Hospitalogists discuss why revenue cycle management (RCM) systems fail: siloed teams, lack of ownership of the full economic outcome, and a focus on process over results. Targeted automation and AI help where ROI and accountability are clear, but new platforms alone don’t fix systemic issues. Rural hospitals face fragility with over 40% operating at a loss; over 417 are vulnerable to closure. Telehealth, AI, and integrated care models are prioritized in state Rural Health Trust (RHT) plans. Upcoming Executive Briefing on Healthcare Finance scheduled for March 27, 2026 emphasizes trends in spending, reimbursement, and legislative impacts.

• Over 50% of rural hospitals in states without Medicaid expansion operate at a loss.
• Many rural hospitals have cut key services such as obstetrics, surgery, and chemotherapy.
• Behavioral health shortages affect 89% of rural census tracts.

Podcast episode features healthcare leaders discussing AI adoption, consumer expectations, and 2026 healthcare forecasts.

Sponsored by Ursa Health and Lumeris with solutions for value-based care and AI-supported primary care continuity.
