On this episode of Champions of Care, a Champion Chair podcast and your leading source for industry-leading insights and thought leadership about medical seating and more, BSA LifeStructures’ Jen Worley and Karen Tobin joined host Daniel Litwin to outline how access to more informative and actionable data has elevated the way healthcare design promotes healing, learning and discovery.

BSA LifeStructures focuses on integrating data into the design process, helping designers craft progressive and sustainable structures that help designers achieve those core goals.

“Our mission has always been to partner with our clients and be a national leader in healing, learning and discovery, with the ultimate goal to improve lives,” Worley said. “We’re really excited about continuing that mission and being a part of this generation going forward.”

In today’s world, that means helping designers navigate the ever-growing world of technological innovation and the overwhelming amount of data those innovations produce to craft the right space for the right purpose.

To identify the relevant metrics per project, BSA LifeStructures looks to each market, in this case healthcare, to create a set of metrics that matter, or central metrics that can guide design. Then, for each project, more specific metrics can be selected in additional sessions.

In the realm of treatment spaces for oncology, biologics, and other infusion treatments, Worley and Tobin said there are some “givens” for these environments, such as infection control, ease of cleaning, and more. From there, specific environments and goals can help inform the specification of all of the medical seating.

Black Book: AI may make some outsourced health plan work cheaper to bring in-house

Black Book: AI may make some outsourced health plan work cheaper to bring in-house

U.S. health plan administrative costs rose 2.7% to about $69.2 billion in the first half of 2026, even as margins improved to 4.1%. Black Book Research's 2027 outlook says AI is starting to move payer sourcing in both directions. Demand for specialist vendors stays strong in some functions, while automation could make in-house or hybrid models viable in others. The report recommends comparing each major outsourced service with rival vendors and the best internal or hybrid option, and checking whether projected savings become actual cash.

  • 01Every major outsourced payer service should be benchmarked against a rival vendor and against the plan's best feasible internal or hybrid model, a three-way contest at each renewal.
  • 02Avoided vacancies, projected productivity gains and payment recoveries are not recurring cash, so outsourcing savings should not be assumed to fund AI until the service, AI and funding cases each stand on their own.
  • 03Provider data sits on both sides of the sourcing question: it is a top pain point and a specialist-demand area, yet also one of the functions where automation could make hybrid or in-house models viable.

Hugh Chatham surgical tech program draws 65 for 12 seats

Hugh Chatham surgical tech program draws 65 for 12 seats

Hugh Chatham Health and Alleghany Health marked one year with Advocate Health as a surgical technology program drew 65 applicants for 12 seats. An anniversary release lists $11.3 million in pay and rewards and a $19.3 million capital figure, and says nearly 1,000 patients were connected to specialty and higher-acuity services through Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist. Local training seats look like the next limit in Elkin.

  • 01In rural North Carolina, a new surgical technology program drew more than five applicants per seat, which points to training capacity, not interest, as the thing to expand.
  • 02Pay and rewards totaled $11.3 million in year one, versus a $19.3 million capital figure—about 58% as large, by MarketScale’s arithmetic.
  • 03Nearly 1,000 patients were connected to specialty and higher-acuity services versus just over 70 virtual consultations and encounters (about 14:1 by MarketScale’s arithmetic), with expanded virtual care planned for year two.

Study: AI draft echo reports cut cardiologist time 46%

Late-breaking research presented November 9 at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2026 reported that AI-drafted preliminary echocardiogram reports were comparable to human drafts. Cardiologists averaged 4.6 minutes finalizing AI drafts versus 8.5 minutes without AI. The findings are a non-peer-reviewed abstract.

  • 01Cardiologists averaged 4.6 minutes finalizing AI-drafted echo reports versus 8.5 minutes without AI, about 46% less time.
  • 02Cardiologists made substantial changes to 50.6% of AI drafts and 49.7% of human drafts.
  • 03The research used 1,200 echocardiograms from 21 Kaiser Permanente Northern California medical centers.
