Health systems across the country face a common challenge: improving access and quality while managing limited capacity and growing demand. In this keynote, Dr. Marjorie Bessel, Chief Clinical Officer at Banner Health, (who was named as one of Modern Healthcare’s 50 Most Influential Clinical Executives for 2025) will share how a system-wide initiative combining real-time data, interdisciplinary teamwork, and operational alignment transformed patient flow and care performance across six states.
By creating a diverse team, breaking down silos and coordinating daily decision-making across clinical specialties and care settings—including rehabilitation, home-based care, and post-acute services—Banner created smoother care transitions which improved care agility. The results were significant: capacity equivalent to 100 additional beds and the ability to serve nearly 10,000 more patients in a single year.
