Key themes

What Vilnius 2026 brought into focus

The Congress highlighted the evolving role of hospital and healthcare managers in leading transformation across complex, people-centred and increasingly digital health systems.

Hospitals as networks

Hospitals are increasingly part of wider networks of care, requiring leaders to manage beyond institutional boundaries.

Integration as discipline

Real integration depends on processes, people, technology and territorial governance.

Workforce and leadership

Workforce shortages make retention, collaboration, well-being and leadership capacity central management priorities.

Digital transformation

AI and digital tools create value only when translated into workflows, accountability and management practice.
