Building the Workforce Behind Healthcare: Transformation How Talent, AI, and Leadership Are Reshaping the Future of Care
Thursday, August 6th, 2026 | 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM CT
From building state-of-the-art, tech-enabled hospitals to expanding virtual and AI-driven care models, organizations are redefining what roles, skills, and leadership look like. At the same time, recruiting and retaining the right talent is becoming more difficult, driven by evolving training requirements, limited candidate pools, and rising competition for specialized expertise.
This session explores how healthcare leaders are rethinking workforce strategy to meet these demands. We’ll examine what leaders are prioritizing today, why traditional recruiting models are falling short, and how new workforce approaches—from flexible staffing models to rethinking location constraints—are emerging to fill the gap.
Attendees will walk away with a clearer understanding of how to prepare, source, and build a workforce that is ready for the future of healthcare transformation.
