What We Took Away from the 2026 Alliance Financial & Technology Summit

This week, we packed up and headed to Boston for the National Alliance for Care at Home Financial & Technology Conference, and we left with a lot on our minds.

We spent three days talking with home health and hospice leaders, finance folks, technology vendors, and everyone in between. And if there was one thing that tied every conversation together, it was this: the home-based care industry is at a real inflection point.

Themes that are more important than ever

AI dominated a lot of the discussion this year, and for good reason. Agencies are under more pressure than ever to do more with less, and technology is starting to offer some real answers. Data and analytics, revenue cycle optimization, interoperability, Medicare Advantage strategy, workforce retention, and regulatory readiness were all over the agenda.

But what stood out wasn't any single topic. It was how seriously people are taking these challenges. The conversations we had at booth #111 weren't surface level. People wanted to dig in, compare notes, and figure out what's actually working.

That's the kind of industry we want to be part of.

What Olli is doing about it

At Olli Health, we work with home health and hospice agencies on coding and OASIS review. We pair purpose-built AI with certified coders and QA specialists so agencies get faster turnaround, better accuracy, and a lot less stress on their clinical teams. We're CHAP Verified, which means our processes have been independently reviewed and validated against industry standards.

A lot of what we heard at the Summit lines up with what our customers are already dealing with day to day: pressure on reimbursement, documentation burden, finding and keeping qualified coders. These aren't abstract problems. They show up in your bottom line and in your staff's workload.

We built Olli to help with exactly that.

The part that doesn't show up on slides

Conferences like this are a good reminder that the home health industry is genuinely full of people who care. Not in a buzzword way, in a real way. Providers sharing what's working, asking hard questions, looking out for their patients and their teams.

We had conversations in hallways, over coffee, and right there at the booth that we're still thinking about. That's not something you get from a webinar or a white paper.

Until next time

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to say hello, catch up, or just take a minute between sessions. We're grateful to be part of this community and we're already looking forward to the next one.

If you didn't get a chance to connect with us in Boston and want to talk through what we do, we'd love to hear from you.
