Description: Over the last 10 years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) healthcare foundation models have made tremendous strides when it comes to delivering highly accurate predictive results when compared to traditional models. This is especially true for models developed and trained on the ‘language’ of healthcare. When trained on healthcare data sequences (claims, EHR, CPT, ICD, pharmacy, lab, etc.), these models deliver far more accurate results as to WHAT beneficiary-level health events will occur and even WHEN they will occur.

Description: The objective of this session is to explore the fast-growing segment of healthcare that is provider enablement. Value-based care (VBC) in its original form was an alignment between providers and payers to deliver on the triple aim of cost of care, experience of care, and health of populations (more recently the quintuple aim including health equity and provider experience).

Description: The speakers will work through hands-on Excel examples of bootstrapping interest rate curves—including forward, spot, and par rates.
