Xccelerate 2026: AI’s Role in the Modern Healthcare Operating Model

At Xccelerate, we spend a lot of time talking about AI as a tool. This session is about AI as an operating model. In this panel discussion, Arundhati Parmar, Editor-in-Chief at MedCity News, brings together healthcare leaders who are rethinking how AI fits into the economics and structure of care delivery. Not just individual tools or point solutions, but orchestrated systems that turn fragmented capabilities into scalable, outcome-based models. Panelists: • Deepak Sadagopan, Business Lead, Value-based Platform, Risant Health • Feby Abraham, Chief Strategy Officer, Memorial Hermann • Dr. Gregory Byrd, Managing Partner, Olympia Orthopaedic Associates • Dr. Anil Jain, Chief Innovation Officer, Innovaccer What you'll hear in this session • How AI is shifting from isolated tools to integrated operating models • The economics of AI in healthcare: cost pressures, supply and demand dynamics, and ROI realities • What AI orchestration looks like in practice, and why it matters for scalability • How organizations move from fragmented point solutions to outcome-based systems • The role of infrastructure in making AI work across care settings This session offers a strategic look at how AI is reshaping healthcare operations, and what it takes to move from experimentation to sustainable, system-wide impact.
