From Access to Outcomes: The Technology Layer Powering the Next Era of Behavioral Health

Chris Vernaci | AVP, Technology Ventures | Universal Health Services, Inc.

As behavioral health organizations scale, technology is no longer “nice to have”—it’s becoming the operating layer that supports access, consistency, and proof. This keynote explores how leading operators are using technology and AI in practical ways across the business: strengthening intake and scheduling workflows, reducing friction in documentation and utilization management, improving revenue cycle visibility, and building credible outcomes measurement that payers and capital providers trust. Attendees will leave with a grounded view of what’s actually working, where organizations are seeing real ROI, and how to evaluate technology investments that support growth without adding complexity.
