Healthcare is entering a new era of transformation, and the questions facing health system leaders are becoming increasingly complex: How do organizations move innovation from pilot programs into sustainable operations? Which investments will deliver measurable value? And how can leaders prepare for the future of care delivery while balancing clinical, operational, and financial priorities?

These are the questions Healthcare Innovation will explore in our new Digital Health Intelligence webinar series, launching this August with Hospital at Home at Scale: What 5-Year Stability Means for Health Systems.

The timing could not be more significant. Following the recent five-year extension of federal reimbursement for Hospital at Home programs, health systems have a clearer path forward to move beyond short-term experimentation and begin planning for long-term scale. The conversation is no longer simply whether Hospital at Home can work. It is how organizations can build the infrastructure, workflows, technology, and strategies needed to make it a sustainable model of care.

Introducing the Digital Health Intelligence Webinar Series

Healthcare organizations are navigating one of the most transformative periods in decades. Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing clinical and operational workflows. Cybersecurity has become synonymous with patient safety. Digital health continues to reshape how and where care is delivered. At the same time, healthcare leaders face increasing pressure to improve outcomes while controlling costs and addressing workforce challenges.

The Digital Health Intelligence webinar series was created to help healthcare executives navigate these changes.

Throughout the remainder of 2026, Healthcare Innovation will bring together health system executives, physicians, technology leaders and industry experts to examine the innovations reshaping healthcare and the practical strategies organizations are using to implement them successfully.

Each discussion is designed to move beyond industry buzzwords and focus on real-world experience, measurable outcomes, and lessons healthcare leaders can apply within their own organizations.

Our First Conversation: Hospital at Home at Scale

Our inaugural webinar, Hospital at Home at Scale: What 5-Year Stability Means for Health Systems, takes place on Thursday, August 20, at 11 am ET.

I'll have the opportunity to moderate a conversation with David M. Levine, M.D., one of the nation's leading voices on Hospital at Home, as we explore how the new reimbursement landscape is changing strategic planning across health systems.

Together, we'll examine questions including:

What You'll Learn

• Operational lessons learned around staffing, workflows, and patient selection
• Which financial and clinical metrics health system leaders should prioritize
• Where the evidence supporting Hospital at Home is strongest today and where important research gaps remain
• What healthcare leaders should be doing now to prepare for the next phase of Hospital at Home
• Whether your organization already operates a Hospital at Home program or is beginning to evaluate one, this discussion will provide practical insights into the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead.

Looking Beyond August

Hospital at Home is just the beginning.

Future Digital Health Intelligence webinars will examine several of healthcare's most important strategic priorities, including:
