, or just to say hello before the conference wraps.

Andy De, Chief Marketing Officer, Lightbeam Health Solutions
"The adverse impact of rising health insurance premiums and the loss of Medicare and Medicaid patients, which has already led to a number of rural and community hospitals shutting their doors, combined with reduced healthcare IT spend, will drive increased M&A across healthcare organizations as well as enterprise SaaS vendors in 2026. AI startups will continue to see disproportionate VC investment, but pragmatism will begin to outweigh FOMO, with growing demand for Agentic AI platforms and AI agents that address real-world problems, reduce fatigue and burnout for physicians, nurses, and care teams, and deliver robust value, ROI, and payback on these investments."
