Join us for a discussion with Nathaniel Arana, CEO of NGA Healthcare, as we explore the growing influence of private equity firms in the health care sector. Over the past decade, private equity has invested nearly $1 trillion in health care, reshaping the industry from fertility clinics to primary care and beyond. We’ll delve into the consequences of this shift, including the tragic case of Zion Gastelum, and discuss how profit-driven models impact patient care, physician autonomy, and overall health care quality. Nathaniel will share insights on economic pressures, legal challenges, and strategies for physician groups to maintain independence and negotiate better reimbursement rates.

Nathaniel Arana is CEO, NGA Healthcare.

He discusses the KevinMD article, “How physician groups can beat private equity.”

Our presenting sponsor is Nuance, a Microsoft company.

Together, Microsoft and Nuance are leveraging their rich digital technology and advanced AI capabilities to tackle some of health care’s biggest challenges. AI-driven technology promises to revolutionize patient and provider experiences with clinical documentation that writes itself.

The Nuance Dragon Ambient eXperience, or DAX for short, is a voice-enabled solution that automatically captures patient encounters securely and accurately at the point of care. DAX Copilot combines proven conversational and ambient AI with the most advanced generative AI in a mobile application that integrates directly with your existing workflows.

Physicians who use DAX have reported a 50 percent decrease in documentation time and a 70 percent reduction in feelings of burnout, and 85 percent of patients say their physician is more personable and conversational.
