Whitepaper: Agentic AI in Healthcare: The Transformational Impact & How to Prepare

Traditional automation has improved efficiency, but it remains limited by static rules and predefined workflows.

As operational complexity increases, leaders are expected to make faster, more accurate decisions across revenue cycle, care delivery and population health – often without the real-time insights required to do so. Manual exception handling, delayed claims processing and fragmented data continue to strain both provider and payer organizations.

Agentic AI introduces a different model.

By operating autonomously within defined processes, learning from new information and adapting to changing conditions, agentic AI extends beyond conventional RPA and generative AI. It can analyze large datasets, identify patterns and guide evidence-based strategies across departments.

However, successful implementation requires careful attention to data security, transparency, workforce readiness and governance structures.

This report outlines how healthcare leaders can move from experimentation to structured adoption.

Key takeaways include:

  • The defining characteristics that differentiate agentic AI from traditional AI and automation,
  • Real-world provider and payer applications that improve operational and financial performance,
  • Risks leaders must address, including security, oversight and workforce training, and
  • A step-by-step preparation roadmap, from pilots to enterprise integration.

Webinar: The Hidden Patient Safety Risk at Discharge, March 17

February 24, 2026

Webinar: The Hidden Patient Safety Risk at Discharge, March 17

Discharge is one of the most legally and clinically vulnerable moments in care – especially for multilingual patients.

When instructions are unclear, inconsistently translated or poorly integrated into documentation workflows, the consequences extend beyond confusion. Health systems face increased risk of medication errors, non-adherence, preventable readmissions and compliance exposure.

Health systems often depend on translation tools that were not designed for healthcare. These tools can miss context, misinterpret terminology and create gaps between discharge documentation and patient understanding.

In this live discussion, Albert Villarin, MD, vice president and chief medical informatics officer of Nuvance-Northwell Health, shares how his organization is approaching discharge communication risk and what health system leaders should consider when modernizing multilingual workflows.

Key takeaways include:

  • Why discharge communication failures disproportionately impact multilingual populations,
  • Where general-purpose translation tools break down in clinical workflows,
  • How health systems can strengthen documentation integrity for multilingual discharge instructions, and
  • Governance, security and compliance considerations for managing multilingual patient data.

Webinar: Strategic Readiness for Aging Populations: How Health Systems are Preparing, March 3

February 24, 2026

Webinar: Strategic Readiness for Aging Populations: How Health Systems are Preparing, March 3

Aging populations are accelerating demand for neurological care, pushing health systems to rethink how and when they identify cognitive decline.

Traditional assessment models rely heavily on cognitive testing and structural imaging, which can limit visibility into early or functional change. As volumes rise and access tightens, this lack of clarity can create downstream strain across neurology, care coordination and utilization.

In this webinar, leaders from Encompass Health, HCA Healthcare, and CommonSpirit examine how functional brain assessment can complement existing tools to support earlier, more confident clinical decision making. The discussion will focus on where current models break down and how executives can evaluate emerging diagnostic technologies through a clinical, operational and strategic lens.

Speakers will explore how earlier insight into brain function can help guide next-step care, prioritize referrals and support clearer pathways as health systems prepare for the next decade of brain health demand.

Insights include:

  • How aging-driven growth in cognitive conditions is creating systemwide clinical and operational pressure,
  • Where cognitive tests and structural imaging leave gaps in early or functional assessment,
  • How functional brain assessment can support risk stratification and treatment planning, and
  • What leaders should consider when building a long-term brain health strategy

Whitepaper: The Critical Balance: How Hospital Medicine Aligns Patient Acuity and System Capacity to Protect Access to Care

American hospitals face an unprecedented convergence of crises threatening patient access to care. Hospital occupancy has surged to 755 – an 11-percentage-point increase from pre-pandemic levels – and is projected to reach a critical 85% threshold by 2032. At the same time, observation patient volumes continue to rise while inpatient days decline, and health care faces a projected shortage of 187,130 physicians by 2037.

These challenges are not isolated problems – they are interconnected symptoms of a health care system struggling to balance two fundamental imperatives: acuity management and capacity management.

In this white paper, Roldolphe Taby, MD, Executive Vice President and Chief Medical Officer of Hospital and Critical Care Medicine at SCP Health, examines how hospital medicine can transform these converging crises into opportunities through strategic leadership at the intersection of clinical operations and system capacity.

Read to learn more about how hospitalists can orchestrate the critical balance between patient acuity and system capacity including:

  • Length of stay optimization that creates virtual capacity without construction costs or additional staffing.
  • Standardized observation medicine pathways that reduce care variation while improving patient throughput.
  • Strategic workforce deployment that aligns clinician skillsets and scopes of practice with patient needs.
  • The virtuous cycle where better acuity management drives optimized capacity management, and vice versa.

Hospital medicine is uniquely positioned to balance acuity and capacity management, turning operational pressures into opportunities for strategic growth and improved performance.
