Continuing the NIC Chats series focused on value-based care, host Lisa McCracken welcomes Sarah Thomas — AgeTech advisor, and global innovator — for an illuminating deep dive into the transformative role of data and technology in senior living

Hear why value-based care demands a culture shift where data becomes a strategic asset, not just a compliance tool, and why embracing technology is an enabler for delivering personalized, predictive, and efficient care.
