On-Demand Webinar: Fix it Before it’s Lost: Why the Point of Care is the Most Valuable Step in RCM

Up to 85% of claim denials trace back to the 12 minutes a clinician spends with a patient in the exam room.

Health systems have invested heavily in clearinghouses, billing systems and denial management. Yet the most critical moment in revenue cycle performance still happens at the point of care – where documentation gaps, missed details and incomplete coding quietly drive revenue loss.

In this session, Umar Bowers, MD, an internal medicine physician and owner-operator of three clinics in Wilmington, N.C., discusses how ambient clinical intelligence is changing what gets captured and what gets reimbursed.

Insights include:

  • How ambient clinical intelligence captures diagnostic specificity and HCC coding opportunities,
  • How point-of-care documentation improves charge capture and value-based performance, and
  • Measurable impact on clinician experience, patient satisfaction and back-office workload.

Webinar: Stabilizing High-Need Units and Facilities Through Targeted Workforce Strategies, June 18

May 27, 2026

Webinar: Stabilizing High-Need Units and Facilities Through Targeted Workforce Strategies, June 18

Staffing challenges in healthcare are not evenly distributed, and the systems that recognize that are gaining ground.

In many organizations, a small number of units, departments or facilities drive a disproportionate share of vacancies, turnover and premium labor spend. Systemwide recru8iting approaches were not designed for this reality. Without a targeted strategy, open roles linger, leaders stay in reactive mode and the downstream effects – on patient access, throughput and martin – compound quickly.

This session explores how cross-functional workforce strategies can help organizations stabilize high-need areas faster and more sustainably.

You will learn:

  • How to identify where staffing challenges are most concentrated and where to prioritize resources,
  • How targeted recruitment can shorten time-to-fill and reduce reliance on premium labor,
  • How stabilizing critical roles supports patient access, throughput and revenue generation, and
  • How workforce stabilization strengthens financial resilience and long-term sustainability.

MRHA Virtual Learning Session: Local Health Department Capacity, Public Health Priorities, and Community Health Workers: Two Studies on LHD Capacity and the Potential of Community Health Workers, May 28

*Please note that the topic for this webinar has been updated. The previously scheduled presentation, “A Systems Approach to Preparing the Health Workforce for Social Determinants of Health,” has been replaced with this session.

This webinar uses national data from the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) National Profile of Health Departments survey to explore organizational capacity in local health departments (LHDs) and how it relates to foundational public health services (FPHS) capabilities and health screenings in LHDs. There is substantial variation between LHDs in different contexts in terms of their organizational capacity, and capacity can impact what LHDs can accomplish.

Two studies will be discussed. First, you will examine differences in LHDs’ FPHS activities between expenditure levels, full time equivalent positions, and local population size. Second, you will examine health screening activities among LHDs who employ a community health worker (CHW), a physician, both, or neither. Capacity matters a great deal for what LHDs can do, but LHDs may be able to act strategically to increase capacity and thus their activities.

Webinar: Why Dashboards Alone Aren’t Fixing Patient Flow, June 24

Webinar: Why Dashboards Alone Aren’t Fixing Patient Flow, June 24

Most hospitals have invested heavily in visibility in the form of dashboards, daily huddle reports, capacity snapshots and more. Yet boarded emergency department patients, delayed discharges and capacity bottlenecks remain stubbornly familiar.

The problem is rarely a lack of data. It is the gap between what the data shows and what teams can act on in time. By the time a daily report surfaces a bottleneck, the bed is already full, the discharge has already slipped, and the ED is already holding patients overnight.

Baptist Health Arkansas decided to close that gap.

Cody Walker, President of Baptist Health Medical Center-North Little Rock, will share how Baptist moved past visibility into action by embedding predictive intelligence and automation into core workflows. The phased, data-driven approach delivered a 25% reduction in avoidable opportunity days and 525 fewer boarded ED patients per month.

Learnings include:

  • Where dashboards fall short and what replaces them,
  • How predictive intelligence and automation cut avoidable delays,
  • The phased model behind Baptist’s measurable throughput gains, and
  • How real-time collaboration changes front-line decision-making.
