Mayo Clinic leaders on how quality is a catalyst for better margin, outcomes and trust


Thursday, July 16th, 2026 | 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM CT 

Hospitals are under pressure to deliver measurable gains in outcomes, patient trust and financial performance. Most organizations have pockets of excellence, but few convert those wins into reliable, systemwide results.

In this session, two Mayo Clinic leaders will share how they connect quality to growth by building a scalable improvement system that aligns governance, front-line engagement and AI-enabled workflow design with Mayo Clinic Platform capabilities. Through a real-world sepsis case study, they will show how to move from isolated projects to an enterprise operating model that raises reliability, strengthens reputation and supports value-based care performance.

Learnings include:
 
  • How to connect quality to financial performance, reputation and growth
  • How to build a scalable improvement operating model with governance and frontline problem-solving
  • How to translate a sepsis improvement initiative into workflow design and technology enablement
  • How to implement a repeatable roadmap with Mayo Clinic Platform that spreads and sustains results across sites
