Why APG matters
The America’s Physician Groups (APG) Spring Conference is a key gathering for organizations leading the way in value-based care. Held in San Diego from May 14-16, this year’s conference brought together medical group executives, policy experts, and health tech leaders.
For Paubox, the event was an opportunity to connect with organizations striving to streamline care coordination while staying compliant and efficient.
From Medicare Advantage discussions to whole-person care models, the conversations at APG reinforced the need for secure, modern communication tools in value-based delivery.
