Data-driven leadership: Aligning clinical and financial priorities for sustainable healthcare transformation


Thursday, July 24th, 2025 | 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM CT

Health systems face a familiar trifecta of challenges: workforce shortages, financial strain and shifting patient expectations. Without integrated data strategies, leaders risk flying blind — reacting to trends instead of driving change.

This session brings together executives from the University of Maryland Medical System, CHI Health, Vituity, Fairview Health Medical Group, and Lehigh Valley Health Network to share how they're modernizing infrastructure, empowering front-line teams and building cultures of transparency to drive measurable improvements in length of stay, patient satisfaction and cost containment.

From AI-enabled care navigation to real-time quality improvement platforms, the panel will offer actionable insights on harnessing data as a retrospective tool and a real-time catalyst for innovation.

Key takeaways:
 
  • How UMMS built an analytics backbone for post-acute decision-making
  • Tactics CHI Health uses to align clinical KPIs with operational goals
  • How Vituity deploys data to drive measurable front-line improvements
