Webinar: healthcare at a Crossroads: Using Concierge Medicine to Strengthen Revenue, Retention + Patient Satisfaction, March 5

Health systems are seeking practical ways to enhance revenue, improve physician satisfaction, increase patient satisfaction and retain top talent without disrupting existing business structures.

Flexible concierge medicine programs are emerging as a way to achieve these aims. These programs operate alongside traditional practice structures, allowing organizations to add a new revenue stream while preserving current workflows, staffing and governance – while also addressing growing patient demand for connectivity, continuity and more personalized care.

This session offers an overview of how healthcare organizations are offering membership medicine as an optional service. Patients can choose to remain traditional patients or opt into a membership based on their preferences, creating flexibility for both patients and practices and supporting higher patient satisfaction through choice and experience.

The session offers an overview of how healthcare organizations are offering membership medicine as an optional service. Patients can choose to remain traditional patients or opt into a membership based on their preferences, creating flexibility for both patients and practices and supporting higher patient satisfaction through choice and experience.

The session will also explore how increased physician satisfaction contributes directly to stronger patient relationships, recruitment, retention and financial performance. Leaders will gain clarity on how concierge programs fit within large medical groups and health systems without requiring restructuring or limiting participation to primary care.

Key takeaways include:

• How flexible concierge programs enhance revenue while improving patient satisfaction – without changing business structure,
• Why optional membership models appeal to patients seeking greater continuity,
• How physician satisfaction supports better patient experiences, recruitment, retention and practice stability, and
• Where concierge medicine fits within large, integrated healthcare organizations.

Webinar: Inside OHSU’s Approach to Data-Driven Perioperative Staffing, March 18

Manual staffing processes and limited visibility into staff experience are quietly draining perioperative capacity across health systems.

Oregon Health & Science University faced these same challenges across 53 operating rooms. Leaders struggled with reactive staffing decisions, time-intensive coordination and inconsistent team assignments that made it harder to use staffed rooms effectively.

In this webinar, OHSU perioperative leaders share how they shifted from manual workflows to a data-driven staffing approach that improved utilization, strengthened team consistency and reclaimed more than 25 hours per week previously spent on staffing coordination.

Hear directly from OHSU leaders about what worked, what required change management and how they measured impact across perioperative services.

Attendees will learn:

• How OHSU reclaimed 25-plus hours per week from manual staffing coordination,
• Why improved visibility into staff experience matters for accurate assignments,
• How predictive analytics reduced last-minute staffing changes, and
• What drove a 5% improvement in staffed room utilization and 30% improvement in cross-training opportunities.

Webinar: The Hidden Patient Safety Risk at Discharge, March 17

Discharge is one of the most legally and clinically vulnerable moments in care – especially for multilingual patients.

When instructions are unclear, inconsistently translated or poorly integrated into documentation workflows, the consequences extend beyond confusion. Health systems face increased risk of medication errors, non-adherence, preventable readmissions and compliance exposure.

Health systems often depend on translation tools that were not designed for healthcare. These tools can miss context, misinterpret terminology and create gaps between discharge documentation and patient understanding.

In this live discussion, Albert Villarin, MD, vice president and chief medical informatics officer of Nuvance-Northwell Health, shares how his organization is approaching discharge communication risk and what health system leaders should consider when modernizing multilingual workflows.

Key takeaways include:

• Why discharge communication failures disproportionately impact multilingual populations,
• Where general-purpose translation tools break down in clinical workflows,
• How health systems can strengthen documentation integrity for multilingual discharge instructions, and
• Governance, security and compliance considerations for managing multilingual patient data.

Webinar: Strategic Readiness for Aging Populations: How Health Systems are Preparing, March 3

Aging populations are accelerating demand for neurological care, pushing health systems to rethink how and when they identify cognitive decline.

Traditional assessment models rely heavily on cognitive testing and structural imaging, which can limit visibility into early or functional change. As volumes rise and access tightens, this lack of clarity can create downstream strain across neurology, care coordination and utilization.

In this webinar, leaders from Encompass Health, HCA Healthcare, and CommonSpirit examine how functional brain assessment can complement existing tools to support earlier, more confident clinical decision making. The discussion will focus on where current models break down and how executives can evaluate emerging diagnostic technologies through a clinical, operational and strategic lens.

Speakers will explore how earlier insight into brain function can help guide next-step care, prioritize referrals and support clearer pathways as health systems prepare for the next decade of brain health demand.

Insights include:

• How aging-driven growth in cognitive conditions is creating systemwide clinical and operational pressure,
• Where cognitive tests and structural imaging leave gaps in early or functional assessment,
• How functional brain assessment can support risk stratification and treatment planning, and
• What leaders should consider when building a long-term brain health strategy

Cost: Free

When: Tuesday, March 3, 11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
