My recent two-week vacation included family time, Disney with grandkids, and time just chilling with girlfriends (aka pool time, my first ever pickle ball game, walks by the ocean, shopping, eating, talking and
lots of laughing). I often publish a blog each week even when I’m on vacation but not this time. It was a true break!
Now that I’m back it’s a different kind of week. I am taking care of one of my grandchildren so arranging my work schedule around her school drop-off and pickup times. Something many of you navigate seamlessly or not so seamlessly every day. I’m hoping to get it right!
I am also getting into the recording mode this week.
On May 5 at 1PM Eastern, I will be a panelist on the Well Health sponsored webinar – “Digital Transformation Post-COVID: What’s Next on the CIO Priority List?”. Meg Aranow from Well Health will be moderating the panel that also includes Joel Vengco, SVP and Chief Information & Digital Officer at Hartford HealthCare and Raymond Lowe, SVP & CIO at AltaMed Health Services. It should be a great session. You can register here.
And I’ve recorded my first show as one of the moderators on the new This Week in Health Town Hall / Community channel. I interviewed Pamela Arora, new President and CEO at AAMI and a longtime CIO colleague of mine. For all the IT leaders who listen to This Week in Health podcasts, be sure to check it out – the IT and HTM (health technology management) relationship is a critical one. My second interview is scheduled in a few weeks with Dr. John Brownstein, Chief Innovation Officer at Boston Children’s Hospital and Professor, Harvard Medical School. He is an infectious disease epidemiologist and ABC medical contributor. I was fortunate to work with John when I served as interim CIO at Boston Children’s Hospital last year. Both of these interviews will be available sometime in the next few weeks.
I’m lining up more great interviews for the coming months as I keep my commitment to Bill Russell and the This Week in Health team to do them monthly. There are a lot of excellent interviews on the channel already as the other moderators got a head start on me – you can check them out here.
There is so much great content available to help you stay current and informed through This Week in Health and many other sources. I took a break from my podcast listening routines while on vacation so it’s time for me to catch up as well. Unlike the old days when industry publications would pile up on my desk to read, I now have a backlog of podcasts to listen to. At least I can dual task while I do…. after all, my two little dogs need their long daily walks.
