Reducing ED boarding & boosting surgical growth: Inside Jackson Health's AI strategy


Thursday, August 28th, 2025 | 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM CT

Medicaid cuts and eroding margins are top of mind for all health system leaders, and operational complexity makes matters worse. Jackson Health System faced similar obstacles - until leaders built a strategic AI framework that goes beyond the EHR.

In this webinar, Jackson Health's president and COO will share how the team unlocked a 0.42-day reduction in excess days, a 4.5% increase in primetime OR utilization, and an 18% drop in ED boarding times and $6.7 million in annualized savings.

You'll learn how to:
 
  • Develop an AI strategy to address inpatient capacity and surgical growth
  • Build alignment for enterprise AI investments that deliver ROI
  • Drive adoption of AI assistants across clinical and operational teams
