Webinar: Building Multiple Scalable Talent Pipelines in Healthcare, June 15

Healthcare systems can strengthen their workforce by partnering with schools to introduce students early to healthcare careers and create accessible training pathways, such as Allied Health certificates.

Attract new talent through social media and job sites while upskilling current employees to support career growth and improve retention.

Key Takeaways:

• Ide4as on how to build awareness of Healthcare careers to a younger audience,
• The value of building a completely connected pathway from High School to the Healthcare system, and
• The ability to scale a talent pipeline more quickly by targeting non-traditional candidates.

On-Demand Webinar: What the Data Says: A Candid Conversation on Healthcare Operations Today

Hospital operating margins closed out 2025 at an adjusted year-to-date rate of 1.3%, according to Kaufman Hall. At that threshold, a single operational inefficiency can quickly become a financial crisis.

This on-demand session offers a data-driven look at where health systems are struggling – and where early progress is being made.

Drawing from a pre-event survey of 70+ healthcare leaders and live polling conducted with executive, clinical and operational audiences, the conversation covers margin pressure and AI adoption in healthcare operations.

In this session, you will learn:

• Why financial pressure dominates as the top operational challenge, cited by 52% of surveyed leaders, and
• Where AI adoption is breaking down: 30% of executives cited prohibitive cost to scale as the primary obstacle.

Webinar: Inside the Prevention-First Revenue Integrity Model Reshaping CDI, June 25

Picture a CDI team that no longer spends most of its week reworking denied claims. Encounters are flagged for documentation risk while the patient is still being treated. Coders work cleaner cases. Finance can predict cash, not chase it.

That is the operating model AI is starting to make real. By surfacing risk in real time, AI is converting CDI from a retrospective review function into an upstream driver of revenue integrity.

In this live session, speakers will share what leading organizations are doing differently, the workflow changes producing the strongest measurable gains and how teams are building an ROI case finance leaders trust.

Learnings include:

• What a coordinated, prevention-first model looks like across CDI, coding and finance,
• How AI identifies high-risk encounters before denials are issued,
• The specific workflow shifts driving the strongest revenue integrity results, and
• How to build and communicate an ROI case using prevention-based metrics.

Webinar: Stabilizing High-Need Units and Facilities Through Targeted Workforce Strategies, June 18

Staffing challenges in healthcare are not evenly distributed, and the systems that recognize that are gaining ground.

In many organizations, a small number of units, departments or facilities drive a disproportionate share of vacancies, turnover and premium labor spend. Systemwide recruiting approaches were not designed for this reality. Without a targeted strategy, open roles linger, leaders stay in reactive mode and the downstream effects – on patient access, throughput and margin – compound quickly.

This session explores how cross-functional workforce strategies can help organizations stabilize high-need areas faster and more sustainably.

You will learn:

• How to identify where staffing challenges are most concentrated and where to prioritize resources,
• How targeted recruitment can shorten time-to-fill and reduce reliance on premium labor,
• How stabilizing critical roles supports patient access, throughput and revenue generation, and
• How workforce stabilization strengthens financial resilience and long-term sustainability.

On-Demand Webinar: When Humans + AI Actually Work (and When They Don’t)

AI is rapidly transforming utilization management – enabling faster case identification, earlier intervention and more consistent medical necessity decisions. But automation alone isn’t enough. Without clinical context and physician oversight, AI can introduce new risks alongside its benefits.

In this webinar, Dr. Jennifer Weinberg and Dr. Ronald Hirsch explore how leading organizations are using AI to enhance, not replace, clinical judgment, shifting utilization management from reactive denial defense to proactive clinical governance.

You’ll learn:

• Where AI delivers the most value in utilization management, and where clinical expertise remains essential,
• How AI enables earlier identification of payer risk to support proactive, defensible decision-making,
• Why the physician advisor role is evolving from reactive firefighter to strategic clinical leader, and
• A practical framework for balancing clinical defensibility and payer risk when prioritizing cases.

Webinar: Closing the Gap Between Workplace Violence Prevention Programs and Frontline Reality, June 18

Workplace violence prevention (WPV) has become a priority across healthcare, with organizations investing in committees, reporting processes, and formal programs. Yet despite this progress, many efforts focus solely on physical skills, without addressing staff readiness. Inconsistent adoption, competing priorities, and unclear ownership often limit how effectively these programs scale across departments and roles.

At the same time, staff experience tells a different story. Even as infrastructure expands, many healthcare professionals still don’t feel confident in their ability to respond in high-pressure situations. Persistent workforce strain, rising incidents, and post-pandemic burnout have made it harder for traditional approaches to keep up with the reality of day-to-day patient care.

In this live discussion, CPI will explore what’s changed – and what hasn’t – in workplace violence prevention. CPI will be joined by BJC HealthCare on how they’ve secured leadership buy-in and successfully scaled training across multiple hospitals and roles, building a more consistent, practical approach that strengthens both safety and staff confidence. You’ll hear about BJC’s specific strategies, and how they have shown proven results.

Learnings include:

• Why WPB programs often stall after initial rollout – and how to move beyond committee-driven approaches,
• How to scale role-based de-escalation training across hospitals and functions without disrupting operations (with insights from BJC),
• The role of staff confidence in effective de-escalation – and why “felt safety” matters as much as physical safeguards,
• How workforce strain and burnout are impacting safety outcomes – and what leading organizations are doing differently, and
• What it takes to build a sustainable, enterprise-wide approach that connects training, staff experience, and real-time response.

On-Demand Webinar: Operationalizing AI in Healthcare: From Framework to Real-World Workflows with Insights from Keck Medicine of USC

Ai adoption in healthcare is accelerating, but most organizations are still working through how to embed it into real workflows and decision-making in a consistent, scalable way.

This session introduces a practical framework for operationalizing AI – centered on how decision-making shifts between people and AI, how work must be reimagined and safely orchestrated, and how agentic automation enables that shift to deliver meaningful impact.

That framework is brought to life through a real-world example in claims resolution and denial prevention, where medical record summarization, intake, and appeal drafting are streamlined, enabling teams to focus on the highest-value cases. The result is faster revenue recovery, reduced rework, and more consistent execution across the appeals process. The session also features perspectives from Keck Medicine of USC on how they are approaching AI across their organization – including how they are setting direction, defining boundaries between AI and expert judgment and measuring ROI.
