SUMMARY:WEBINAR | Healing from Within: Strategies to Retain\, Recruit\, and Support Nurses
DESCRIPTION:An organization’s approach to staff well-being is a vital reflection of its commitment to the community as a whole. Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers\, a key provider 55 miles southwest of Chicago in Morris\, IL\, has been serving its community since 1906. The organization encompasses an 89-bed hospital and 27 clinic locations\, employing nearly 2000 staff\, volunteers\, and providers. \nFacing a significant loss of nearly half its staff between 2020 and 2023\, leadership recognized the urgent need for a holistic approach to employee well-being. A nursing leadership task force developed “The Future of Nursing” plan\, which has led to substantial investments\, including establishing a local YMCA to support the employee wellness program and physical improvements like a mental health break room and an outdoor garden at their facilities. \nMorris Hospital’s efforts show significant success in improved RN engagement and decreased turnover levels\, as well as increased reported patient safety culture as measured by AHRQ’s SOPS. Kim Landers\, MS\, RN\, NEA-BC\, CENP\, FAONL\, FACHE\, VP of Patient Care Services/CNE\, and Kathleen Rombach\, MSN\, RN\, CNML\, Assistant VP of Patient Care Services\, will present this successful approach to healing from within. \n

SUMMARY:WEBINAR | Spatial Computing: The Future of Clinical Work
DESCRIPTION:A new computing platform is emerging in healthcare\, distinct from AI. In this session\, Dr. Tommy Korn\, Chief Spatial Computing Officer and Ophthalmologist at Sharp HealthCare explores how spatial computing enables clinicians to engage with information with greater depth\, context\, and precision\, particularly across surgery\, imaging\, and virtual care. Drawing from real-world frontline clinical work\, he examines how spatial technologies can redefine clinical work\, education\, telehealth\, and collaboration\, while allowing technology to move into the background and introduce a new computing paradigm shift\, one that will redefine work\, create new roles\, and enable entirely new categories of clinical and operational capability.

SUMMARY:Roundtable | Role of the CIO / IT in the age of AI
DESCRIPTION:  \nPlease register on Zoom \nChartis Moderators: \n\nSamantha (Samme) Diaz\, Partner in Digital and Technology Transformation\nBret Anderson\, Principal in the Digital Transformation Practice\n\nProvider Panelists: \n\nJeff Gautney\, CIO\, Rush University Medical Center\nChad Jones\, CIO\, Baylor Scott and White\n\nAs health systems confront a widening gap between rising care demand and constrained labor\, artificial intelligence is emerging as a critical lever for scale—reshaping the role of the CIO as AI moves from experimentation to enterprise adoption. Today’s technology leaders are accountable not only for shaping AI strategy and modernizing core IT functions\, but for building the organizational “chassis” that enables AI adoption and drives enterprise-wide change—often beyond what the role has traditionally been equipped to deliver.  Accountable for shaping AI strategy\, enabling new operating models\, and driving measurable clinical and business impact\, leaders are navigating evolving reporting structures and expanding expectations on top of these new responsibilities. Join Chartis partners Samme Diaz and Bret Anderson for a peer-driven discussion alongside Jeff Gautney\, CIO\, Rush University System for Health\, and Chad Jones\, CIO\, Baylor Scott & White Health\, on how the CIO role is evolving\, what’s at stake\, and what it takes to lead in the age of AI. \nLearning Objectives \nBy the end of this roundtable\, participants will be able to: \n\nAssess how the CIO role is evolving toward enterprise transformation leadership and identify the implications for their own scope\, influence\, and organizational positioning.\nEvaluate how AI is reshaping CIO priorities across care delivery and operations\, as leaders respond to capacity and workforce constraints. Apply peer insights to inform strategic priorities and decision making.\nIdentify practical actions to strengthen leadership\, governance\, and C-suite partnerships as AI becomes a critical lever for addressing workforce constraints and driving enterprise transformation.
