Speaking topics

  • Every missed call is a missed admission. Where treatment centers leak high-intent callers and the routing, coverage, and AI fixes that recover them.
  • AI voice agents in behavioral health admissions. What works, what to avoid, and how to deploy agents safely inside the call flow.
  • From cost per lead to cost per admission. How to build attribution that ties marketing spend to real admissions.
  • Building a centralized admissions department. Roles, systems, and the weekly rhythm behind multi-facility intake.
  • The admissions tech stack. Phone, call tracking, CRM, EMR handoff, and reporting, and how they should connect.
