Webinar: Real-time Pay as a Retention Tool: Building Support, Alignment and Adoption, March 19

More healthcare workers are living paycheck to paycheck than ever before. Real-time pay isn’t just another perk to add to a benefit list. It’s a way to show your team you understand their reality and you’re doing something about it.

This session is for leaders who want to explore how giving people access to their earned pay can actually move the needle on retention and recruitment. This webinar will talk through building support across your organization and creating a rollout that people actually use. Leaders from Naples Comprehensive Health, DailyPay and Lee Health discuss how they evaluate retention investments, align stakeholders across departments and focus on outcomes that matter.

What you’ll takeaway:

  • A solution to a real problem:
    • Your frontline teams are stressed about money. Real-time pay addresses that directly, which means better retention and engagement.
  • Getting everyone on board:
    • Get HR, finance, payroll, union leadership, and operations aligned early on the non-negotiables:
      • data security,
      • employee costs,
      • payroll integration,
      • communication ownership,
      • and success metrics.
  • Making it stick:
    • The launch is just the beginning. Drive adoption through trusted channels (town halls, managers) with messaging about control, flexibility, and peace of mind.
  • The right partner makes all the difference:
    • Work with a vendor who stays engaged post-launch to drive enrollment and sustain results.

Ebook: 5 Sources of Front-end Revenue Loss Hospitals Must Address in 2026

March 5, 2026

e-book: 5 Sources of Front-end Revenue Loss Hospitals Must Address in 2026

Picture a front end where coverage drops are caught early, authorizations are not missed, and manual rework no longer creates downstream financial risk.

This 2026 playbook shows how health systems, including Premier Health, are moving closer to that reality by addressing the operational blind spots that drive revenue leakage in patient access.

The e-book provides a clear, data-backed framework for reducing front-end risk. It connects 2026 policy changes to specific workflow failures and outlines how automation can prevent small intake errors from cascading into downstream write-offs. An interactive calculator enables leaders to apply their own admission volumes and labor costs to quantify operational waste and uncover recoverable revenue within their workflows.

The playbook also includes real-world results, detailing how Premier Health uncovered $2.9 million in insurance remits in just 90 days by addressing front-end gaps.

You will learn:

  • How manual intake workflows create hidden revenue loss,
  • What 2026 policy changes mean for patient access teams,
  • How to estimate recoverable revenue tied to front-end inefficiencies, and
  • A five-step roadmap for reducing manual work across patient access.

On-Demand Webinar: What New Hypertension Thresholds Mean for Pregnancy Care Teams

March 5, 2026

On-Demand Webinar: What New Hypertension Thresholds Mean for Pregnancy Care Teams

Hypertensive disorders remain a leading contributor to maternal morbidity, yet blood pressure management during pregnancy and postpartum care continues to evolve.

The release of the 2025 American heart Association and American College of Cardiology blood pressure guidelines introduces updated thresholds and recommendations that directly affect how clinicians identify risk, monitor patients and plan follow-up care. Without a clear understanding of these changes, care teams may struggle to align practice across obstetrics, nursing and cardiology.

This Becker’s Healthcare webinar addresses these challenges head-on. Featured speakers include maternal-fetal medicine, nursing and cardiovascular research experts from Valley Health System, NYU Grossman School of Medicine, Emory University and University of North Carolina Wilmington.

Key takeaways include:

  • How hypertension definitions and thresholds have evolved,
  • Implications for pregnancy and postpartum blood pressure management,
  • Strategies to strengthen hypertension surveillance across care transitions, and
  • Ways to support long-term maternal cardiovascular health.

On-Demand Webinar: Beyond Basis Points: What Actually Drives ROI in Healthcare Payment Programs

Healthcare finance leaders are being pitched on rebate upside. But many programs underperform not because the math was wrong, but because adoption never materialized.

MHA Four-part Series: Scalable Approaches to Meet Patients Nonclinical Needs in Missouri, April 15 – May 27

March 4, 2026

MHA Four-part Series: Scalable Approaches to Meet Patients Nonclinical Needs in Missouri, April 15 – May 27

This four-part virtual series will examine how data and technology related to nonclinical factors that affect an individual’s health – including screening tools, referral platforms and integrated systems – can identify unmet needs and drive targeted interventions.

Participants will explore real-world programs and partnerships that enhance access to care, improve care continuity and strengthen service delivery.

Sessions will focus on how health care systems address nonclinical risk factors through standardized screening, patient-centered communication and closed-loop referrals embedded in clinical practice. Participants will learn how screening data supports care planning, connects patients to community resources and improves follow-up for individuals with complex needs.

Attendees will also gain insight into the Hospital to Housing (H2H) program, which connects individuals experiencing homelessness to stable housing and coordinated services, including its structure, outcomes and sustainability. Additional highlights include hospital partnerships with the Community Action Ride System to address transportation barriers and improve access to care, as well as operational workflows and data-sharing practices. The series also will showcase innovative approaches from the Mid-America Regional Council and MU Extension that integrate strategies related to nonclinical factors that affect an individuals’ health into aging services and rural health initiative, offering practical tools and models for replication.

The series will examine the evolving health care landscape, including Missouri’s Rural Health Transformation Plan and its role in shaping future strategies, community partnerships and technology integration related to nonclinical factors that affect people’s health outcomes.

Cost: Complimentary for all attendees

Webinar: Practical Guidance for Predictive Flow: How University Health is Improving ED + Inpatient Throughput, March 11

March 4, 2026

Webinar: Practical Guidance for Predictive Flow: How University Health is Improving ED + Inpatient Throughput, March 11

Emergency departments often set the pace for the entire hospital. When admitted patients board for hours, the downstream effects strain staffing, delay discharges and erode capacity. University Health is addressing this challenge by strengthening the connection between ED operations and inpatient flow using real-time and predictive intelligence layered on its EHR.

In this 30-minute session, leaders from University Health share how the organization is evolving its approach to ED and inpatient throughput – moving beyond reactive bed management toward more predictable daily operations.

Attendees will hear how early signals from the ED now help inpatient teams plan placement sooner, run more focused huddles and align staffing to anticipated demand before units reach capacity.

Insights include:

  • Why ED flow is a critical lever for unlocking inpatient capacity,
  • How early ED visibility supports better admission and discharge planning,
  • How predictive insights improve staffing decisions and huddle routines, and
  • What effective operations – IT collaboration looks like in practice.
