The Health Innovation Summit really is the leader in bringing everyone to the table, and that means everyone from the industry. And that is important because we are all the part of that journey for the member. It's the perfect sized conference. It's large enough where you get senior leaders that want to come to attend, but it's also small enough where you get meaningful conversations and appointed conversations around quality and outcomes. The Health Innovation Summit is a way for me to hear what my colleagues in the quality space are thinking and where their field is evolving towards. These are critically important partners, and we need to co govern and co create from the medical side and from the quality side to redesign our systems together. It's always great to come to conferences like this to learn about the latest trends and the changes that are happening in the industry and how we can better innovate quality. In some of the breakout concurrent sessions, we've been able to have smaller discussions and really talk about what's top of mind for our firm as an audit firm and getting to listen to the different perspectives has been wonderful. If someone's considering coming to the Health Innovation Summit, I would encourage them to do that because there is so much advocacy and so much opportunity to connect and learn about everyone else across the country trying to support primary care and trying to support the patients. Quality's next chapter is digital integration. Quality's next chapter is investing in primary care. Is directional alignment. Is integrated holistic patient care. Is digital transformation. Honesty AI. Collaboration. Harness ing innovation. More data for better health.

Health Innovation Summit 2026 Highlights
NCQA’s 2026 Health Innovation Summit brought senior leaders, quality professionals, clinicians and industry partners together around one theme: Quality’s Next Chapter. In this highlight reel, attendees share why the Summit is the place where everyone comes to the table, and why each of them has a part in the journey toward better quality for members and patients.
Participants describe a conference that is large enough to draw senior leaders yet small enough for meaningful, focused conversations about quality and outcomes. They point to the value of hearing where colleagues across the quality space are headed, working with medical-side partners to co-govern and co-create better systems, and joining breakout sessions for candid discussions on the issues that matter most to their organizations.
Throughout the video, attendees define what quality’s next chapter looks like: digital integration and transformation, investment in primary care, directional alignment, integrated holistic patient care, honest use of AI, collaboration and harnessing innovation, all in service of more data for better health.
