Dubai, UAE | September 2, 2026 — Insights Success Media is set to host an exclusive Executive Exchange at the Metropolitan Hotel, Dubai, bringing together senior healthcare leaders for a closed round table discussion on “Beyond DRGs: Building a Sustainable, Value-Based and Patient-Centered Healthcare Model.” The session will be hosted by Mr. Mario Espino, Founder, Chairman & CEO, Complete Care Management Services (CCMS), USA, a seasoned healthcare leader with extensive experience in care management, population health, value-based care, and healthcare technology.
Exploring Healthcare Beyond Traditional Models
The Executive Exchange will provide a focused platform for healthcare executives to discuss how organizations can move Beyond DRGs and develop healthcare models that place greater emphasis on value, quality, measurable outcomes, sustainability, care coordination, and patient experience.
As healthcare systems continue to navigate rising costs, evolving reimbursement structures, technological advancements, and increasing expectations for better outcomes, the shift from volume-based healthcare toward value-based models has become increasingly important. The round table will encourage an exchange of perspectives on creating sustainable approaches that benefit patients, providers, and healthcare organizations.

Espino began his healthcare career in his early twenties, working across ancillary Part B services and home health. Throughout his career, he has pioneered healthcare initiatives, established a major international nurse recruiting company, and worked with organizations seeking to develop comprehensive care-management and population-health strategies.
