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 75% – an 11-percentage-point increase from pre-pandemic levels – and is projected to reach a critical 85% threshold by 20232. 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, Rodolphe 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, and
• The virtuous cycle where better acuity management drives optimized capacity management, and vice versa.

Whitepaper: The Revenue Cycle Automation Library – 15 Solutions

Denials are rising. Work is piling up. And hiring more staff isn’t a sustainable solution.

For today’s revenue leaders, small optimizations aren’t enough. It takes a new model – one where AI agents, robots and staff operate in sync to handle complex, high-volume tasks at speed.

That’s what this automation library delivers: 15 real-world examples of agentic automation driving measurable results across the revenue cycle, from eligibility and scheduling to denials and cash posting.

Learnings include:

• How to reduce eligibility errors and prior authorization delays with agentic automation,
• How to reclaim revenue with better edits, faster appeals and fewer manual steps, and
• How to free staff to focus on patients and not portals, paperwork or rework.

Healthcare Readiness Report – A Primer for 2026

Health systems are investing heavily in AI, cloud and digital transformation. Yet many lack the foundational readiness required to make those investments pay off. Nearly two-thirds of healthcare leaders say their IT is not ready to manage future risk, even as AI reshapes care delivery, workflows and workforce expectations.

This report explores why readiness gaps persist and how they directly impact clinician capacity, innovation speed and patient outcomes.

Based on a global survey of healthcare leaders and real-world infrastructure data, this report reveals how technology debt, fragmented cloud strategies and trust gaps are holding organizations back.

Learnings include:

• Why clinicians are losing up to 23 days per year to data inefficiencies,
• Where infrastructure and cloud decisions are quietly increasing risk, and
• How leading organizations are aligning AI, infrastructure and workforce trust to prepare for what’s next.

Whitepaper: The State of Search: AI Implications and Actionable Strategies for Healthcare Marketers

AI does not just summarize healthcare information – it decides which brands to surface, cite and trust.

As patients increasingly turn to Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT and other AI platforms to research symptoms and compare options, many health systems are losing visibility long before a click ever happens. Rankings alone no longer determine success.

“The state of search” explores how AI is reshaping patient discovery and why healthcare is being hit harder than most industries. It introduces
AI brand presence, which is a new way to understand how often, where and how your organization appears in AI-generated results.

Inside the report, marketing leaders will learn:

• How patients move between search engines and AI platforms when initiating a care journey,
• Why authority, structure and consistency now matter more than traditional SEO tactics,
• How leading health systems are earning citations and positive sentiment in AI responses, and
• What marketers should do now to protect visibility as search becomes more conversational and fragmented.

Whitepaper: How Rural Health Systems are Scaling Ambient AI – Fast

AI adoption is no longer limited to large, urban hospitals. Rural and resource constrained systems are proving they can implement ambient AI at enterprise scale – affordably, efficiently and with measurable impact.

This whitepaper highlights real-world results from organizations like Reid Health, Tanner Health and Yakima Valley Farm Workers Clinic. You’ll learn how they’ve reduced documentation burdens, improved patient experience and strengthened workforce resilience while supporting long-term financial sustainability.

Insights include:

• How ambient AI is helping rural providers achieve 25% increases in weekly patient encounters,
• What it takes to scale AI-driven documentation across clinical teams in just days or weeks, and
• Strategies to improve clinician satisfaction, reduce burnout and elevate patient trust.

Whitepaper: Rethinking 911 for Hybrid Care: A Guide for Healthcare Leaders

Traditional 911 systems weren’t built for hospitals, let alone hybrid care. But with rising violence, distributed staff and new mandates like RAY BAUM’S Act, most healthcare emergency communication strategies are no longer fit for purpose.

This whitepaper explores what happens when emergency calls can’t be accurately routed and how health systems are rethinking location tracking, alerting and compliance to prevent it.

It includes use cases from hospitals, remote care settings and community clinics.

What you’ll learn:

• Best practices for dynamic location across hospitals, clinics and virtual care environments,
• What Kari’s Law, RAY BAUM’S Act and Alyssa’s Law mean for your operations, and
• Why compliance alone won’t keep patients and staff safe and what to do instead.

Whitepaper: The Real Cost of Nurse Turnover is Higher Than Most Leaders Realize

Nurse turnover is draining margins across healthcare organizations, often without being fully measured or understood.

While vacancy rates may look manageable on paper, the true impact shows up elsewhere: rising premium pay, missed coverage, longer time to fill roles, and mounting sunk costs tied to onboarding and lost experience. According to recent data, replacing a single nurse can cost up to $72,ooo. For hospitals with even modest turnover, the annual financial exposure can reach seven figures.

This report breaks down the full economic burden of nurse turnover and gives leaders a clearer way to quantify what it is costing their organization today. It goes beyond surface-level estimates to account for upfront replacement expenses, downstream productivity loss and the compounding effect of burnout on remaining staff.

Learnings Include:

• The true cost to replace a single nurse and why common benchmarks underestimate it,
• A simple, data-backed formula to calculate your organization’s annual turnover cost,
• Which specialties face the highest turnover risk and why, and
• Practical steps leaders are using now to stabilize workforce spend.

Whitepaper: 20 Criteria Hospital Leaders Should Use to Evaluate Telepsychiatry

Hospitals are under increasing pressure to expand behavioral health access while managing emergency department congestion, inpatient capacity and limited psychiatric coverage.

Many organizations have adopted telepsychiatry to reduce boarding and improve access, yet leaders often struggle to evaluate which partners can meet hospital-level standards for quality, reliability and integration. Without a clear framework, critical gaps in credentialing, response times or workflows can be missed.

This whitepaper offers a practical checklist outlining 20 criteria to guide telepsychiatry partner evaluations. It helps hospital leaders move beyond surface features to assess long-term clinical, operational and financial fit.

Key takeaways include:

• How virtual behavioral health services can improve access and reduce ED bottlenecks,
• Quality, credentialing and governance criteria leaders should assess,
• Operational and technology requirements that support timely consults, and
• Reporting and financial considerations that impact sustainability.
