SUMMARY:FIRESIDE CHAT | Violence as a Public Health Crisis: What Healthcare Leaders Must Do Now
DESCRIPTION:Gun violence\, immigration raids\, rising incivility\, and escalating violence within healthcare settings are issues no community—or health system—is immune to. As more individuals present in acute crisis or severe emotional dysregulation\, hospitals and clinics are increasingly becoming sites of harm not only for patients\, but for the care teams who serve them. \nJoin Michael Dowling\, CEO Emeritus of Northwell Health\, and Lisa Shannon\, CEO of Allina Health\, for a candid conversation about the realities of violence and social unrest as critical public health crises that demand decisive\, values‑driven leadership. Moderated by John Glaser\, Chair of the Scottsdale Institute’s Board\, this timely discussion is essential for healthcare executives navigating an environment where the safety of caregivers is under growing threat. \nAs the social fabric continues to fray\, healthcare leaders face a dual—and often competing—responsibility: delivering compassionate care to people in profound distress while ensuring a safe environment for staff who are increasingly exposed to verbal abuse\, physical assaults\, and moral injury. This fireside chat will explore how violence inside and outside healthcare facilities intersects with broader societal instability\, and what leaders must do now to respond. \nThis discussion will delve into critical questions\, including: \n\nHow do health systems effectively prevent\, prepare for\, and respond to violence across the continuum—from gun trauma and immigration enforcement disruptions to patient‑initiated harm within care settings?\nWhat is the role of leadership when patients\, staff\, and communities are experiencing heightened crisis\, fear\, and loss of regulation?\nHow can we meaningfully protect care team members from harm while upholding our mission\, values\, and commitment to equitable\, compassionate care in an era of rising incivility and violence?\n\nCenter for Gun Violence Prevention

SUMMARY:WEBINAR | Many Health Care Leaders Are Leaning into Agentic AI As Adoption Hurdles Ease
DESCRIPTION:[vc_column_text css=””][/vc_column_text]\n\n[vc_column_text css=””]\nJay Bhatt\, Managing Director; Maulesh Shukla\, Executive Manager; Lauren O’Hanlon\, Principal\, Deloitte; and Ashwin Singh\, Vice President\, Revenue Cycle Management\, Jackson Health System. Join us as we dive deeper on the insights from Deloitte’s recent publication on how Agentic AI is showing up with health care organizations. The findings suggest that long-standing AI adoption challenges such as technical talent\, resistance to change\, and data quality\, are beginning to ease. Health care leaders are increasing investment in agentic AI\, but returns may depend on how quickly their organizations can scale beyond pilots. Join to learn more about how scaling agentic AI responsibly can unlock measurable improvements in consumer engagement\, care delivery\, workforce capacity\, and core administrative and payment workflows.[/vc_column_text]

SUMMARY:WEBINAR | Partnering for Adoption\, Innovation\, Accountability | Lessons from Leading Health Systems in Front-End Automation
DESCRIPTION:Jessica Godbey\, Vice President of Patient Access\, Carle Health; and Candice Hoshi\, Vice President\, Revenue Cycle\, UCHealth. Health systems are under increasing pressure to modernize front-end revenue cycle operations while managing payer complexity\, workforce constraints\, and rising expectations for patient access. Many organizations are turning to automation to reduce administrative burden\, but the path to adoption and scale can look very different depending on where an organization begins. \nIn this session\, revenue cycle leaders from Carle Health and UCHealth will share their real-world experiences advancing automation across prior authorization and front-end workflows. One organization began with highly manual processes and focused on stabilizing operations through automation\, while the other approached the journey from a more strategic perspective—reassessing technology partnerships and co-developing solutions designed to better align with provider needs. Together\, they will discuss the operational\, leadership\, and governance considerations that shape successful automation strategies and how both organizations are working to reduce patient administrative friction while enabling staff to focus on higher-value work. \nKey Takeaways \n\nHow health systems are approaching front-end automation from different starting points—from operational adoption to strategic partnership and co-development\nLessons learned in managing change\, building staff trust\, and aligning cross-functional teams around new workflows\nThe importance of designing automation around provider needs rather than fragmented point solutions\nHow leaders are evaluating success by connecting automation performance to operational outcomes and denial patterns

SUMMARY:WEBINAR | Inside Trinity Health’s $100M IT Cost Optimization Strategy through Archiving and Decommissioning
DESCRIPTION:[vc_column_text css=””]  \n[/vc_column_text]\n\n[vc_column_text css=””]Mike Prokic\, Chief IT Strategy Officer; and Nick O’Connor\, Chief Technology Officer\, Trinity Health. Healthcare systems are facing unprecedented financial pressure\, from federal reimbursement cuts and labor inflation to the operational drag of decades of M&A–driven application sprawl. In this webinar\, Trinity Health C-suite IT leaders share how they turned application decommissioning into a repeatable\, capital-funded financial strategy that is removing over $100 million in recurring IT operating expenses. \nModerated by Clearsense CEO Jason Rose\, this case-study–driven discussion explores how Trinity Health systematically retired nearly 800 applications across 92 hospitals while preserving clinical and financial access\, accelerating M&A synergies\, and reducing infrastructure and security risk. Attendees will learn how Trinity built an “assembly line” approach to archiving and decommissioning\, structuring the program as CapEx under GAAP\, and why active archiving\, not just system shutdowns\, was critical to success. \nThis webinar provides a practical roadmap for CIOs\, CFOs\, and IT leaders at health systems of any size to unlock financial flexibility without compromising patient care or workforce stability.  Documented by Gartner as the best practice for reducing tech debt\, this is a webinar that will bring meaningful and rapid ROI to your health system.[/vc_column_text]

SUMMARY:WEBINAR | Separating Signal from Noise: Building a Real AI Strategy in Healthcare
DESCRIPTION:Artificial intelligence is rapidly moving from experimentation to enterprise priority in healthcare. This session brings a CEO and industry innovator together to unpack what an effective AI strategy actually looks like inside a modern health system. Through the lens of real-world AI initiatives\, attendees will hear how leaders distinguish meaningful investments from noise\, balance point solutions versus enterprise platforms\, and scale AI in ways that drive measurable clinical and operational outcomes. \nGrounded in the experience of deploying AI within a leading health system\, speakers Brendan Carr\, CEO\, Mount Sinai Health System and Elad Walach\, CEO\, Aidoc will highlight what adoption really entails—from integrating multimodal data such as EHR information\, imaging\, and labs\, to achieving tangible improvements in patient care. They will share candid lessons learned\, including common missteps\, the cultural and operational barriers to change\, and how leadership mindsets must evolve to keep pace with rapid innovation. \nLooking ahead\, the conversation will examine the technologies and capabilities poised to reshape care delivery over the next five years—and what separates organizations that get AI right from those that fall behind. Attendees will leave with practical insights on building an AI-forward organization\, aligning strategy with outcomes\, and leading through one of the most transformative shifts in healthcare.
