A Private Dinner for Nephrology Leaders at RPA Hosted By Signals
About the event:
Running a profitable and growing nephrology practice today means juggling more complexity with fewer resources and new platforms. The staffing pressure, the call volume, the patient access challenges, VBC patient engagement difficulties, and questionable AI vendors.
Signals and Confido Health are hosting a private dinner for nephrology practice leaders, administrators and VBC executives. No panels. No pitches. Just a candid, off-the-record conversation over great food and drinks with the people who live these challenges every day.
Who is in the room:
Tech-forward Nephrology practice owners, VBC executives, COOs and Practice Administrators, and leading AI companies. If you are making or influencing operational and technology decisions for a growing nephrology organization, this dinner was built for you.
What we will dig into:
Where leading multi-site nephrology groups and dialysis programs are finding real leverage in scheduling, patient engagement, care gap closure, and VBC program success — and what's actually moving the needle on margin expansion, EBITDA improvement, and staff retention. How tools that complete work end-to-end deliver measurable staff relief and revenue improvement, while others just create more handoffs. And how operators running multi-location groups are making smarter technology bets without getting burned by overpromises.
