What the data says: A candid conversation on healthcare operations today


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

Hospital operating margins closed out 2025 at an adjusted year-to-date rate of 1.3%, according to Kaufman Hall. At that threshold, a single operational inefficiency can quickly become a financial crisis.

This on-demand session offers a data-driven look at where health systems are struggling — and where early progress is being made.

Drawing from a pre-event survey of 70+ healthcare leaders and live polling conducted with executive, clinical and operational audiences, the conversation covers margin pressure and AI adoption in healthcare operations.

In this session, you will learn:

  • Why financial pressure dominates as the top operational challenge, cited by 52% of surveyed leaders

  • Where AI adoption is breaking down: 30% of executives cited prohibitive cost to scale as the primary obstacle
