Steve Valdiserri Identifies Three Shifts Reshaping the Back End of Healthcare Finance

Published

on

  • Traverse City executive Steve Valdiserri outlines the operational trends he sees accelerating across revenue cycle management, AI adoption, and value-based care performance in 2026 and beyond.

Healthcare Finance Is Changing Faster Than Most Organizations Are Ready For

Michigan, USA, 24th March 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — The back end of healthcare finance has historically been defined by manual processes, siloed data systems, and reporting volumes that require significant staff time to produce and interpret. Steve Valdiserri, SVP of Operations at Tally and Accurio and Founding Partner of Avanti Strategy Group, has spent the past year working at the intersection of these systems and the AI tools designed to replace or augment them. He identifies three shifts that healthcare executives and operators should be tracking closely.

Shift One: AI Adoption Is Moving from Strategy to Operationalization

The question in healthcare AI has shifted. Organizations are no longer asking whether AI belongs in revenue cycle or financial reporting. They are asking how to operationalize it within existing workflows and regulatory constraints. Valdiserri sees this as meaningful progress, though he notes that the distance between adopting a tool and realizing its financial benefit remains significant for most organizations. The gap is typically operational, not technological.

At Tally, where he leads operations, the focus is on building the infrastructure that allows AI automation to produce consistent results for organizations managing insurance verification, claims submission, AR follow-up, and financial reporting. The tool is only as effective as the operational environment it runs in.

Shift Two: Attribution Is Becoming a Recognized Strategic Priority in Value-Based Care

For years in value-based care, attribution management was treated as a technical function handled by data teams with limited connection to executive strategy or operations. Valdiserri has argued consistently that this framing understates its importance. The patient panel determines the performance baseline for every value-based care program. If attribution is broken, the downstream investment in care management, quality programs, and payer engagement produces less return than it should.

He notes a growing recognition among VBC leaders that attribution deserves a dedicated operational strategy, including systematic payer engagement and ongoing panel validation. The organizations beginning to treat it that way are seeing earlier identification of performance gaps and more accurate financial projections from their risk-based contracts.

Shift Three: Healthcare Finance Metrics Are Being Simplified, Not Expanded

Counter to the general trend toward more reporting, Valdiserri sees leading healthcare finance teams moving toward fewer, higher-quality metrics. The volume of data available to healthcare organizations has grown faster than the capacity to interpret it strategically. His view, developed across a decade of VBC operations and now applied in revenue cycle contexts, is that most organizations need a small number of metrics that describe financial health clearly rather than a comprehensive dashboard that requires significant analysis time to interpret.

For revenue cycle, his working framework focuses on AR days, write-off rate, and gross charge distribution as core indicators. Other metrics matter, but these three describe the financial condition of the business in terms that allow for direct operational response.

What These Shifts Mean for Healthcare Operators

Each of these shifts rewards organizations that prioritize operational discipline over technology adoption speed. AI tools deliver better results in organizations that have already clarified their processes. Attribution strategy produces better financial outcomes when it is connected to executive decision-making rather than siloed in analytics. Simplified metrics work when an organization has already done the harder work of understanding which numbers actually drive performance.

Valdiserri’s current work across Tally, Accurio, and Avanti Strategy Group reflects a consistent thesis: the organizations that will benefit most from the changes underway in healthcare finance are the ones that invest first in the operational foundations that make those changes productive.

Steve Valdiserri is a healthcare operations executive and entrepreneur based in Traverse City, Michigan. He serves as SVP of Operations at Tally and Accurio and as Founding Partner of Avanti Strategy Group. He previously held senior operational roles at VillageMD over approximately a decade.

Brodrick Spencer Outlines Seven Commitments for Building Educational Systems That Endure

Published

on

  • New York education and nonprofit leader Brodrick Spencer shares a practical framework for creating programs and institutions that serve communities long after their founders step away.

A Record Built on What Stays

New York, USA, 24th March 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — After nearly three decades working in classrooms, school buildings, and nonprofit operations, Brodrick Spencer has arrived at a clear standard for measuring professional impact. The programs and institutions a leader builds should continue functioning long after that leader has moved on. That idea, simple to state and difficult to execute, has guided his entire career.

Spencer currently serves as Southern California Director of Operations for the William Law Foundation, overseeing afterschool programs and childcare centers across Southern California. Before that, he spent thirteen years as a secondary principal in New York State and eight years as an assistant principal, leading schools in some of the state’s most challenging environments.

Seven Personal Commitments for Building Systems That Last

Spencer has distilled his approach to organizational sustainability into a set of personal commitments he applies consistently across every role:

  • Listen and observe before acting. Any system worth changing must first be understood.

  • Involve stakeholders in decision-making from the start. People support what they help to build.

  • Hold yourself accountable first. Accountability without self-application is not leadership.

  • Sequence change deliberately. Trying to fix everything at once overwhelms organizations and slows real progress.

  • Invest in developing people around you. Systems run on human capital. That capital must be built.

  • Use data honestly. Before-and-after metrics matter more than effort metrics.

  • Measure success by what continues without you. If the work stops when you leave, the work was never finished.

Why Systems Matter More Than Individuals

Spencer points to the instability many educational institutions face when leadership transitions occur. Programs collapse. Partnerships dissolve. Progress stalls. His view is that this is a structural problem, not simply a personnel one. Organizations that are built around individuals rather than systems are inherently fragile.

His response to that fragility has been practical. Develop assistant principals who can lead. Build partnerships with colleges and community organizations that survive staff changes. Create academic programs with enough institutional backing to continue through transitions.

Start with one commitment from the list above. Apply it consistently for 30 days. Then add another. The goal is not to change your entire organization immediately. The goal is to build practices that hold.

About Brodrick Spencer

Brodrick Spencer is the Southern California Director of Operations for the William Law Foundation, a nonprofit organization operating afterschool programs and childcare centers. He is a career educator with nearly three decades of experience in K-12 school leadership and nonprofit operations, based in New York. He holds a Master of Education from Howard University and a Bachelor of Arts from the University of California, Santa Barbara. More information is available at brodrickspencer.com.
