Fewer resources, same patient needs: How AI can bridge the gap post-OBBBA


Friday, September 26th, 2025 | 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM CT

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act is poised to disrupt healthcare's financial landscape. With more Americans expected to lose healthcare coverage, hospitals face a growing patient population with limited ability to pay — but the same clinical needs.

Providers must prepare now to deliver high-quality care with fewer resources. That's where AI comes in.

This session unpacks how AI-powered engagement and automation tools are helping health systems improve access, adherence and prevention — without inflating costs or clinician workloads. From proactive reminders to asynchronous care models and personalized outreach, these strategies can ensure patients stay on track even when coverage disappears.

Insights include:
 
  • How AI can boost adherence with automated nudges for medication, physical therapy and care plans
  • Ways to scale asynchronous, low-cost care that keeps patients out of the hospital
  • Strategies to simplify care delivery while improving experience — even in resource-strapped settings
