Webinar: Early Capital Planning Phases, September 24

Is your health center considering a renovation, expansion, or new site? The success of any capital project is determined long before the first blueprint is drawn.

The early planning phases -where strategic vision meets operational and financial reality – are the most crucial. This webinar will provide your leadership team with a proven framework to navigate this complex process, align your project with community need, and build a compelling case for funders.

Join Capital Link, a national nonprofit with over 30 years of experience guiding health centers through $1.6 billion in successful capital projects, for this essential deep dive into early-stage planning.

What You Will Learn:

In this actionable session, our experts will guide you through the sequential steps of early project planning:

• Strategic Alignment:
  • How to ensure your capital project is driven by your mission and informed by a robust, board-led strategic plan, as required by HRSA.
• Market Justification:
  • Learn how to use data from UDS, EHB Forms, and market mapping tools to define your service area, identify unmet need, and quantitatively justify expansion.
• Operational Assessment:
  • Methods to evaluate your current operations, staffing, and workflows to forecast future needs and avoid simply recreating existing bottlenecks in a new space.
• Financial Readiness:
  • How to assess your organization’s financial capacity and debt readiness to undertake a capital project sustainably.

Whitepaper: CMUs are Cutting Waste, Boosting Safety: Results From 3 Health Systems

Many hospitals still rely on outdated telemetry setups, overworked nurses doing “drive-by” checks, or systems flooded with 350+ daily alarms per patient.

These models lead to delays, over-monitoring, alarm fatigue and compromised safety.

This report shows why leading systems are rethinking the model with centralized monitoring units (CMUs) that scale across hospitals and support smarter staffing.

Key takeaways include:

• The CMU model to reduce excess telemetry systemwide by 10%,
• How to save 8 hours/day with technology, and
• Health First’s approach to buying new technology and creating savings.

Webinar: From Legacy ERP to Lasting Security: A Smarter Archival Strategy for Hospitals, September 19

Hospitals are sunsetting outdated systems but holding onto the data – and with it, the risk.

Legacy ERP platforms often store sensitive information like W-2s, salary data and vendor contracts. Yet these systems lack modern security controls and remain vulnerable to breach. Many health systems maintain access solely for compliance or audit purposes, not realizing they’re exposing sensitive data and wasting resources in the process.

In this session, you’ll learn how hospital IT, operations and compliance teams can use data archival to reduce risk, cut costs and ensure long-term access.

Join this session to learn how to?

• Identify hidden threats tied to legacy ERP data retention,
• Reduce your organization’s attack surface,
• Use archival strategies to meet compliance needs without keeping outdated systems online.

Webinar: Why Virtual-first is Gaining Traction in Cardiovascular Care, September 19

Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the U.S., but early detection and timely intervention remain out of reach for many – especially in rural and underserved communities.

Some health systems are rethinking how care is delivered.

You’ll hear from Jeff Wessler, MD – a Northwell Health cardiologist and founder and CEO of Heartbeat Health – and other leaders on how to vuild scalable virtual pathways that blend diagnostics, AI and clinician collaboration into a more connected model of care.

Key takeaways:

• How to engage hard-to-reach populations with virtual-first care models,
• Where AI powered diagnostics fit in clinical care pathways and population health workflows, and
• What real-world programs are doing to improve HEDIS scores and CMS star ratings while reducing cost.
