ViVE 2025 Reflections: The Future of Healthcare is Now

By Lauren Holloway, Director of Brand Advocacy

ViVE 2025 wasn't just another healthcare conference-it was a pulse check on where the industry stands today and where it's headed. One key takeaway echoed across every conversation: the future of healthcare isn't about ideas-it's about action.

At The Garage, we've always believed in data-driven transformation. ViVE reaffirmed our commitment to Value-Based Care (VBC), the Quintuple Aim, and AI-powered innovation.

Here's what stood out:

Leveraging the Quintuple Aim to Drive Value-Based Care

Many discussions at ViVE centered around innovation, but the real question remains: Are we aligning technology with purpose?

ViVE reinforced that a data-first approach must be intentional and outcome-driven-focusing not only on cost reduction and efficiency but also on provider well-being and health equity.

Delivering Actionable Insights with Tiny, Tasty Morsels

Healthcare doesn't need more data - it needs the right data at the right time. That's why we introduced Tiny, Tasty Morsels - bite-sized, actionable insights that cut through the noise. Rather than overwhelming care teams with complex dashboards and excessive data points, we champion:

• A unified, inclusive hub for real-time insights across the healthcare ecosystem
• Universal data sharing that enhances collaboration
• A digital front door that streamlines workflows and improves outcomes

Simply put, healthcare doesn't need more data. It needs the right data at the right time, in the right format, for the right decisions.

Is Specialty Care the Missing Piece in Value-Based Care?

With specialty care accounting for over 60% of total healthcare costs, its integration into Value-Based Care (VBC) is crucial for long-term success. Yet, fragmentation and misaligned incentives have slowed progress.

At ViVE's Value-Based Care Insights Forum, the discussion focused on:

• Better care coordination to close gaps between primary and specialty care
• Data-driven insights to enable proactive interventions
• Innovative reimbursement models that align incentives and improve patient outcomes

As new models from CMMI and emerging specialty-focused solutions gain traction, the question isn't if specialty care belongs in value-based care - but how we integrate it effectively.

The Removal of the VBC Pavilion and What it Says about the Industry

One of the most telling moments at ViVE 2025 was the quiet removal of the Value-Based Care Pavilion due to low participation. While VBC has been positioned as the future of healthcare, the hesitation to invest in it reveals ongoing uncertainty, financial challenges, and the need for clearer ROI.

At the same time, the VBC Insights Program saw strong engagement, proving that the industry is still invested in these conversations. The challenge? Moving from discussion to implementation. At The Garage, we're not waiting for VBC to prove itself. We're proving that it can scale, sustain, and drive real outcomes.

The Power of Actionable Data & AI in Value-Based Care

ViVE 2025 made one thing clear: AI is no longer an experiment-it's here, and it's changing healthcare. However, AI is only as effective as the data behind it. Without high-quality data and actionable insights, AI is just another tool-not a transformation.

That's why our Bridge platform and Blaze CoPilot AI are designed to:

• Turn AI from hype into real, scalable solutions
• Ensure data integrity for meaningful, AI-driven insights
• Automate workflows to reduce administrative burden
• Improve patient outcomes without added complexity

The future of healthcare isn't just about AI; it's about AI done right. And that starts with the right data, the right insights, and the right action.

Looking Ahead: The Road to Impact

Leaving ViVE 2025, our biggest takeaway is clear: The time for waiting is over. The time for action is now. What's next for The Garage?

• Scaling VBC impact across the country through Bridge and Blaze CoPilot AI
• Strengthening partnerships that make a real difference
• Delivering real results and impact - not just industry buzzwords

While the industry debates the future of value-based care, we're already making it a reality. The question is, are you ready?

Let's take action together. Schedule a demo and see how we're making change happen.
