Real Time Medical Systems Highlights New Leadership, AI Solutions, and Expanded Partnership at NAACOS Spring 2026
Real Time Medical Systems (Real Time), a KLAS-rated and HITRUST R2 Certified leader in post-acute care analytics, announced today its participation in the National Association of ACOs (NAACOS) Spring 2026 Conference, scheduled for April 22–24, 2026, in Baltimore, Maryland. The event brings together accountable care organization (ACO) executives, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) stakeholders, policymakers, and healthcare innovators to discuss the evolving landscape of value-based care, regulatory expectations, and strategies to improve patient outcomes across the care continuum.
At this year’s conference, Real Time will highlight its AI-driven interventional analytics platform designed specifically to enhance visibility into post-acute care settings. The company plans to demonstrate key capabilities, including TEAM Insights and its Value-Based Care Dashboard, which provide near real-time clinical intelligence across skilled nursing facilities, long-term care environments, and post-hospital discharge pathways. These tools are intended to help ACOs identify at-risk patients earlier, reduce hospital readmissions, shorten lengths of stay, and improve coordination between hospitals and post-acute providers.
As healthcare systems continue to transition toward value-based reimbursement models, post-acute care has emerged as one of the most challenging and financially significant components of population health management. Patients transitioning from acute hospitals to skilled nursing facilities or rehabilitation centers often experience fragmented communication, delayed clinical updates, and inconsistent care coordination. Real Time’s analytics platform aims to address these gaps by delivering actionable insights that enable care teams to intervene proactively rather than reactively.
The timing of Real Time’s participation at NAACOS Spring 2026 also coincides with a strategic leadership expansion within the company. Earlier this year, Real Time appointed Anthony Reed as Vice President of Strategic Partnerships. Reed brings extensive experience in accountable care operations, population health management, and value-based care transformation. His appointment reflects the company’s continued focus on deepening engagement with ACOs and strengthening its role within the broader accountable care ecosystem.
Reed is widely recognized within the healthcare policy and ACO community, having served for six years on the NAACOS Board of Directors, including a term as Board Chair in 2023. During his tenure, he contributed to shaping national policy discussions on alternative payment models, shared savings programs, and care delivery innovation. His experience provides him with a detailed understanding of both the operational challenges and strategic priorities facing ACOs in the current healthcare environment.
Speaking ahead of the conference, Reed emphasized the importance of timely clinical visibility beyond the hospital setting. According to him, post-acute care remains one of the most complex and high-risk segments within the ACO model due to fragmented data flows and delayed access to patient information. He noted that effective population health management depends on the ability to act quickly when patients transition across care settings.
Reed explained that Real Time’s platform addresses this need by offering continuous, data-driven visibility into patient status within post-acute environments. By aggregating and analyzing clinical data in real time, the platform enables care teams to identify deterioration risks earlier, coordinate interventions more efficiently, and reduce avoidable hospital utilization. He highlighted that this capability is essential for ACOs aiming to succeed under increasingly performance-driven reimbursement frameworks.
Before joining Real Time, Reed served as Chief Administrative Officer of Geisinger’s Keystone Accountable Care Organization, where he oversaw strategy, compliance, operations, and financial performance for a Medicare population of approximately 78,000 members. In that role, he helped lead initiatives focused on improving care coordination, optimizing cost efficiency, and enhancing quality outcomes across diverse patient populations. His background also includes senior leadership positions in multi-state health systems, where he supported large-scale population health programs and value-based care initiatives.
Jim Staska, Executive Vice President of Real Time Medical Systems, emphasized that Reed’s addition strengthens the company’s strategic positioning within the accountable care space. He noted that NAACOS serves as a critical forum where healthcare leaders share best practices and develop solutions to some of the most pressing challenges in value-based care delivery.
Staska highlighted that Reed’s direct experience in building and operating high-performing ACOs brings practical insight to Real Time’s mission. His understanding of post-acute risk management, clinical workflows, and reimbursement structures enables the company to better align its analytics solutions with the operational realities faced by healthcare organizations. According to Staska, this alignment is essential for helping ACOs navigate increasingly complex care environments while maintaining financial and clinical performance.
In addition to its conference participation, Real Time Medical Systems will also collaborate with healthcare data and analytics company Innovaccer to co-host two exclusive networking events during NAACOS Spring 2026. These events are designed to foster collaboration among ACO leaders, clinical executives, and healthcare innovators focused on advancing value-based care transformation.
The first event, titled the NAACOS Spring 2026 Networking Dinner, will take place on April 22, 2026, from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. Eastern Time at The Bygone restaurant located within the Four Seasons Baltimore. Positioned as an opening-night gathering, the dinner will bring together senior executives and healthcare leaders for informal discussions overlooking Baltimore’s Inner Harbor. The event is intended to create a relaxed environment for exchanging ideas on care coordination, risk management, and population health strategies.
The second event, NAACOS Spring 2026 After Hours, is scheduled for April 23, 2026, from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. Eastern Time. The location will be disclosed upon registration, and the gathering is designed as a more intimate post-conference session. It will provide attendees with an opportunity to continue conversations initiated during the day’s sessions, deepen professional relationships, and explore collaborative opportunities in accountable care innovation.
Both events reflect the growing emphasis on partnership and cross-sector collaboration within the ACO community. As value-based care models mature, organizations are increasingly relying on integrated data platforms, shared insights, and strategic alliances to achieve improved patient outcomes and cost efficiency. Real Time and Innovaccer’s joint hosting of these events underscores this broader trend toward ecosystem-driven healthcare transformation.
During the NAACOS Spring 2026 Conference itself, Real Time will be present at exhibit table #19, where attendees can explore the company’s latest advancements in post-acute care analytics. Demonstrations will focus on how real-time data visibility supports earlier clinical intervention, reduces unnecessary hospital utilization, and strengthens overall performance under value-based care contracts.
The company’s platform is positioned as a decision-support tool that bridges the information gap between acute and post-acute care settings. By delivering continuous updates on patient conditions and care trajectories, it enables ACOs to proactively manage high-risk individuals and coordinate care more effectively across nursing facilities, hospitals, and outpatient providers.
As healthcare systems continue to evolve under increasing regulatory and financial pressures, tools that enhance data transparency and care coordination are becoming central to ACO success. Real Time Medical Systems’ participation at NAACOS Spring 2026 reflects both the company’s growing influence in the accountable care space and the broader industry shift toward technology-enabled, value-based healthcare delivery.
Through its platform innovations, leadership engagement, and strategic partnerships, Real Time aims to support ACOs in achieving improved clinical outcomes, reducing avoidable costs, and building more connected and efficient care networks across the post-acute continuum.
