Financial instability can predict a patient’s recovery as powerfully as medication adherence. Healthcare organizations rarely treat it that way.
Financial well-being is not adjacent to patient care. It is embedded in it. A serious illness or a forced early retirement can set off a cascade of financial consequences that lasts decades, and financial strain and poor health reinforce one another in both directions.
At the intersection sits a growing crisis. Cognitive decline leaves older adults exposed to a scam epidemic supercharged by AI, and the first evidence of that decline often appears in a checkbook rather than a clinic.
Attendees will learn:
- How financial instability and poor health reinforce one another, especially for lower-income and hourly workers.
- Why financial mismanagement can signal cognitive decline, and what that means for clinical care.
- How scams built with AI are increasing fraud risk for older adults.
- One practical step healthcare leaders can take in the next 90 days to integrate financial well-being into care.
