Upcoming Live Webinars
May 19 | Stanford Health Care’s Playbook for Rich Financial Insight
Healthcare organizations generate massive volumes of clinical and financial data, but legacy Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems often make it hard for finance teams to turn that data into timely, actionable insight. In this session, Stanford Health Care will share how its finance team moved off a legacy ERP and redesigned financial processes for the future of work. By connecting operational and financial data, Stanford established a new standard of insight. Today, the team has clear visibility into service line and provider-level performance, reconciles transactions daily, and maintains stronger audit trails and financial controls. The result: Less time spent chasing data and manual work – and more time focused on analysis, decision-making, and action.
May 26 | Preventing Medical Denials Before They Start
Medical necessity denials remain one of the most persistent and expensive challenges in the revenue cycle. They create rework, delay reimbursement, and force revenue cycle, coding and clinical teams into reactive appeals processes that drain time and cash flow. In this webinar, we will share real examples of how organizations have seamlessly moved denials prevention upstream. By leveraging content that powers strengthening documentation, aligning clinical and coding workflows with commercial payer policies, and validating medical necessity requirements earlier in the process so claims are more accurate before submission. We will also discuss other coding and denials solutions that can work together.
May 27 | Value in Practice Series 4 of 5: Preparing for CMMI’s New ASM Model
CMMI’s new mandatory Ambulatory Specialty Model (ASM) places specialists who treat heart failure and low back pain under two-sided financial risk and accountability for outcomes, cost, care coordination and interoperability. This webinar will break down the fundamentals of ASM and translate them into practical readiness steps for health systems, physician groups, and clinically integrated networks. Learn how to strengthen coordination between specialty and primary care teams, assess readiness to meet ASM expectations, identify levers to optimize performance and prepare for two-sided risk.
May 28 | Inpatient Autonomous Coding – Your Next Building Block
Inpatient coding is complex: It is impacted by diagnosis, procedures, documentation variability, DRG assignment, length of stay and payer edits — creating reimbursement and compliance risk. This webinar presents the concept of autonomous coding for inpatient coding, addressing backlogs, staffing constraints and denials exposure, and emphasizing how expert-guided automation is a critical building block toward efficiency and compliance. Learn practical approaches to scaling inpatient automation, how it integrates within existing coding operations, and how measurable accuracy, coder control, evidence-based outcomes and compliance safeguards mark each step in an organization’s transition toward autonomous coding.
June 2 | Turning Denial Data into Margin Improvement
Too often, insurance A/R is viewed as a clean-up function; one that is constrained, restricted and constantly evolving. But when approached strategically, insurance A/R becomes a powerful lever for margin improvement. This session will show how accurate denial informatics and trending transforms insurance A/R from a reactive backlog into a structured, repeatable operating model that prevents revenue leakage before it occurs. Attendees will learn how to identify true root causes, distinguish systemic issues from one-off payer behavior and translate denial data into clear operational priorities.

June 4 | Implementation to Impact: Lessons from Lompoc
Community hospitals are under increasing pressure to improve operational performance while sustaining financial health with limited resources. This session examines how Lompoc Valley Medical Center modernized its technology by expanding its electronic health record and changing financial systems through a coordinated initiative. The organization’s chief financial officer will share leadership insights on aligning clinical, operational, and financial priorities during a major system transition. Attendees will gain practical lessons on governance, cross-functional collaboration and strategies that help community hospitals turn technology investments into measurable operational and financial improvements that ultimately enhance patient & community care.
June 18 | Smarter Denial Prevention That Protects Revenue – No New Tools
Denials often originate long before a claim is submitted. Gaps in medical necessity, site of care selection, and preventive screening validation contribute to avoidable denials, administrative burden, and lost revenue. This HFMA session explores how leading organizations are shifting from reactive denial management to proactive prevention by embedding real time validation into clinical workflows. Learn how to reduce denials, minimize rework, and protect revenue without adding complex tools or software to your EHR.
June 25 | How UPMC turned statement work into profit protection
Supplier statements are a critical, often underused control in large health systems—revealing missed credits, unrecorded invoices, and ledger discrepancies that affect balance sheet accuracy, close integrity, and working capital. This CFO-focused session explores how leading health systems are strengthening control through structured, best-practice statement reconciliation. We’ll also show how AI is shifting teams from reactive recovery audits to proactive exception management, reducing post-close disruption. Learn how finance teams are improving auditability and AP performance across payment accuracy, cycle time, and discount capture.
August 26 | Value in Practice Series 5 of 5: Maximizing Revenue in Value-Based Care
The University of Colorado Medicine has built a unified, data-driven model to strengthen primary care performance across its value-based contracts. In this session, CU Medicine’s centralized Office of Value-Based Performance drives systemwide alignment, improves care delivery, and maximizes revenue opportunities.
The presenters will walk through CU Medicine’s matrixed population health structure, the collaborative model used across system and clinic-based primary care, and the centralized resources that support contract performance. They will highlight key revenue drivers, lessons learned, and practical strategies attendees can apply within their own organizations. Notable outcomes of this work, include achieving shared savings across all value-based models , increasing annual wellness visits and launching an initiative to quantify the value of FTEs—a structured approach to calculating how individual roles contribute to success in value-based care.
