In this episode, Jim Calko sits down with Rebecca Whitehead, Principal and Nashville Market Leader at The Gunter Group, to talk about process optimization in healthcare. Rebecca brings over 20 years of experience across providers, behavioral health, health insurance, and population health and has seen it from both sides as both an executive and a consultant.

Rebecca shares two real-world examples of process improvement in action: cutting patient admission time in half at a behavioral health company, and reducing clinical documentation time by 40% at an outpatient provider by simplifying their EMR workflow. She also weighs in on what healthcare leaders should be paying attention to right now, including the growing role of AI in documentation and the financial pressures reshaping the industry.

If you're a healthcare leader responsible for operations, finance, or enterprise transformation, this episode is worth your time.
