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

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.

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: EHR overload, reduced autonomy, economic pressure and social isolation.

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

In this live webinar, join Mickey Trockel, MD, director of evidence-based innovation for Stanford University School of Medicine’s WellMD Center and Robert Flora, MD, chief academic officer and vice president of academic affairs at McLaren Health Care, to examine how modern graduate medical education is reshaping the mental health landscape.

They’ll explore the unique vulnerabilities of residents, how the training environment is changing in ways leaders underestimate, and why common mental health approaches fail in GME and what actually works.

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.

Webinar: A Roadmap for Physician Alignment, Engagement and Retention, February 24

January 14, 2026

Webinar: A Roadmap for Physician Alignment, Engagement and Retention, February 24

This educational presentation delivers a practical roadmap for strengthening physician alignment, improving engagement, and supporting long-term retention in rural health organizations.

Led by Scott Polenz, a former rural hospital CEO who developed a micro-tertiary hospital serving rural communities and later oversaw physician recruitment, onboarding, and retention for more than 1,200 providers, the session focuses on leadership and operational approaches that influence workforce stability in rural settings.

The discussion walks through how misalignment develops, where engagement breaks down, and how rural organizations can implement sustainable retention systems using actionable tools, clear checkpoints, and data-informed decision-making. Emphasis is placed on approaches that can be applied immediately and adapted across hospitals and clinics of varying size and structure.

Participants will leave with a clear understanding of how to apply the roadmap in their own organization and how to measure progress through workforce stability, operational performance, and avoided recruitment and onboarding costs.

Learning Objectives:

Participants will be able to:

  • Apply a structured roadmap to strengthen physician alignment, engagement, and retention in rural settings,
  • Identify early indicators of misalignment and prioritize actions that influence retention outcomes,
  • Implement practical leadership and operational practices that support long-term physician commitment, and
  • Measure retention progress using workforce, operational, and financial indicators.

Attend this webinar to gain a practical roadmap for improving physician alignment, engagement, and retention in rural health organizations while supporting operational and financial stability.

Webinar: Advancing Neurological Care in Rural America: Practical Approaches to Improve Diagnosis, Care, & Outcomes in MS & Parkinson’s, February 19

Rural health professionals are often the first point of contact for patients experiencing early symptoms of neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis (MS) and Parkinson’s Disease (PPD). Yet, limited access to specialists, diagnostic tools, and coordinated care can delay diagnosis and lead to poor health outcomes.

This webinar equips rural health professionals with practical strategies to recognize, manage, and refer patients with MS and Parkinson’s disease. Participants will gain insights into early symptom recognition, best practices for ongoing wellness and care, and the latest treatments and strategies to improve quality of life for patients.

By strengthening local capacity to recognize and intervene with these complex neurological conditions, rural health teams can reduce diagnostic delays, improve treatment adherence, and achieve better long-term outcomes for people living with MS and PD.

Webinar: Staying Ahead of AI in Rural Revenue Cycle Compliance, January 17

January 14, 2026

Webinar: Staying Ahead of AI in Rural Revenue Cycle Compliance, January 17

This session shows rural hospital leaders exactly where AI-driven payor scrutiny is creating financial risk and what actions have reduced that risk in similar rural settings.

Attendees will see which documentation patterns and oversight gaps have triggered automated denials and audits in rural and critical access hospitals, and which targeted changes have improved reimbursement without adding staff. A rural case example included in the session reflects an approximate 2.5 percent improvement in net patient revenue following tighter documentation governance.

The session is led by Stuart Newsome, who has spent 30 years helping rural hospitals prevent denials and respond to audits, and Taylor Searfoss, who works directly with rural hospital leadership teams on revenue integrity and audit readiness in resource-constrained environments.

Learning Objectives:

  • Identify where AI-driven activity is impacting reimbursement,
  • See which oversight gaps matter most in rural hospitals, and
  • Apply changes that have produced measurable financial results.

Attend this webinar if you want clarity on:

  • What to fix,
  • Where to focus, and
  • What actually works in rural revenue cycle oversight

Webinar: POCUS Without Chaos: How Health Systems Build Workflows That Actually Work, January 27

Point-of-care ultrasound programs often grow faster than the workflows supporting them. Images live in silos. Exams go undocumented. Billing is missed and leaders lack a clear view of ROI.

Health systems like Baylor Scott & White Health, Yale New Haven Health and University of Maryland Medical System have taken a different approach – treating POCUS as an enterprise workflow, not a side project.

In this live session, system ultrasound, emergency medicine and IT leaders share how they’ve built scalable POCUS programs that improve documentation, reduce risk and surface real financial impact across departments.

Learnings Include:

  • How undocumented or unbilled POCUS exams quietly erode revenue
  • The governance, IT and clinical decisions required to scale POCUS beyond individual departments.
  • What successful systemwide deployments get right – from integration strategy to ongoing support.
