Becker’s Healthcare is hosting five webinars Oct. 16-20 covering reimbursement leakage in clinical pathology, supply chain friction in care delivery, predicting drug shortages before they reach the order screen, what one children’s hospital learned deploying artificial intelligence for patient translation and how AI is reshaping clinical equipment investment decisions.
The clinical pathology revenue your group may be leaving on the table
Friday, Oct. 16 | 10-11 a.m. CT
For any group operating under payer contracts, reimbursement shifts with every policy change, fee schedule update and contract renewal, and revenue can slip before anyone notices. One place that happens quietly is the professional component of clinical pathology. Pathology groups and the finance leaders who support them will get a framework for evaluating that opportunity: which payer and contract details to review, and how reporting surfaces denials and quiet leakage before it compounds.

What 3 health systems learned about removing friction from care delivery
Monday, Oct. 19 | 12-1 p.m. CT
Supply chain leaders increasingly sit between clinicians and the operational barriers that slow care down — product availability, visibility, workflow design and the logistics behind more complex care environments. Leaders from three health systems will discuss how they are reducing that friction, strengthening partnerships with clinical teams and redefining what success looks like for a modern supply chain.

See It Coming: A Predictive Approach To Drug Shortage Management
Tuesday, Oct. 20 | 11 a.m.-12 p.m. CT
Active drug shortages in the U.S. reached 227 in the second quarter of 2026, a third consecutive quarterly increase, according to the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists. Most pharmacy teams still learn about them through a spreadsheet, a weekly meeting and a failed order — by which point which alternative, which vendor and how to allocate all have to be decided in an afternoon. Speakers will walk through a predictive watchlist that flags likely shortages up to 60 days out and the workflow behind it. Register here.
From Translation Bottleneck to Real-Time Communication: Lessons from Children’s Hospital Los Angeles’ AI Journey
Tuesday, Oct. 20 | 12-1 p.m. CT
Plenty of health systems are exploring AI; fewer have moved from experimentation to operational impact. Leaders from Children’s Hospital Los Angeles will share how they implemented AI-assisted translation for patient communications, covering workflow redesign, governance, quality assurance and adoption, and what it took to get translated discharge instructions out faster. A fireside discussion on evaluating AI opportunities and avoiding common implementation pitfalls follows. Register here.
Smarter capital, stronger margins: How AI is reshaping clinical equipment investment decisions
Tuesday, Oct. 20 | 1-2 p.m. CT
Health system leaders are under pressure to cut capital costs, eliminate equipment redundancy and defend replacement cycles, often with incomplete data and spreadsheet-based workflows that leave purchasing decisions driven more by institutional habit than evidence. Speakers will discuss how AI agents embedded in clinical asset management surface utilization patterns, repair cost trends and replacement indicators that otherwise stay hidden across fragmented systems and teams.
