Making the business case for AI-powered referral management in post-acute care

Hospitals expect answers in minutes, but most post-acute intake processes were built for a slower era of faxes, retyping, and side-system checks. This session explores how AI-enabled referral management platforms help operators respond faster, convert more demand and get patients the right care sooner.

Join speakers Kyle Linn, Vice President of Operations at NewGen Administrative Services, Bethnie M., Business Development Manager at Direct Supply pac-IQ and Adam Tobbe, RN, Senior Director at Direct Supply pac-IQ, along with moderator Kimberly Marselas, Editor at McKnight's Long-Term Care News.

Attendees will learn:
- Where referrals slip through the cracks and how to spot manual intake failure points
- How faster decisions improve patient outcomes and strengthen partner trust
- What adoption-friendly tech looks like so software bends to your workflow
- How to build the case internally with a 30-day path to a credible recommendation
