Thank you to all who joined our Tuesday morning IS Open Forum. We had another impressive turn-out and some great questions, with over 1,800 joining us online, including some of our Hyderabad-based caregivers, who joined during their evening hours. Appreciate your commitment to staying engaged.
As I shared, our Board of Directors and executive sponsors have been very appreciative of the support IS has provided the system through the COVID crisis, including our support of remote work, cybersecurity, Teams collaboration, and partnering with Telehealth. Much of this work that we accelerated in this time of urgency gives us durable muscle, with modernizations and optimizations that will serve both IS and our caregivers well into the future.
The next few months are going to be critical, as we pivot to recovery as a health system, while navigating macro-economic and revenue challenges.
Whether it’s our work to modernize our Service Desk, nearing completion of our Modern Workplace roll-out, or moving forward with our June Epic upgrade in a COVID-smart way, we can feel very proud of the work we’re doing. We are showing great progress against our IS priorities and strategy, despite the difficult times.
Finally, a warm welcome to our new HRIS caregivers joining Enterprise Business Applications and Administrative Technology teams. I also encourage you to check out the follow-up article to Doug Lewis’s Open Forum update about the important 2020 Caregiver Engagement efforts I’ve asked him to lead with this year’s committee.
Great work, everyone, and continue to be smart about protecting your health and the health of your families!
