In this episode of Edge Perspectives, host Trevor DaRin is joined by Justin Cassidy, PhD, Strategy Intelligence expert at Vizient, to explore how academic medical centers are positioning themselves for strategic growth. Drawing on Vizient's latest forecasting, Justin breaks down the acuity-based volume shifts reshaping AMC strategy — and why capacity management, smart backfill decisions, and access enablement are the critical levers for high-performing systems.
Note to our listeners: Sg2 Perspectives was recently renamed Edge Perspectives. Same great hosts, same great content, expanding to cover data-driven market intelligence, quality and operations insights from health care provider leaders. There is no action needed for you to keep this podcast in your subscriptions and feeds. But you will see a new logo and a new name. We are always excited to get ideas and feedback from our listeners.
