Webinar: Healthcare at a Crossroads: Using Concierge Medicine to Strengthen Revenue, Retention + Patient Satisfaction, March 5

February 6, 2026

Webinar: Healthcare at a Crossroads: Using Concierge Medicine to Strengthen Revenue, Retention + Patient Satisfaction, March 5

Health systems are seeking practical ways to enhance revue, improve physician satisfaction, increase patient satisfaction and retain top talent without disrupting existing business structures.

Flexible concierge medicine programs are emerging as a way to achieve these aims. These programs operate alongside traditional practice structures, allowing organizations to add a new revenue stream while preserving current workflows, staffing and governance – while also addressing growing patient demand for connectivity, continuity and more personalized care.

This session offers an overview of how healthcare organizations are offering membership medicine as an optional service. Patients can choose to remain traditional patients or opt into a membership based on their preferences, creating flexibility for both patients and practices and supporting higher patient satisfaction through choice and experience.

The session will also explore how increased physician satisfaction contributes directly to stronger patient relationships, recruitment, retention and financial performance. Leaders will gain clarity on how concierge programs fit within large medical groups and health systems without requiring restructuring or limiting participation to primary care.

Key takeaways include:

  • How flexible concierge programs enhance revenue while improving patient satisfaction – without changing business structure,
  • Why optional membership models appeal to patients seeking greater continuity,
  • How physician satisfaction supports better patient experiences, recruitment, retention and practice stability, and
  • Where concierge medicine fits within large, integrated healthcare organizations.

The Patient Assumptions Health Systems Can’t Rely on Anymore

February 6, 2026

The Patient Assumptions Health Systems Can’t Rely on Anymore

For decades, many health systems operated with a foundational assumption: Patients would follow clinical guidance, choose care based on proximity and accept a hospital or physician’s recommendations largely without questions.

That reality is gone.

Today’s patients are more informed, more skeptical and more digitally empowered. They are far more likely to evaluate care the way they evaluate almost everything else in their lives – by searching, comparing, listening to peers, and prioritizing experience and trust.

As Devika Mathrani, chief marketing and communications officer of New York City-based NewYork Presbyterian, told Becker’s, “That reality no longer exists – there is much more trust-but-verify.”

Across the industry, that shift is forcing marketing leaders to rethink not only messaging and channels but also the very role marketing plays in shaping the consumer experience.

Webinar: Advancing Primary Care: Workforce Challenges, Policy Shifts, and the Role of AI, March 3

Primary care is entering a pivotal moment of evolution. Persistent workforce shortages, rising costs, and uneven access, felt most acutely in rural and underserved communities continue to be significant challenges driving the need to make a change. According to the Healthcare Spending Survey, 42% of Americans have skipped needed medications due to cost, and 58% could not afford an ambulance if needed – compounding staffing shortages in underserved areas and accelerating the need for new care delivery models.

At the same time, policymakers are advancing funding models and regulatory shifts designed to strengthen and modernize primary care. For health systems, this convergence creates a rare opportunity to address long-standing challenges while building more resilient, scalable models for the future.

This webinar explores how people, policy, and emerging technologies, specifically AI, are converging to reshape the future of primary care. Automating administrative tasks with AI has already shown to reduce clinician cognitive load and free up time for patient care. Imagine how primary care might transform further with agentic AI as an extension of the care team.

Join the discussion and:

  • Gain insight into the latest primary care workforce and cost trends, and discuss why adding headcount won’t solve all the challenges,
  • Understand how recent and proposed policy initiatives, including expanded ACA funding, rural health transformation programs, and national AI-focused deregulation efforts are shaping the care landscape,
  • Distinguish critical differences between generative and agentic AI, as we explain why that difference matters for operational scalability, and
  • Learn about practical use cases that reduce administrative burden, support clinicians, and extend care capacity.

Designed for healthcare executives and innovation leaders, this session will provide a pragmatic roadmap for leveraging policy tailwinds and AI-enable solutions to strengthen primary care, building a more sustainable foundation for the future.

Whitepaper: The Hidden Revenue Loss Hospitals Rarely See Until It’s Too Late

February 6, 2026

Whitepaper: The Hidden Revenue Loss Hospitals Rarely See Until It’s Too Late

Hospitals focus heavily on denials, but denials are only part of the problem.

Across the U.S., hospitals are losing missions each year to incomplete or inconsistent documentation that understates the true complexity of care delivered. Beyond visible denials lies a larger, quieter margin gap: the “Silent Payer Discount,” where earned revenue is quietly forfeited because documentation fails to fully support severity of illness or intensity of services.

This whitepaper examines how denials and the Silent Payer Discount stem from the same root cause: breakdowns in the mid-revenue cycle, where clinical insight, coding accuracy and compliance must align before billing.

Drawing on data from hundreds of hospitals, the report outlines how organizations are closing this gap by strengthening documentation accuracy upstream before claims ever reach the payer.

Inside the whitepaper:

  • How mid-revenue cycle breakdowns drive both denials and underpayment,
  • Where documentation gaps most commonly trigger revenue loss, and
  • How clinically governed review models are improving accuracy before billing.
