Webinar: Why Health Systems Struggle to Prove ROI on Digital Health Investments, February 17

Health systems are spending more on technology than ever, but many digital and C-suite leaders still face tough questions about substantiating value and investment strategies.

When ROI is siloed or unclear, innovation can stall, governance can break down and technology is perceived as a cost center rather than a strategic asset. Traditional financial models often miss clinical and operational value, leaving leaders without a comprehensive, longitudinal impact perspective.

This panel brings together executives from Stanford Health Care, Mass General Brigham, and Southern Illinois Healthcare to unpack how leading systems are addressing these challenges head-on. Speakers will share how they’re closing visibility gaps, centralizing decision making, and creating repeatable methods to measure value across the organization.

The discussion will explore how to transition into maximum-impact mode with coordinated technology strategies that support enterprise priorities and win executive buy-in.

Key insights include:

• Common reasons ROI remains difficult to prove in health systems,
• How centralized governance supports better decision-making,
• Strategies to make technology value visible and sustainable, and
• Lessons from systems successfully substantiating enterprise-level technology impact.

Webinar: From Retrospective to Real Time: Transforming CMS Star Rating and Leapfrog Objectives into Bedside Action, February 17

Hospitals are under constant pressure to perform in quality programs like CMS Star Ratings, Leapfrog, VBP and HRRP, yet most manage these initiatives retrospectively, through lagging metrics and after-action reviews.

The delay creates blind spots: frontline teams don’t know about the 10% of patients who drive the majority of CMS Star Ratings and other quality programs, or how to intervene in time to change outcomes.

This webinar shares how leading hospitals are connecting enterprise quality targets with real-time patient identification, risk stratification and care team activation, while patients are still in the bed.

Key Takeaways:

• Translate enterprise priorities into patient-level flags staff can act on daily,
• Identify cohorts driving readmissions, mortality, and cost before discharge, and
• Link stratified risk to workflows across rounding, discharge and care coordination.

MRHA Webinar: Building Research – Ready Rural Clinics in Missouri, February 5

Rural communities contribute immense value to healthcare yet remain underrepresented in clinical research. This limited participation means fewer opportunities to shape medical advances that directly impact rural patients and practices.

The Research Readiness Training program was created to change that. Developed by the University of Missouri, this program equips rural clinicians and healthcare staff with the skills, confidence, and infrastructure needed to participate in and lead clinical trials. Through practical, accessible training, participants learn how to integrate research into daily practice. Covering key areas such as participant recruitment, informed consent, and collaboration with academic researchers. By fostering research readiness, this program empowers rural healthcare teams to bring innovation closer to home and ensure that rural voices shape the future of medicine.

Target Audience:

• Clinicians
• Nurses
• Healthcare staff serving rural communities

Webinar: How Hospitals are Making Resident Well-Being Core to GME, February 5

Residency has always been demanding. But today’s trainees face new stressors layered on top of old ones: HER overload, reduced autonomy, economic pressure and social isolation.

Traditional mental health models weren’t built for this – and residents are feeling the strain.

Insights include:

• How new GME dynamics interact with longstanding mental health risks,
• Why traditional wellness programs often fail and what to replace them with, and
• Practical steps to embed mental health infrastructure across training programs.
