Whitepaper: How 3 Systems Are Improving Patient Flow and Workforce Alignment at Infusion Centers

Infusion centers are under growing pressure as cancer incidence rises and treatment protocols grow more complex. At the same time, staffing shortages and workforce fatigue are making it harder to meet demand.

Facilities, pharmacy operations, and clinical teams aren’t scaling fast enough to keep up.

More than 60% of infusion leaders say patient flow and scheduling are their top challenge. Nearly half still face persistent mid-day peaks that strain staff and delay care. Manual scheduling tools – built for a different era – create underused mornings, afternoon gridlock, overtime, and inequitable workloads that frustrate both leaders and frontline teams.

This is no longer about tweaking templates. It’s about transforming operations.

This guide outlines practical steps for infusion center optimization, with case studies from Baptist Health Miami Cancer Institute, Rush University Medical Center and Penn Medicine. Learn how predictive analytics and AI-driven operational orchestration help leaders forecast constraints, smooth demand and align staffing in real time – without adding chairs or headcount.

Inside, you’ll learn how:

• Miami Cancer Institute boosted daily throughput 15% and cut drug wait times 35%,
• Rush cut infusion wait times 50% while launching a new unit, and
• Penn Medicine fulfilled 97% more summer PTO requests through demand-aligned schedules.

Whitepaper: Securing the Future of Connected Care: Survey Insights on Cyber Resilience in Patient Monitoring

As more patient monitoring devices connect to clinical networks and EHRs, health systems face a new frontier of cybersecurity risk. A Becker’s-Philips survey of 100 healthcare leaders found that only half feel their organizations have a moderately or highly mature cybersecurity strategy. The rest either cited minimal cybersecurity maturity or early-stage maturity.

This whitepaper shares real-world data and executive insights on how organizations are adapting patient monitoring cybersecurity. The report makes the case for why resilience, not just protection, must be the end goal.

Download now to explore:

• Why 50% of leaders say their cybersecurity maturity is still early-stage or minimal,
• The top cyber risks executives worry about most, and
• How top systems are pairing stronger defenses with resilience strategies to maintain safe operations during attacks.

Whitepaper: Accuracy is the New Currency: Inside 4 systems’ Data-Driven Push for Better Patient Experiences

Patient experience is no longer a “nice to have” – it’s a core driver of growth retention and reimbursement. Yet many health systems are falling short due to one persistent barrier: data that is fragmented, inaccurate or untrusted.

To meet rising expectations, four organizations are building trusted data foundations to deliver seamless, personalized experiences across every touchpoint.

This whitepaper explores how leading systems are connecting data, identity and interoperability to drive measurable ROI.

Insights include:

• Why trusted identity is foundational to patient experience and AI success,
• How a large multi-hospital health system reengaged 200,000 patients by unifying patient records across Epic and other systems, and
• How a regional health system saw a 31% lift in patient records matched to marketing data.

Whitepaper: How UVM Health Cut Clinician Burnout 65% in 4 Months

Clinician burnout driven by documentation burden is no longer an abstract risk; it is an operational threat to access, quality and workforce stability.

The University of Vermont Health, the largest health system in Vermont, faced rising burnout rates and mounting frustration tied to EHR documentation. Serving a largely rural population across primary and specialty care, leaders needed a solution that improved clinician well-being without forcing productivity mandates or compromising training.

This KLAS Arch Collaborative case study details how UVM Health approached ambient documentation through a clinician-led, data-driven rollout. After a vendor-neutral pilot, the organization scaled the technology across primary care, specialty practices and residency programs, guided by provider governance and continuous measurement.

Within four months, self-reported burnout dropped from 69% to 24%. Clinicians described a renewed ability to be fully present with patients, while visit volumes increased organically without top-down mandates. Governance remained clinician led, with ongoing measurement using HER data, surveys and patient feedback to sustain gains.

The study offers health system leaders a practical, evidence-based example of how addressing clinician experience can translate into measurable improvements across the organization.

Key takeaways:

• How UVM Health reduced burnout by 65% using KLAS-validated metrics,
• Why clinician-led governance was critical to adoption and trust,
• How ambient documentation supported organic productivity gains, and
• Lessons for scaling across rural clinics and training environments.

Whitepaper: 3 Essential Steps to Improve Medical Device Cybersecurity

Data breaches and ransomware attacks are costing the healthcare industry billions every year. Despite growing attention to this area, health systems have a significant gap in their potential cyberattack surface: network-connectable medical devices. These assets are already prevalent in clinical settings, and their footprint continues to expand with the increasing adoption of technology-driven patient care. Without accurate and detailed inventory visibility and established processes for managing vulnerabilities, healthcare organizations cannot effectively understand or address the associated risks of these assets. By compiling a reliable inventory, improving alignment between IT & HTM workflows, and establishing consistent criteria for measuring risk, health systems can better protect their investments in medical devices as well as improve safeguards for patients.

Learning points:

• Identify common challenges to assessing healthcare cybersecurity risk posture.
• List valuable risk factors to track and evaluate when prioritizing cybersecurity projects, and
• Understand how consistent processes contribute to an efficient cybersecurity strategy.
