Webinar: From Foundation to Frontier: Radiology Leaders Discuss Scaling AI in Imaging, January 29

Radiology informatics is advancing fast, with AI moving beyond pilots to real-world impact – improving image interpretation, streamlining workflows and supporting clinical decisions.

Still, many health systems are working through key challenges: integration, governance and building trust among teams. The good news? Some are making meaningful progress.

In this panel discussion. Leaders from Phillips, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital are joined by a Chief Radiology Resident in Diagnostic Radiology and a Nuclear Medicine fellow at the University of Alabama at Birmingham to explore how imaging informatics has evolved – and what it takes to fully realize AI’s potential in radiology.

Join to Learn:

  • Where AI is delivering value in radiology workflows and patient care,
  • Practical lessons for driving adoption across teams and technology environments, and
  • What’s ahead for intelligent imaging and how to position your organization now.

What Healthcare Leaders Need to Know about Cybersecurity in 2026

Cybersecurity risks facing healthcare organizations in 2026 are increasingly tied to prolonged technology outages that directly disrupt patient care, according to John Riggi, national adviser for cybersecurity and risk at the American Hospital Association.

“I believe there needs to be an increased understanding that our increased dependency on network and internet connected technology and data to deliver care is creating an increased risk to care delivery, if and when that technology is suddenly not available for an extended period, such as during a ransomware attack,” Mr. Riggi said.

Recent attacks have shown that disruptions can last weeks, not days.

“Unfortunately, hundreds of ransomware attacks against hospitals and our mission critical third parties have shown us that we need to be prepared to deliver safe and quality care for 30 days or longer without the benefit of connected technology,” he said.

Becker’s spoke to Mr. Riggi about the biggest cybersecurity themes hospitals and health systems will face in 2026:

  • Geo-political and nation-state risks
  • Third-party attacks remain a major concern
  • AI-driven attacks expected to increase
  • Signs of progress

On-Demand Webinar: Recoupments 101: The Biggest RCM Problem No One’s Talking About

For ASCs and ambulatory providers, recoupments can be devastating. A single payer takeback can wipe out weeks or margin, strain small billing teams and trigger rework that outpatient workflows aren’t built to handle.

Yet recoupments – also called takebacks or chargebacks – remain one of the least understood revenue cycle risks in ambulatory care.

This on-demand webinar breaks down how recoupments work in ASC and ambulatory settings and why treating them like denials puts organizations at risk.

Attendees will take away a clear, practical primer on payer audits, retroactive adjustments and provider-level balances, with a focus on how these issues uniquely impact outpatient revenue cycles.

Learnings include:

  • Recoupment terminology and why confusion costs ASCs real dollars,
  • The true financial and operational impact on ambulatory revenue cycles,
  • How payer audits and retroactive adjustments drive outpatient takebacks,
  • Why denial workflows fail in ASC environments, and
  • How visibility and automation can help ambulatory teams regain control.
