Convene Champions Secure, Agile Hospital Boards at AHA Leadership Summit 2025
NASHVILLE, Tennessee – Convene proudly wrapped up its participation in the 2025 American Hospital Association (AHA) Leadership Summit, held July 20–22, 2025 at the Nashville Music City Center. The summit brought together hospital and health system leaders from across the US to explore new strategies for innovation, financial resilience, and workforce transformation in healthcare.
Representing Convene were Lovely Peligrino (Global Marketing Manager), Craig Henderson (US Head of Sales), and Rene Lagemann (Account Executive). The team showcased how Convene’s board management software for hospitals enables boards to lead with confidence, speed, and transparency—especially in an environment where smart, informed leadership is more critical than ever.
A Board Solution for Hospital Leaders in a Time of Change
Throughout the summit, sessions like “Designing the Future of Care Delivery”, “Proactive Strategies to Counter Payer Denials and Delays”, and “From Reactive to Proactive: The Future of Clinical Documentation” highlighted how hospital boards are being called on to lead with greater foresight, financial discipline, and strategic clarity.
At the same time, discussions around population health, workforce burnout, and digital equity made one thing clear: effective governance now requires more than oversight, it requires the ability to act swiftly, align teams, and make high-stakes decisions with limited time and rising transformation.
However, outdated tools — email chains, static PDFs, manual prep — can’t support the level of vigilance and collaboration required.
This is exactly where a purpose-built board portal for healthcare makes the difference. Convene helps boards stay prepared, connected, and secure, so leaders can focus less on chasing documents and more on making the decisions that truly matter.
Built specifically for healthcare governance, Convene gives hospital boards:
- Secure, centralized access to materials
- Encrypted messaging and e-signatures
- Mobile tools for real-time updates and remote meetings
- Audit-ready workflows for compliance and transparency
Whether reviewing financial strategies, AI adoption plans, or crisis response playbooks, Convene ensures leaders are equipped to act with clarity and confidence.
Strengthening Trust Through Secure, Coordinated Care
The AHA 2025 Leadership Summit didn’t just explore bold ideas. It also confronted some of healthcare’s hardest questions: How do we keep patients safe in an increasingly digital world? How do we deliver high-quality care across systems, locations, and modalities, while protecting the trust our communities place in us?
Sessions like “Cybersecurity Tabletop Exercise for Hospital Leaders”, “Unified for Sepsis”, and “Hospital-at-Home and Telehealth” tackled these issues head-on. From digital breaches to data-sharing vulnerabilities, it’s clear that security, coordination, and rapid access to critical information aren’t just IT concerns — they’re board-level responsibilities that directly impact care outcomes.
That’s exactly where Convene’s board portal for hospitals supports leadership behind the scenes.
With features like role-based access controls, audit logs, encrypted communication, and centralized access to emergency plans and clinical protocols, Convene helps hospital boards and executives stay aligned—even when the pressure is high and time is short. Whether responding to a cyber incident, reviewing readiness reports, or approving protocols for home-based care, Convene ensures the right people have the right information, exactly when they need it.
