Webinar: Price Transparency, Done Right: Putting Medication Access in Patients’ Hands, July 16

Real-time medication price transparency is no longer a someday ambition. As of 2025, 75 percent of hospitals had integrated real-time prescription benefit information for at least some payers, according to federal and CMS has required Medicare Part D plans to support these tools since 2021.

This fireside chat takes that question head-on. Rather than staying at the vision level, the conversation digs into what real transparency requires at the point of care, where the friction lives and what it takes to put cost and access information directly in patients’ hands without straining the provider-patient relationship.

In this 6o minute session, you’ll learn:

  • What real-time medication price transparency looks like when it works for every party,
  • How to surface cost and access information without disrupting the provider-patient relationship, and
  • Where the operational incentive tensions live, and how leaders are navigating them.

Webinar: Beyond the Bottleneck: How Health Systems are Improving Access, Flow and Care Continuity, July 30

July 10, 2026

Webinar: Beyond the Bottleneck: How Health Systems are Improving Access, Flow and Care Continuity, July 30

Crowded Eds, delayed discharges, clinician shortages and rising financial pressure are squeezing health systems from every direction. For years the answer was to add capacity. In most markets, that is no longer realistic.

This panel brings together executives from Vituity, Mayo Clinic Laboratories, Houston Methodist, City of Hope and Hospital Sisters Health System to discuss a smarter path: redesigning care delivery across the continuum – emergency departments, hospital medicine, ambulatory follow-up, behavioral health, virtual care and community partnerships.

The conversation moves past dashboards to the operational, clinical and workforce alignment that actually moves patients through a system. Leaders will share where flow breaks down, what separates real improvement from cosmetic fixes and how to design care models around the workforce they actually have.

Learnings Include:

  • Why access is now an enterprise strategy, not a department problem,
  • How to align physician groups, nursing, case management and post-acute partners around shared throughput goals,
  • Site-of-care strategies – observation, telehealth, behavioral health pathways – that keep avoidable volume out of constrained settings, and
  • Where the handoffs between settings turn strategy into a readmission, and how leaders close those gaps.

Cost: Free

When: Thursday, July 30, 1:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m.

On-Demand Webinar: From Silos to Situational Awareness: Advancing Perinatal Care with Cloud and AI

July 10, 2026

On-Demand Webinar: From Silos to Situational Awareness: Advancing Perinatal Care with Cloud and AI

Labor and delivery units demand more from clinicians than almost any other care setting. Data is constant, decisions are immediate, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. Yet documentation burden, workflow gaps, and variability in care continue to challenge teams already operating at their limits.

This on-demand webinar brings together panelists from GE HealthCare, HCA Healthcare, and AWS to spotlight their combined efforts to reimagine perinatal digital support. Discussion explores how cross-industry collaboration enables digital innovation designed to fit clinical workflows – not complicate them. Through real-world experience, panelists share how cloud-based platforms, interoperable data, and clinician-led design can help reduce cognitive burden, improve consistency in fetal monitoring, and support scalable, future-ready care delivery.

Key Learnings:

  • How real-time data and unified views improve situational awareness in labor and delivery,
  • Strategies to reduce documentation burden and cognitive overload for clinical teams,
  • The role of clinician co-design in driving adoption and long-term success, and
  • Best practices for implementing digital and AI tools while minimizing IT friction.

Webinar: AI Go-Live is a Milestone, Not the Finish Line, July 15

Webinar: AI Go-Live is a Milestone, Not the Finish Line, July 15

Most health systems can launch an AI pilot. Far fewer turn that early momentum into measurable, organization wide results.

The first months after deployment are where it’s decided. Measurement choices, workflow friction and change management either embed AI into daily work or let enthusiasm quietly fade.

This session brings candid lessons from leaders who have lived the “now what” phase of AI. They will share the signals that actually matter in the early months, the friction points no one warns you about and the governance moves that keep patient care and staff experience front and center.

You will hear from executives at different stages of their AI journey on how they assessed early performance, course-corrected without disrupting operations and built a roadmap for sustainable expansion.

Learnings include:

  • Early indicators that your deployment is working, and what to do when it is not,
  • Where value commonly leaks after go-live, and how to close the gaps before they worsen,
  • Practical tactics to drive staff adoption and reduce pushback on busy units, and
  • How to build feedback loops that turn quick wins into a scalable, governed roadmap.

On-Demand Webinar: Million Dollar Data: Why ‘Interoperability’ isn’t Solving Your Records Problem – and What Will

July 10, 2026

On-Demand Webinar: Million Dollar Data: Why ‘Interoperability’ isn’t Solving Your Records Problem – and What Will

Imagine complete patient records from any U.S. provider arriving as clean, structured, normalized data, no phone calls, no faxes, no staff buried in reconciling charts. For most organizations, that reality is still out of reach.

It doesn’t have to be. The gap isn’t connectivity; it’s usability, quality and ownership. Close it, and the gains compound across patient access, clinician and patient satisfaction, and the data quality every AI initiative depends on.

Consider what’s at stake today: clinical teams spend an estimated 40% of their time chasing and reconciling charts, and roughly 50% of records stay trapped in systems that never push to an exchange. In this on-demand webinar, the founding team behind a health information management company explains why true interoperability remains a myth, and what it takes to retrieve and transform those records into something clinicians can actually use.

Watch to see how health systems can close the gap between having data and using it.

Learning Points:

  • Why current interoperability solutions leave critical records inaccessible, and how to quantify the hidden labor and lost revenue,
  • Where continuity of care gaps exist: the roughly 50% of records trapped outside any exchange,
  • What it takes to convert raw faxes, PDFs and code into curated, deduplicated, standards-aligned data (FHIR, USCDI)
  • How clean, usable data improves access and satisfaction while building the foundation healthcare AI requires.

New Report: AI is Coming to Telehealth, and Health Systems are Preparing

July 10, 2026

New Report: AI is Coming to Telehealth, and Health Systems are Preparing

Telehealth is no longer a workaround; it is core infrastructure for how care gets delivered. In one industry survey, 93% of organizations reported an active telehealth program, and 69% have run one for three years or more.

Drawing on that survey – the 9th Annual Telehealth Benchmark Survey for Hospitals and Health Systems, conducted by Becker’s Healthcare in collaboration with Teladoc Health – this new report captures where telehealth stands and where it’s headed next.

Most see virtual care quality as equal to or better than in-person, and 96% report a positive ROI over the past year. With that foundation set, attention is shifting to AI: of 167 C-suite respondents, all but one plan to add at least one AI use case to their telehealth strategy.

Download to learn:

  • Where telehealth adoption, quality and ROI stand today,
  • The AI use cases leaders are prioritizing for virtual care,
  • Why integration, not technology, is the real obstacle to scaling AI, and
  • A three-stage approach to layering AI onto an existing platform.

Webinar: When Nurses Help Build the AI, Adoption Follows: Lessons From 3 Health Systems, July 28

Healthcare organizations face relentless workforce pressure, and nursing leaders are no longer asking only whether AI can help. They are asking how to implement it so front-line nurses will use it.

The answer starts with asking nurses to help build it.

Join Becker’s and nursing leaders from Cincinnati Children’s, memorial Hermann Health System and OhioHealth for a candid conversation on how an AI-powered autonomous patient facing voice assistant, co-designed with nurses from the ground up, was developed and put into practice.

Panelists will share honest early learnings – what worked, what didn’t and what surprised them – including how skeptics became advocates, where the technology saved nurses time and how it reached patients often missed in education on diabetes of COPD.

Takeaways:

  • Why nurse involvement in AI design separates adoption from abandonment,
  • What early front-line feedback revealed, and how skeptics became advocates,
  • Practical lessons in change management, trust-building and sustainable adoption, and
  • How to bring AI to the bedside without losing the human connection at the center of care.
