Upcoming Live Webinars
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 16 | How da Vinci Surgery Drove Revenue Growth
Join John Burton, Vice President of System Surgical Services at Memorial Hermann as he explains how the strategic expansion of robotic surgery programs can drive meaningful revenue growth across complex health systems. This webinar will examine key operational levers, including optimizing perioperative services, improving throughput, and strengthening physician alignment to enhance both financial and clinical performance. Attendees will gain practical insights into scaling minimally invasive surgery programs while building sustainable, high-performing service lines.
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.
June 30 | Outscaled by denials? Let AI operationalize revenue
Outscaled by denials? Let AI operationalize revenue
Clinical denials are growing in volume and complexity, and hiring more staff isn’t the answer. As payers expand post-care reviews and issue medical-necessity and DRG challenges, revenue cycle, health information management, clinical documentation integrity and clinical teams are struggling to keep up.
Leading health systems are getting ahead of denials by catching risks earlier, before claims are submitted. In this session, we’ll walk through how AI and connected workflows can flag documentation gaps, coding opportunities, sequencing issues and other claim risks at the point of care. You’ll leave with a practical action plan to reduce appeals, clear backlogs and protect revenue without replacing your EHR.
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.
