On-Demand Webinar: What the Data Says: A Candid Conversation on Healthcare Operations Today

Hospital operating margins closed out 2025 at an adjusted year-to-date rate of 1.3% according to Kaufman Hall. At that threshold, a single operational inefficiency can quickly become a financial crisis.

This on-demand session offers a data-driven look at where health systems are struggling – and where early progress is being made.

Drawing from a pre-event survey of 70+ healthcare leaders and live polling conducted with executive, clinical and operational audiences, the conversation covers margin pressure and AI adoption in healthcare operations.

In this session, you will learn:

• Why financial pressure dominates as the top operational challenge, cited by 52% of surveyed leaders, and
• Where AI adoption is breaking down: 30% of executives cited prohibitive cost to scale as the primary obstacle.

Webinar: From Hidden Cost Center to Strategic Asset: Rethinking Language Services, June 23

Healthcare organizations are under intensifying pressure to control operational costs without compromising patient experience or clinical outcomes. Language services sit directly inside that tension – often treated as a back-office expense, yet tied to patient access, throughput and care quality.

On June 23, an expert panel will examine how forward thinking organizations are approaching language services as a strategic operational lever. The discussion features Neil Wallis, COO of MetroWest Medical Center, part of Tenet healthcare, alongside Emmanuel Chepkwony, VP, Enterprise Language Access and interpreting Services at Advocate Health.

Learnings include:

• The operational bottlenecks delaying patient access,
• Key drivers of rising interpreting session costs and practical ways to mitigate them,
• A framework for evaluating the operational effectiveness and ROI of a language services program, and
• How to communicate value and build stakeholder alignment across finance, operations and patient experience.

On-Demand Webinar: How AdventHealth Improved Care Transitions and Drove $48.6M in Operational Value

Length of stay is one of the most significant sources of avoidable cost and operational strain in hospitals today, yet many health systems still struggle to reduce unwarranted variation in inpatient days in a clinically appropriate and sustainable way.

In this webinar, hospital leaders will hear how AdventHealth addressed avoidable length of stay by aligning IT and care management and implementing coordinated changes to people, processes and technology. Presenters will share how greater transparency across discharge processes supported timely, appropriate post-acute placement-enhancing patient centered care and creating more predictable patient flow.

Attendees will learn how this work helped AdventHealth unlock $48.6M in systemwide value (full-year impact), achieve a 9% improvement in length of stay, cut post-acute placement time in half and improve patient flow across more than 50 hospitals.

Attendees will learn how to:

• Identify the highest-impact drivers of avoidable length of stay tied to post-acute discharge delays,
• Align IT and care management to improve visibility, accountability and timely decision-making,
• Translate length of stay improvement into measurable financial impact and increased capacity, and
• Apply a repeatable, system-ready approach to sustaining care transition improvements at scale while integrating with an existing EMR.

Webinar: How Specialty Practices are Recovering Missed Patients with Agentic AI Outreach, June 16

Every day, provider organizations lose patients they never realize they’ve missed. Patients with open referrals, overdue preventive care, unrebooked no-shows and unresolved balances often fall out of the system entirely. Staff shortages and fragmented workflows make proactive outreach difficult to sustain at scale.

The practices solving this are seeing meaningful results. SENTA Partners is converting 64% of its referral outreach into booked appointments. Annapolis Internal Medicine booked 61% of annual flu shots through AI outreach alone. When a snowstorm closed Boston Bone & Joint Institute’s offices, agentic AI rebooked 53% of affected patients and cut overall call abandonment by 67%. The technology is now in production across more than 5,000 providers.

In this session, specialty practice executives share how they’re using agentic AI to proactively reach patients throughout the care journey. The discussion will focus on which outreach campaigns worked, what conversion rates leaders measured and how teams operationalized these programs.

Attendees will learn:

• Why proactive outreach is becoming a critical part of patient access strategy,
• How specialty practices identified their first high-impact AI outreach use cases, and
• What leaders learned while deploying outreach programs into existing workflows.

When: Tuesday, June 16, 12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m.

Webinar: Telehealth in 2026: A Practical Framework for Compliant, Sustainable Programs, June 10

Telehealth programs don’t stall because of a lack of vision; they stall when policy requirements outpace implementation. This session is designed to close that gap.

Expect a practical exchange of lessons learned and best practices from organizations working through the same implementation challenges.

What you’ll learn:

• How to apply telehealth policy and regulatory requirements to program design,
• Strategies for aligning virtual care services with organizational mission and national initiatives, and
• Practical takeaways and best practices from healthcare peers.

Cost: Free

When: Wednesday, June 10, 1:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m.
