In this forward-looking panel, care leaders will share how they’re preparing their teams, workflows, and cultures for a future shaped by automation, virtual assistance, and intelligent decision support. From internal readiness and change management to opportunities they’re most excited about, this session will give you a real-world look at how organizations are planning for what’s next. Whether you’re just starting the conversation or actively mapping your AI strategy, you’ll leave with ideas to bring back to your team — and a clearer view of how AlayaCare’s vision fits into the path ahead.

Diversify to thrive: Strategies for growth and risk mitigation in home-based care

In the evolving world of home and community-based care, relying on a single funding source or service line can increase exposure to risk. Join this session to hear directly from AlayaCare customers who have successfully diversified their businesses by expanding into new service lines, partnering with varied payors, and applying data-driven strategies to support population health.

More than a launch: Building a change management flywheel with AlayaCare

Change is never easy — but the cost of standing still is far greater. Too often, organizations struggle with transformation because they lack the right support, the right strategy, and the right partner. At AlayaCare, we believe that success is the result of an ongoing partnership.

Turning data into direction: How AlayaCare customers use data for decision making

From board-level metrics to frontline performance, the ability to surface the right data at the right time is critical. In this session, we will explore how AlayaCare’s reporting and analytics tools help you track the KPIs that matter, from clinical outcomes to operational efficiency and financial performance. Learn how to harness dashboards, data extracts, and predictive insights to support strategic planning, uncover trends, and make confident decisions. Whether you are preparing board updates, optimizing staffing, or improving care delivery, this session will show you how to transform data into meaningful action.

Navigating privacy, compliance, and ethical innovation in home-based care

Home-based care providers operate in one of the most sensitive and highly regulated environments in healthcare. In this session, we will explore the evolving landscape of compliance and privacy, including how to safeguard client data, stay compliant with federal and state regulations, and build a culture of trust. We will also discuss how emerging technologies like AI fit into this picture and why ethical design, transparency, and responsible use are essential to aligning innovation with care standards. You will walk away with a deeper understanding of how AlayaCare supports your organization’s security, compliance, and privacy needs and how the platform helps keep your data protected as you scale.

Smarter scheduling and workforce management for better outcomes

Effective workforce management starts with smarter scheduling. Learn best practices for strong scheduling strategies that can directly impact caregiver retention and overall care quality.

Whether you're new to reporting or looking to sharpen your skills, this session will help you turn raw data into actionable insights.

In their shoes: A day in the life of frontline care

What does a typical day look like for the people delivering care on the ground? In this intimate, interview-style session, hear directly from frontline workers as they share their real experiences, challenges, and moments of connection in the field. From early-morning visits to late-night charting, this is a behind-the-scenes look at the emotional, human side of home-based care. Walk away with a deeper appreciation for the compassion, resilience, and coordination it takes to deliver care — and how technology can support those who give so much of themselves every day.

The EMR of the future is here

As home-based care becomes more complex, technology needs to do more than just record information. It should support teams, surface insights, and adapt in real time. The next generation of EMR won’t rely on bolt-on tools or patchwork systems — it will be intelligent by design, deeply embedded into care workflows, and continuously learning from every interaction.

In this session, we’ll explore how the care platform is evolving, and what it means to move from passive documentation to active enablement. From built-in AI and agents to integrated workflows and real-time decision support, we’ll discuss the key shifts shaping the future of care delivery — and what it looks like to be ready now.

Achieving more with kindness

What if kindness wasn’t how you fall behind — but how you go further?

In this energizing and deeply human talk, Alison Green challenges the traditional formulas of achievement built on pressure, overdrive, and burnout. Drawing from science, real-world leadership, and her own entrepreneurial journey, she introduces a new path forward: one where kindness isn’t just a virtue, but a performance advantage.

Through compelling stories and practical takeaways, she shows how kindness can protect your inner energy, strengthen your team, and help you achieve more — without losing yourself along the way.
