Flexion/CMS Executive Roundtable 2026, Woodlawn, MD

Optimizing Program Integrity:
Technology & the Art of the Possible

Flexion is convening an industry-led Executive Roundtable to explore how modern data integration, analytics, and AI-enabled tools can strengthen program oversight across Nursing Home, Hospice, and Post-Acute Care — and we'd like your perspective in the room.

Why this conversation, why now

Program integrity is a data and integration problem as much as a policy one.

Payment, quality, and survey & certification data largely live in silos today. This Roundtable brings together CMS leadership and subject-matter experts with the technologists building modern oversight tools — to identify where synergistic data integration, targeted analytics, and practical AI applications can strengthen oversight of Nursing Home, Hospice, and Post-Acute Care programs, and to shape a realistic, achievable modernization pathway.

Goal 01

Validate the opportunity

Confirm where program oversight integration and modern technology can meaningfully reduce blind spots — grounded in real program needs, not hypotheticals.

Goal 02

Surface practical use cases

Build a focused inventory of data opportunities and mission-driven use cases — including early prototype concepts worth testing.

Goal 03

Shape what comes next

Use the kickoff discussion to directly inform the agenda, topics, and participant list for a broader winter Technical Expert Panel.

Goal 04

Build shared momentum

Give participants a shared, grounded view of the highest-priority opportunities — and confidence in a longer-term modernization path.

How it unfolds

Two sessions, one thread of work

Early November 2026

Kickoff Session — exploratory discussion

A small, focused, invitation-only conversation with CMS leadership and select subject-matter experts to pressure-test the opportunity and inform how the winter event should be structured.

Winter 2026

Executive Roundtable / Technical Expert Panel

A broader, industry-led Technical Expert Panel — informed directly by the kickoff — with panels and breakout sessions connecting technology and policy expertise around program integrity, quality oversight, beneficiary protection, and payment accuracy.

What we'll dig into

Kickoff discussion topics

A note on framing. This is an industry-led Technical Expert Panel, convened by Flexion — not a CMS-sponsored event. The goal is forward-looking: identifying where optimization is possible, not evaluating past performance.

Why Flexion

Grounded in federal health delivery, not theory

Flexion works inside the systems this Roundtable is about — which is why we're convening the conversation rather than just attending it.

Medicare claims modernization

Led product strategy to stand up a new cloud-based claims-processing capability for CMS ahead of a hard deadline — outside legacy systems, with a durable modernization roadmap.

50% fewer missed redactions

Built a privacy-first, context-aware PII/PHI redaction model for a federal health agency, cutting the missed-redaction rate in half over a two-month live period.

Security & velocity together

Embedded engineering and DevSecOps across a dozen federal health teams — supporting ATO under FISMA while moving a stalled release cadence to twice-weekly deployments.

AI applied to legacy systems

Used AI to make legacy COBOL systems understandable — lowering the risk of modernizing mission-critical government programs.

Join the conversation

We'd like your perspective in the room.
