Most health systems still plan around instinct. Atlantic Health System spent nearly a decade replacing it with evidence.

For close to nine years, Atlantic Health System has put demand forecasting at the center of strategic planning. In this fireside chat, Atlantic Health leaders break down how claims-based forecasts now shape service line development, site-of-service decisions and multi-year financial planning.

They’ll show how the system moved forecasting out of a single department and made it a shared organizational mindset, while laying the groundwork for the next step: automated forecast integration.

In this session, you’ll learn:

  • How Atlantic Health System used claims-based forecasts to replace intuition with evidence
  • How to apply forecasting to strategy planning and growth decisions
  • How to evaluate growth opportunities against real market demand
