This is a Zoom meeting starting at 6:30 PM Central Std. Time.

Abstract

Imagine a healthcare system where patient flow is as seamless as hotel check-ins, where admissions, discharges, and staffing are proactively coordinated based on real-time, predictive data. In this vision, patients receive timely care, staff are empowered to focus on what matters most, and operational decisions are made with confidence and clarity.
But today’s reality tells a different story. Hospitals face unpredictable patient demand, delayed discharges, overburdened units, and a workforce stretched to its limits. Nursing leaders make critical decisions with limited visibility, while patients experience delays and staff face burnout.
This presentation explores how health systems can bridge this gap by leveraging AI-powered, purpose-built technology that goes beyond the limitations of traditional EHRs. Learn how predictive insights and workflow automation can drive proactive decision-making, optimize operational capacity, and improve patient and staff experiences.
We’ll also examine the root drivers of these challenges, including aging populations, healthcare workforce shortages, and financial pressures, and outline how AI can support transformational solutions in three critical areas: patient experience, healthcare workforce wellbeing, and the business of medicine.
Join us to discover how forward-thinking health systems are turning complexity into coordination and how your organization can do the same.
