A Revolutionary Vision for American Healthcare Transformation: CMS‘s Roadmap for Now and the Future

The US healthcare system stands at an unprecedented inflection point where technology serves as the catalyst that will revolutionize the patient-provider relationship, eliminate bureaucratic burden, combat fraud and waste, and restore America's health to greatness. At HIMSS26, we are honored to welcome Dr. Mehmet Oz, Administrator for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), whose transformative leadership is redefining the future of U.S. healthcare. As the 17th Administrator of the nation's largest healthcare agency—overseeing a $1.7 trillion budget and serving more than 160 million Americans—Dr. Oz brings an unparalleled combination of clinical expertise, business acumen, and visionary leadership to this critical moment in healthcare history.

Join us for an exclusive fireside chat session where Dr. Oz, joined by Amy Gleason, Acting Administrator of U.S. DOGE Service & Strategic Advisor to CMS, and Kim Brandt, CMS Deputy Administrator & Chief Operating Officer, will unveil CMS's groundbreaking strategies to empower patients through unprecedented access to their health data and transparent pricing, drive revolutionary advances in prevention and chronic disease management that will save lives and billions in healthcare costs, reshape the economic paradigm of care delivery through radical transparency and data democratization for patients and clinicians across all care settings, and eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse through cutting-edge artificial intelligence and advanced analytics.

Under Dr. Oz's dynamic leadership, CMS has already launched transformative initiatives that are reshaping healthcare delivery, including the CMS Interoperability Framework that breaks down data silos and unleashes the power of connected care, AI-powered programmatic efficiencies that leverage artificial intelligence to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse while optimizing care delivery, and a new patient-provider partnership model that empowers Americans to take control of their health journey with unprecedented access to information and choice. These bold actions embody the Administration's "Make America Healthy Again" agenda and represent a seismic shift toward a healthcare system that truly serves patients, providers, and the American people.
