How 3 CFOs are future-proofing hospital finances


This webinar is on-demand and can be viewed at your convenience. 

Hospital and health system CFOs are making some of the toughest financial calls in a generation, and the margin for error has never been thinner. With reimbursement pressures mounting and policy shifts reshaping payer mix, finance leaders can no longer rely on retrospective, month-late reporting. The organizations getting ahead are those reenvisioning revenue cycle operations, workforce design and capital allocation — and using AI to do it in real time, not after the fact.

In this on-demand panel, CFOs from University of Maryland Medical System, County of Santa Clara Health System and Speare Memorial Hospital share how they're navigating today's pressures and positioning their organizations for long-term stability. They also discuss where AI is meaningfully changing the finance function — from real-time operational insight to closing chronic workforce gaps in rural environments, including a candid look at how AI tools have become a recruitment lever and a buffer against turnover in hard-to-staff roles like coding and clinical documentation.

You'll hear candid perspectives on:
 
  • How CFOs are restructuring revenue cycle and denial management under severe margin pressure
  • Capital prioritization strategies when budgets cannot cover every critical need
  • The role AI and workforce redesign are playing in long-term financial resilience
  • Why financial leadership increasingly requires deep operational relationships — and how CFOs are building them
