R1 will also host a speaking session, “The New Mid-Cycle: How AI is Reshaping CDI + Coding,” and meet with attendees at the R1 Lounge to discuss revenue cycle transformation, improving clinical documentation, denials management and delivering operational outcomes through people and technology.
Phare OS, healthcare’s first revenue operating system powered by enterprise-grade AI, takes center stage
Driven by an expanding AI-native platform, the launch of new revenue cycle solutions and growing customer adoption, R1 is highlighting robust growth at the HFMA Annual Conference (AC26). At the center of this momentum is Phare OS, R1’s AI-powered revenue operating system, which unifies automation, artificial intelligence and human expertise across the revenue cycle to transform operations. The platform helps providers address rising administrative complexity and mounting margin pressure through a more connected, orchestrated, technology-first operating model.
As providers face mounting pressure to do more with less, reduce staff burden and improve enterprise-wide outcomes, R1 sees growing demand for connected operating models that can deliver measurable impact at scale. Aligned with the conference theme of “Dare to Solve,” R1 will showcase how it is helping providers improve financial performance, reduce administrative burden and capture the full value of the care they deliver.
Join R1 at its speaking session to discover how AI-powered technology is transforming the healthcare revenue cycle.
The New Mid-Cycle: How AI is Reshaping CDI + Coding
Monday, June 8, 2026
2:00 pm – 2:25 pm (ET)
Exhibit Hall: Capital Theater
Presenters:
Lee Kupferman, Co-CEO of R37 at R1
Sarah McGoldrick, EVP of Finance, Singing River Health System
Healthcare organizations are confronting a new kind of mid-cycle complexity defined by rising regulatory scrutiny, workforce shortages and the expanding clinical and financial nuance embedded in documentation and code assignment. As documentation and coding requirements grow more complex, many health systems are questioning how to build a connected mid-cycle that is more precise, proactive and resilient.
This session explores that opportunity, focusing on how emerging AI capabilities can bring greater consistency, clarity and collaboration to CDI and DRG workflows while supporting expert decision-making. Attendees will hear directly from leaders at R1 and Singing River, who will share practical insights into what comprehensive, end-to-end mid-cycle intelligence can look like—and how organizations can begin the transition from reactive review to predictive oversight.
Attendees can connect with R1 at the HFMA Annual Conference by visiting the R1 Lounge in the exhibit hall foyer, where live music, snacks and networking opportunities offer a welcome space to relax and meet colleagues and R1 experts. Attendees are invited to stop by to talk about revenue cycle transformation and operational performance strategies. Those wanting a deeper conversation are encouraged to book a meeting or request a demo in advance to make the most of their time onsite.
Introducing R1 and Done
R1 is also unveiling a new “R1 and Done” campaign at HFMA AC26. It’s a simple way to express some big ideas in healthcare revenue. Like the idea that providers should not have to solve the same problems again and again. That a 40% administrative overhead characterized by friction and churn should not be accepted as the norm. And that R1 is the one partner that brings together people, platform, intelligence and execution to deliver holistic, technology-led revenue operations and better financial outcomes.
R1’s participation at HFMA AC26 comes amid growing demand for its enterprise-grade technology solutions. At the event, R1 will showcase solutions that bring together technology, workflow and operational insight in a more cohesive way, including flexible denial solutions that combine AI-assisted technology, advanced analytics and expert clinicians to recover more revenue and help prevent future denials.
R1’s solutions underscore its continued investment in building a more connected foundation for revenue cycle operations. R1 offers an integrated approach designed to simplify administration, improve coordination and drive stronger financial and operational performance.
The future of revenue cycle transformation requires a connected operating model. R1 has been building that model deliberately and systematically and is excited to share its success with the dedicated healthcare finance professionals attending HFMA AC26.
