Healthcare IT Podcast Healthcare IT News and Events Now In All 50 States and 59 Countries Around the World

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.

I hope that you will try to use this tool in your department.  I would like to know if it is helpful, or if any of you out there are using this tool (or anything similar) in a slightly different way or in some unique fashion. 

The opening and closing music on the podcast this week is Crazy by the group Kapena.

Our next show will be on June 21, 2008.  Thank you for listening.

On this week’s show, we talk about the CMS “Never Events” and talk with San Luis Valley Regional Medical Center Director of Quality and Patient Safety, Coryee Hamons about how these never events are going to affect hospitals and the challenges we face.  I have not forgotten about the multi-part series to talk about the various integrated hospital information systems that are out there, but so far, I have only had McKesson’s Paragon group and Meditech respond.  If I don’t get more vendors interested in participating, I plan on going forward with interviews with McKesson’s Mike Youmans as well as some executives from Meditech. 

I need you to get the information out to your vendors and have them contact me at spencer@itpodcast.org so we can set up a time to talk with them.

I just recorded the first podcast for ITPodcast.org.  I am not 100% happy with it, a little nervous doing the first one, but I promise I will have a new pop filter installed by the next episode, and I will fix my problem with the “ahhs”.  Thank you for listening, and please post your comments and topic ideas for the next show.
