Webinar: Public Health and Regulatory Considerations for Kratom and 7 -OH Products, January 30

This session is designed to clarify the distinctions between natural kratom leaf (which contains trace amounts of 7-OH) and the newer potent products with added or synthetic 7-OH that are increasingly available in retail settings and online. The webinar will address the growing concerns among health care professionals, public health officials, and community advocates regarding the misuse, unpredictable potency, and emerging health risks associated with these unregulated substances and current legislative efforts.

Key Topics

• Pharmacology and Health Effects:
  • Discuss how kratom’s primary compounds, mitragynine and 7-OH, interact with the body’s opioid receptors and the potential for both stimulant and potent opioid-like effects.
• Public Health Concerns:
  • Review data on adverse effects, including addiction potential, neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome, overdose risks (especially when combined with other substances like alcohol or benzodiazepines) and contamination issues.
• Regulatory Landscape:
  • Examine the complex and patchwork regulatory status at federal and state levels, including the FDA’s position that kratom is an unapproved new dietary ingredient and cannot be lawfully marketed as such.
• Recent Agency Actions:
  • Outline recent actions by the FDA and state authorities, such as FDA warning letters to companies illegally marketing 7-OH products and the FDA’s recommendation to the DEA to classify concentrated 7-OH as a controlled substance.

Cost: Complimentary for all attendees

When: Friday, January 30, 11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.

Webinar: UAMS’ AI Playbook for Capacity Lift & Fewer Cancellations, January 21

Manual, fragmented pre-admission testing strains perioperative teams and the operating room. Phone tag for histories, missing documents and late risk discovery all drive day-of surgery delays, idle rooms and staff burnout. Leaders need a faster, more reliable way to prepare patients without adding FTEs.

University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) reworked its pre-admission testing model with AI-enabled workflows to give each nurse an assistant for information gathering, risk flagging and follow-up tasks. The result: a 50% increase in PAT nurse capacity, a 25% reduction in surgical cancellations and a 60% drop in manual document processing time.

In this session, Tammy Jones, PhD, RN, CNO and associate vice chancellor for patient care services and clinical operations at UAMS, will detail how her team changed the work, not just the tools. She will be joined by Andrew Fisher, MD, assistant professor of anesthesiology at the Medical University of South Carolina, to discuss perioperative governance, clinical criteria and integration considerations.

Learnings include:

• How to supercharge pre-admission testing programs with AI,
• How to successfully implement an AI solution, ensuring staff and integration into existing workflows, and
• How to use AI to enhance staff productivity and optimize patients before surgery.

Cost: Free

Key takeaways:

• Why healthcare’s data is only growing and what it means for operations,
• How AI agents convert unmanaged data into decisions that reduce costs, and
• Where AI agents can realistically be deployed now to increase efficiency.

On-Demand Webinar: Recoupments 101: The Biggest RCM Problem No One’s Talking About

For ASCs and ambulatory providers, recoupments can be devastating. A single payer takeback can wipe out weeks of margin, strain small billing teams and trigger rework that outpatient workflows aren’t built to handle.

Yet recoupments – also called takebacks or chargebacks – remain one of the least understood revenue cycle risks in ambulatory care.

This on-demand webinar breaks down how recoupments work in ASC and ambulatory settings and why treating them like denials puts organizations at risk.

Attendees will take away a clear, practical primer on payer audits, retroactive adjustments and provider-level balances, with a focus on how these issues uniquely impact outpatient revenue cycles.

Learnings include:

• Recoupment terminology and why confusion costs ASCs real dollars,
• The true financial and operational impact on ambulatory revenue cycles,
• How payer audits and retroactive adjustments drive outpatient takebacks,
• Why denial workflows fail in ASC environments, and
• How visibility and automation can help ambulatory teams regain control.
