Healthcare IT Podcast Healthcare IT News & Events Now In All 50 States and 67 Countries Around the World

On today’s show, we focus on a lot of interesting tech articles that have come out this week, spending a little more time on two of them.  The first is a discussion about telecommuting and how things differ a bit in different environments, the second is a quick discussion about golf and your career (and having a little fun at the same time). As always, I want to hear your comments so please feel free to email me at spencer@itpodcast.org or post them here on the site.

I hope you enjoy this week’s show, the next podcast will be released right around July 5th…perhaps a day or two early since I will probably be camping the mountains over the weekend.By the way opening bumper music on the podcast was my 8 year old son playing his harmonica.

Thank you for listening.

In today’s show, we are going to talk about how to take one of many time management tools and modifying it slightly to use it as a management tool for your team.  Attached to this post is a Microsoft Word document of Covey’s Quadrants, and some notes that we use internally here at SLV Regional Medical Center when we prioritize our various tasks.  I hope that you will find this as helpful in managing your team and their expectations as I do.  If you have any questions about how we use this effectively here at our little hospital in Alamosa, Colorado, please feel free to email me at spencer@itpodcast.org.
