PointClickCare SUMMIT 2025 is officially a wrap, and we’re back from Vegas with a roundup of the biggest highlights and announcements from the show.
The market-leading senior care EHR’s 12th annual SUMMIT brought together over 2,000 of the industry’s top professionals to connect, learn, and advance care together.
PointClickCare CEO Dave Wessinger kicked things off with an opening keynote on the current transformation unfolding across healthcare, which is accelerating faster than anyone expected due to the convergence of three factors:
- The shift in payment models from fee-for-service to value-based care
- Massive changes in how we gather, access, and act on data
- Continued workforce pressures across all healthcare settings
Wessinger hammered home this year’s theme of Advancing Care Together with a heartfelt message to attendees: “Only when we have true collaboration are we able to make meaningful change in our industry and for the populations we serve.”
Chief Product Officer B.J. Boyle took to the mainstage to unveil one of the biggest announcements from the show: PCC’s new partnership with Microsoft Dragon Copilot to create a proof of concept for ambient scribes, particularly in nursing.
- While ambient AI is popular in ambulatory settings, it hasn’t been fine-tuned for the skilled nursing sector, a challenge that the new collaboration aims to change.
Other big announcements from the show included Inovalon debuting its Safety Management solution on the PointClickCare Marketplace – allowing post-acute providers to easily track, investigate, and respond to incidents – as well as senior care IT company Integrated Health Systems’ new PCC integration to streamline User Account Provisioning.
Chief Revenue Officer James Yersh followed up with a customer panel exploring value-based care as we chart the path to 2030. Key takeaways included:
- CMS’s 2030 vision is already in motion, with early adopters seeing real benefits
- Success depends on strong partnerships, data sharing, and aligned incentives
- Strategic investments in tech, care coordination, and policy are essential
- By 2030, success will be measured by quality outcomes, not volume
SVP Acute & Payer Markets Brian Drozdowicz hosted a fantastic “Transitions Today with Droz” panel diving into real-world examples from organizations driving innovation in care transitions.
- PCC recently debuted a new Transitions of Care solution to deliver real-time admission and discharge insights to help improve quality performance through better care coordination, and it was apparent from the panel that this is where the puck is headed.
- Droz led a great discussion on how acute care facilities can collaborate to improve the quality of transitions through seamless data sharing and communication, featuring some impressive outcomes from Ascension Illinois and Texas Health Services Authority.
The icing on the SUMMIT cake was a surprisingly hilarious fireside chat between CMO Annie McBride and actor Rob Lowe, who shared candid lessons from his own caregiving journey, as well as his regrettable decision to turn down the role of McDreamy in Grey’s Anatomy for a short-lived stint as one-season-wonder “Dr. Vegas.”
