Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Industry Forum 2026

We’re reimagining oversight: From data to delivery in a changing healthcare landscape

At the 2026 CMS Industry Forum, Abt’s Zeamma Brathwaite and TJ Shumard will join discussions on how CMS can reduce fraud and improve delivery.

As CMS systems modernize, Abt meets mission with proven methods:

  • Advanced analytics that drive actionable insight. From payment models to program integrity, we apply AI and machine learning to make systems smarter, faster, and fairer.
  • Responsible AI and automation. We help design, test, and scale technology that strengthens outcomes without compromising accountability.
  • Cross-system coordination. We translate data into decisions by connecting insights across Medicare, Medicaid, and related systems.

We look forward to conversations on how industry and government can work together to strengthen oversight and better serve the American people.
