In this episode, host Stephanie Dorwart, CEO of Altius Healthcare Consulting Group, sits down with Todd Birch and Robin Bradbury—the leadership team behind PrognostiCare—to explore how predictive intelligence is changing the way healthcare organizations make decisions. Drawing on decades of experience as hospital executives, Todd and Robin share why so many leaders remain stuck in reactive mode—and how real-time data can help them finally get ahead of the curve.

The conversation centers on two of healthcare’s most persistent and costly challenges: staff retention and patient leakage. Todd and Robin explain how “Moneyball-style” analytics can reveal patterns that traditional reports miss, allowing leaders to identify which employees are at risk of leaving before they resign, and to understand where patients are going, why they’re going there, and what can be done to keep them within the system.

Along the way, the discussion unpacks the hidden costs of turnover—expenses that rarely show up clearly on a balance sheet—and how organizations can begin to calculate the true financial and cultural impact of losing the wrong people. Stephanie, Todd, and Robin also explore how AI and predictive modeling shift leadership from looking backward at lagging indicators to making informed decisions based on what’s likely to happen next.

A recurring theme is the “Moneyball” mindset itself: focusing less on vanity metrics and more on the data points that truly drive outcomes in workforce stability and market share. The episode highlights how retaining the right people creates ripple effects that extend far beyond staffing—impacting morale, patient experience, and long-term financial health.

Interwoven throughout the conversation are real-world success stories, moments of CFO humor, and candid reflections that show how technology, transparency, and a human-centered approach can work together to reshape healthcare strategy.
