AHA Webinar | Improving Patient Flow and Capacity Management Across Rural Health Systems

As rural hospitals face workforce shortages, rising patient acuity, and ongoing financial pressures, effective capacity management is essential to improving access, patient flow, and operational performance. Join the American Hospital Association's Rural Health Services team and leaders from the Hospital Capacity Management Consortium (HCMC), the leading professional organization dedicated to hospital capacity management, for an engaging discussion on optimizing patient flow, improving throughput, and maximizing resources across rural facilities and systems.

Participants will learn how capacity management principles can strengthen care delivery, reduce bottlenecks, improve transfer processes, and enhance coordination across rural hospital networks. The conversation will highlight practical strategies and real-world insights that executives can adapt to their own organizations.

Register today to reserve your spot and join fellow rural health system leaders for this important discussion.

Featured speakers:

• Roy Boland, Vice President, Clinical Efficiency Kaufman Hall; HCMC Advisory Board Member
• Charles Larsen, Co-Founder & Chief Nursing Officer, Blackbox Healthcare Solutions
