Becker’s Healthcare is hosting five webinars over the next week covering workforce planning for 2027, how health systems evaluate and scale clinical artificial intelligence, supply cost variation at the procedure level, how large language models are built for healthcare and physician-led cancer care for fully insured populations.
Building the workforce your health system will need in 2027
Tuesday, Sept. 29 | 11 a.m.-12 p.m. CT
Healthcare organizations are projected to face about 1.9 million job openings a year through 2034, driven by rising demand and the need to replace workers leaving the field. Health systems have typically tackled turnover, vacancies, agency spend and leadership pipelines one at a time, but those pressures are interconnected. HR and workforce leaders will discuss three shifts reshaping how organizations prepare for future care demand, including how connected data surfaces burnout and staffing risk earlier. Register here.
From Evaluation to Enterprise Value: How Health Systems Choose, Measure, and Expand Clinical AI
Tuesday, Sept. 29 | 12-1 p.m. CT
As clinical AI moves from isolated deployments to enterprise infrastructure, the question shifts from whether a tool works to which ones deliver value now and keep evolving with the organization. Leaders from a pediatric hospital and a large health system will discuss how they assess quality and workflow fit, define value across clinician, patient, operational and financial dimensions, and use clinician feedback to guide phased adoption.

Unlock savings with clinical value stewardship — Lessons from UChicago Medicine
Wednesday, Sept. 30 | 10:30-11:30 a.m. CT
Most supply savings programs stop at the contract, and what remains sits in clinical detail no spend report captures: two physicians performing the same procedure, consuming different supplies at different cost, against reimbursement that does not match. Multiplied across a procedural portfolio, that variation shapes financial performance without anyone measuring it. Speakers will show what procedure- and physician-level data makes visible, including the evidence needed to defend robotics investments and vendor decisions. Register here.
Behind the Curtain: How LLMs Are Actually Built for Healthcare and What to Know Before You Deploy
Wednesday, Sept. 30 | 12-1 p.m. CT
Every health system is being asked to make decisions about AI, and few leaders have had the chance to hear from the people who actually build it. Clinical and research leaders will explain how a healthcare-specific large language model differs from a general-purpose one, how safety is engineered into the model rather than bolted on, and what to demand from any agentic AI before it touches a patient. The session closes with a live demo of an agent builder that runs clinical certification before an agent reaches a patient. Register here.
Beyond Navigation: How Evry Health and Color Are Transforming Cancer Care for a Fully-Insured Population
Wednesday, Sept. 30 | 1-2 p.m. CT
Nurse-led navigation has helped health plans support members through cancer, but coordination alone does not reach the clinical decisions that most influence outcomes and cost. Speakers will share results from the first six months of a physician-led, end-to-end cancer care program built for a fully insured population, including a 33% increase in guideline-concordant screening adherence and a 3.4:1 return on investment.
