Today we wanted to introduce our Home Furnishing Design Team, which we developed specifically for those people that live in a home and just need furniture. Often we will present the client with about 2 options and they'll ask why we're only presenting two, but we go through a whole process of looking at multiple options, and then narrowing them down until we have 2 that are curated for their unique style. We only work one room at a time as this will ensure everything will be planned and completed correctly and of the highest quality, whereas if we're focusing on more than one space at a time, things can get mixed up or mistakes can be made. Some people worry that their choices will go out of style, but if you love it and it is totally and completely you, even if it doesn't quite go with current trends, it'll never go out of style. Team introductions 1:35What sparked creating the home furnishings design team 3:32What brings clients to call this team 5:57Narrowing down the right options 14:00Timeline 15:35One space at a time 18:55Example of custom pieces 24:33How to go about this process 29:23Helping clients all over virtually 36:01What is your why? 39:55Staying inspired 43:00How to access our services 46:40“This is a team of designers that just work specifically on furnishing your home.

If you want to know about proven and battle-tested business systems that make businesses more efficient, more stress-free, and more profitable, then click on that play button.But first…Here's a sneak peek at what you'll hear:The little-talked-about reason why most video freelancer's business numbers rarely ever increase or decrease more than 10 percent each year. - 2:15The case for making yourself less relevant and less visible in your business. - 3:00When exactly to start thinking about creating systems for your freelance videography business. Is there really a right time and a wrong time? (You bet! Listen up at 3:10)The “S&D” secret to business freedom and profitability. (No, this does not stand for "sales and distribution" or even "search and destroy". - 4:15)The “7-letter word” that is the very backbone of every successful business. - 5:00Den's "smooth sailing" 8-step system for lighting a studio interview - Starts a 6:00Den's "kiss the hair" lighting trick he uses for studio interviews. - 7:20Why "brain dumping" sessions are crucial when creating effective business systems. - 8:30A counterintuitive (but proven) way to become far more creative and innovative than you would be otherwise.

(We ALL do at times, but if this is an ongoing issue, then this might be why... - 10:00)Google's absurdly effective “goal-setting system” that their finance team uses religiously. It's no fluke that Google dragged in a cool 180 billion dollars in 2020 and have achieved a year-on-year increase of 13%. (Well, here's how any video production business can use Google's exact goal-setting method for their business, too! - 10:30)A caveman simple “3-step formula” for creating systems for your business so it runs with greater efficiency, productivity, clarity, consistency, and control. (Einstein was right - everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler. This is especially true of creating business systems. This ridiculously simple 3-step formula is straightforward but it must be done correctly. - 11:10)Den's closely guarded “business systems” cheat sheet he gives to certain members of the filmmaking industry. (This is pretty much a paint-by-numbers way to get your business operating with battle-tested business systems, and... do it quickly, easily, and pain-free. -11:30)The REAL secret to scaling your video business. - 12:00How long does it take to fully systemize an established video business? One week? Months? A year? Hear Den's answer at 16:00Why Den purposely discriminates against those who seek his help. (That's right, there are a certain group of people Den gives preferential treatment to. Full story at 18:25)A stupid obvious thing (that hardly anybody does) Den does to stay razor-sharp and one-step ahead of the competition. - 19:15Mark Zuckerberg's (and other uber-successful people's) clever life hack that simplifies his life, frees up his mental bandwidth, and makes him far more productive. (Best part? Anyone can use this, however, there is a downside... especially for men how to use this lifehack - your lady will grow to hate this lifehack. That's guaranteed. - 20:10)Support the show (https://www.denlennie.com/free-training)

(Not so fast, Tiger. Listen, there is a reason why the most successful video production companies in the world outsource their copywriting, and it ain't because they're too busy.

If you don't know this about your website visitors… you may as well get a chimp to write your website copy. - 13:30Insider copywriting secrets - This is gold! - 14:00The little-known (and little understood) marketing maxim called "The Who". (Nothing to do with the English rock band, however... if you don't understand this marketing truth, your website copy will be about as useless as Pete Townsend's guitar after playing Woodstock. - 15:50Beware of the content writer dressed up in copywriter's clothing. (Hear this important difference between the two, and... how to identify the copywriters from the content writers. - 20:00)Why copywriting (when done properly) is like playing 3D chess. - 21:00When your ego is your amigo.  - 23:50A little-known copywriting secret for getting website visitors eager to hire your video services. (You can do everything else right, but without doing what Jamiee mentions at 25:00, your website copy will almost certainly tank.)How you can get more business by repelling website visitors. - 27:00Why website designers should be forced to consult a copywriter before signing off on their work. - 28:00Why an “average” website designer who understands copywriting is far more valuable than a “world-class” website designer who's clueless about copywriting.

Hi Friends, today is a BONUS episode! Today we wanted to let you all in on our journey into spirituality. We are still fairly new into our walk down the spiritual path, but we wanted to share with you why we felt the pull to starting the walk.As we said, this is a bonus episode, and with this bonus episode we found an etsy shop that sells crystal mystery bags, and crystals are a huge part of our journey so far! Emily speaks about her path starting from a younger age with spirits, and learning the respect that is needed when working with them. At first she felt fear, but now she is opening herself up to accept light spirits with good intentions.Starr’s spiritual journey started with the want to self reflect on past situations that placed hurt and resentment in her heart. As she continues to walk the path of spirituality she is able to let go of the past trails, and have a positive mindset to the future. *Note: We do hear the comments regarding the mics being in our faces. This is a podcast that is recorded for multiple streaming platforms, and we are working to ensure good audio quality for the friends who are listening. We are working to readjust the mic placement.*This week we picked crystals that will help us challenge ourselves to excel in our spiritual journeyEmily chose Phosphoserine which is another healing stone… You know she loves these. Phosphoserine promotes aligning your third eye chakra and is great to use when connecting with spirit and spirit guides. Starr chose Selenite which is always on our crystal display. It has many great properties such as opening your crown chakra to receive messages, and it cleanses your mind of negative thoughts!This week we are challenging you to simply write down what gives you joy, and motivation to get through the day.

Today, Den drops science on something almost every single business owner needs to hear. And that is this: how to keep calm, cool, and collected when all hell breaks loose. Here's a sneak peek at what you'll hear:Two words that release a feel-good chemical in your body.

In this episode, I narrated how the Texas freeze impacted me and my family. In this once in a century event, there were power and water outages that created conditions unfit for wellbeing. Some lost comfort, others property and for 21 people, as at today, their lives as temperatures were subzero in degrees Celsius. It was tragic but somewhere in the thick of this week, I found a lot to be grateful for. In the words of Michael Dooley, “Disaster gave me two things: a moment to react and a decision to overcome”. I share our story of a nine-hour harrowing journey, sleeping in three homes on consecutive nights and living with uncertainty. Ultimately, I learned two things: the next time there is such a forecast, I will overestimate the impact and make adequate arrangements. So many people want to help and several others need help at such times. I shared some guidelines on how to give and get help, while honoring boundaries: yours and others. How to help people going through major events or natural disasters:Make Fewer Calls 14:30Ask and Offer 16:38Tangible Help 19:29Respect People’s Boundaries 21:00How to respond to help in a major event or natural disasters:Use Blanket Messages 19:30Find a Way to let People Know You are Safe 20:29Take Help ASAP 21:06Share your Boundaries 21:41Importantly, when in weather eventualities, find humor in the situation. Lastly, be thankful for the blessings that seem so little like sunlight and rain, like water and power… few realize their importance till they are gone.

Joining us today we have Vikas Bhambri, the SVP of sales and CX at Kustomer, Rob Young, the Director of Customer Support at BambooHR, and Jamie Whited, an expert consultant in client service and client experience. We discuss some of the things and issues each of us has had to deal with during the pandemic. A lot of industries are dealing with an increase in requests and inquiries, and we all have had to adjust and make sure we are continuing to provide that human to human help that people need to continue moving forward. Rob tells how they have been able to focus and become more empathetic with their customers by getting a lot more specific with the questions they ask. We talk about what kind of things to say to the customers who are struggling in these times, and then what we can do to keep the customer service representatives motivated and going in our company visions. Tune in!Guest introductions 1:21Where do we go from here with all these challenges? 7:26How Rob has dealt with increases and decreases in inquiries 11:37How to approach empathetic or non empathetic customers 15:00How have they been able to keep the reps going? 18:52“We always tell the teams, ‘You can only control your reaction. So if somebody is coming at you like that in a very frustrated manner, then you turn around and you just give them the biggest virtual hug and empathy that you can potentially give them, or tell them that you understand where they’re coming from and you are so sorry for their loss, and that we’re going to do everything that we can to make this right for you.’ And that seems to calm people down in pretty much any industry.” 15:29

Transcription:Redonda Miller 0:03We have this playbook of physical capacity staffing policies. I'm thinking about all the thought that went into standing up a visitor policy or a masking policy or a travel policy. Now we can turn those on and off as needed.Gary Bisbee 0:20That was Dr. Redonda Miller. President at Johns Hopkins Hospital, speaking about the core competency of scaling up and scaling down, developed to respond to the COVID crisis. I'm Gary Bisbee. And this is Fireside Chat. Dr. Miller outlines the top three priorities of the Johns Hopkins Hospital and she speaks about the benefits and challenges of the Maryland all-payer model. Let's listen to Dr. Miller respond to the question of how the COVID crisis changed her as a community member.Redonda Miller 0:50As a community member Gary, I think this was probably the most impactful and humbled every day by the incredible appreciation from the community, the number of ways they stepped up. Whether it was school kids making cards for the healthcare workers here. Whether it was the donations of homemade masks, businesses sending food to the front line. I really feel a part of the community here in Baltimore like I've never felt before.Gary Bisbee 1:20Our conversation includes Dr. Miller's view of the need for a reliable PPE supply chain and the necessity of governmental stockpiles, how telemedicine visits grew overnight from 35 to 20,000 per week, the strategy for educating the community to return for necessary surgery and treatments, and the top characteristics of a leader in a crisis. I'm delighted to welcome Dr. Redonda Miller to the microphone. Good morning, Redonda, and welcome.Redonda Miller 1:52Good morning, Gary. It's such a pleasure to be here virtually so to speak.Gary Bisbee 1:56Exactly. We're pleased to have you at the microphone. Let's begin with learning a little bit more about you – start out at the very beginning. Where did you grow up?Redonda Miller 2:06Well, I actually grew up in southern Ohio, very rural area near Kentucky and West Virginia, where my parents still live. And in a desperate attempt to escape, so to speak, I ended up at Ohio State for college, and then here in Baltimore for medical school at Johns Hopkins, and I've been here ever since.Gary Bisbee 2:27What have you found that you liked the most about Hopkins? What's the culture of Hopkins like?Redonda Miller 2:32When I came to interview for medical school, I had this mental notion in my mind of very smart people, serious scholars, discoverers and sure, that is all true. It is. But what I found 31 years ago was this incredible warmth, and humanity and kindness and esprit de corps. And honestly, that is what has kept me here for 31 years. There is a drive toward excellence. Everyone wants to be the best. They want to be on the cutting edge, but at the same time, a sense of collegiality and family that it's really a powerful combination.Gary Bisbee 3:13Let's drop back a bit. At what point did you decide on medicine, Redonda?Redonda Miller 3:17It's an interesting story. I am a lover of math and physics and economics and finance. And I started my college career, wanting to be an engineer, an aeronautical engineer. But I quickly learned that there was a human side to what I wanted to do, probably stemmed from in high school, my parents, who my dad, in particular avid gardener, they were both school teachers. But he was an avid gardener on the side. And one evening, after dinner, they became very ill very quickly and within 15-20 minutes, were both passed out. I called 911. I was a freshman in high school, the oldest of four children. I remember vividly the sight of the paramedics doing CPR on my dad as they wheeled my mom and dad out of the house to the local hospital. And I will tell you, the paramedics, the nurses, the doctors at that local rural hospital saved my parents. And it turns out they had organophosphate poisoning, which was very common, you know, it's from insecticides that have since been banned. My parents are fine today alive and well. But I always remembered how those healthcare workers saved their lives. And it really influenced my choice later on.Gary Bisbee 4:33Sure. The fact that they were teachers, do you think that cultivated your sense of learning and excellence?Redonda Miller 4:39I do. You know, in pure teacher form they had high expectations for the children to pursue something they loved and to give it our all. So yes, and in fact, I started out my career here at Hopkins after I finished training as a clinician-educator, there's some of that love of teaching hidden inside of me.Gary Bisbee 4:58At what point did you decide then to pursue your MBA?Redonda Miller 5:01I was probably mid-career in my 30s had been doing very well. I had a typical traditional faculty role as a clinician-educator focusing on women's health but became frustrated with how we delivered care. This was back 15-20 years ago, and we were not as patient-centered as I thought we could be. We were not as efficient as I thought we could be. At some point, you either just whine or you become part of the solution. And it also provided this opportunity to enjoy some of the other subjects that I'd always liked, like economics and finance and math. So I decided I wanted to retool my career and work on clinical operations. I didn't have the right tools. So it prompted me to go back to business school and pursue an MBA. So I at least had some foundational knowledge of operations and healthcare delivery that would hopefully serve me well.Gary Bisbee 5:59I believe you're still practicing. Is that right?Redonda Miller 6:01I do. I do. I'm a general internist. And I love still practicing. Many of my patients I've known for 20 years. I have a clinic once a week. And that of course is all of the physicians who are listening might know your practice doesn't end just because the clinic door closed, so I field phone calls all week long. But it has been invaluable. To live firsthand some of the initiatives we roll out as a hospital, I have to take the same epic training, I see what it's like to care for a patient who may be PUI for COVID and wear a face mask. I also now have a cadre of secret shoppers. My patients are the first to call me with Redonda, "Did you know this happened during check-in?" or "I was in the hospital and this happened or did you realize this?" And so it's been so valuable in many ways.Gary Bisbee 6:54Unintended benefit of practice. Do you find as a leader at an academic medical center that it gives you more credibility with those you're leading that you're still practicing?Redonda Miller 7:06I think it does, because once again, anything that you say we have to do, I'm going to do it as well. And so I do understand the frustrations of clicking in an electronic medical record. I can empathize more, and hopefully, it informs decision making a little better.Gary Bisbee 7:23In terms of leadership, what drew you to leadership?Redonda Miller 7:28I'm not for sure I was drawn to leadership per se. In fact, I think more what I was drawn to was this notion of fixing things. As a true general internist, I like variety, I like diagnosing, and I like trying to fix things. And so what I liked about hospital administration is those same principles applied. Your day consists of a myriad of different problems that hit your desk, and you pull the right teams together, diagnose the situation, and try to fix it. The leadership part, I think was sort of an accidental outcome of that, that perhaps my mentors hopefully acknowledged somehow that okay, I could execute on what we designed. And then that led to greater responsibility. But I didn't necessarily go into this hospital administration route thinking I wanted to be a leader.Gary Bisbee 8:21Right. Sometimes it's referred to as an accidental leader, but you're doing a terrific job. Why don't we turn to Johns Hopkins Hospital? You've been president now I believe for four years. Will you describe Johns Hopkins Hospital for us?Redonda Miller 8:36Sure. The Johns Hopkins Hospital is a 1,000-bed hospital, roughly, with revenue of around 2.6 billion. We have about 11,000 employees, about 2,500 medical staff, and then 1,300 residents and fellows. We have the usual typical designations level one trauma center, comprehensive transplant, NCI-Designated Cancer Center, but we're part of a larger health system. And our larger health system is comprised of six hospitals – five in the Mid-Atlantic and one in Florida. We have a payer arm, we have a home care group, we have a community physician network. So that's a little bit about the hospital and how we fit into the health system.Gary Bisbee 9:17How do you relate to these other hospitals? Do you draw from them? Or do they draw from you? How do you think about that?Redonda Miller 9:23Oh, it's very commensal. And I would say that's something we've struggled with over the last decade becoming a system. But over the last couple of years, and particularly with the crisis of COVID-19, we have really done wonders to become functioning more like a system. I will tell you, I learned things all the time from my community hospital colleagues, the presidents of our community hospitals. Hopefully, they would say the same thing about the academic medical center, but it's been a great partnership.Gary Bisbee 9:55What are your main priorities at JHH?Redonda Miller 9:56I would be remiss, Gary, if I didn't tell you COVID-19 rose to the top three months ago. And for the next year or two, it will continue to be right at the top. And it's interesting how the focus has changed from “Oh my, how are we going to deal with that initial surge” to now the focus of how do we conduct our usual business and as an academic medical center, there are patients that we really specialize in and have expertise. So how do we care for those patients, in addition to caring for COVID-19? So that's priority number one. I think priority number two, we had started all kinds of good work on high-value care. In the era of patients paying more out of pocket for their health care, they are going to want to choose wisely. And so we have to hold ourselves accountable to being high value. How do we deliver high-quality care, but at a price that is appropriate? So that would be our second priority. And then interestingly, we have really shifted a lot, without losing our emphasis on discovery and innovation. We at the Johns Hopkins Hospital can never lose that. But thinking more about population health and community care, and what it means to serve East Baltimore. Historically, obviously, we focused on transitions out of the hospital, care coordination, disease management, but we've taken that to a different level. And how do we tackle the social determinants of health? We've done work on jobs and hiring. More recently, we partnered with the other city hospitals, health care for the homeless and the city to house 200 individuals experiencing homelessness, and we decided we were going to build and renovate houses, but go beyond that and provide all the supportive care one needs. Job counseling, treatment for chronic diseases, help getting to and from the grocery store. So those are really our priorities high-value care, community care, and of course COVID-19.Gary Bisbee 12:06What percentage of patients come from Baltimore and surrounding communities?Redonda Miller 12:10Right now about two-thirds of our 50,000 discharges derive from Central Maryland, and about one-third from Baltimore city itself. And then of course, the final third, given some of our areas of expertise draw from states far away and internationally.Gary Bisbee 12:28Why don't we go to the Maryland all-payer model for lessons learned there? Could you describe that for us, Redonda?Redonda Miller 12:36Oh, sure. We've had the all-payer model here in Maryland since 1977. And it was initially designed and still is today. It functions as all-payer in the sense that everyone pays the same for care delivered in Maryland hospitals, and by everyone I mean, commercials, Medicare, Medicaid. We love that about the model, it takes away any kind of gamesmanship or trying to attract a certain patient over another, everyone pays the same and the rates that hospitals are allowed to charge are set by a commission. In 2014, there was another unique component to our model that was added, hospitals were now going to be reimbursed via global budget revenue. So each hospital in Maryland knew its revenue for the next fiscal year out of the gate. And then year after year, that revenue would be tweaked, based upon volume shifts, market shifts, demographics, and so forth. So I know going into FY 21, what my revenue will be. That's been our model to date. It's highly regulated, and year to year, you're not going to have huge operating margins as a hospital in Maryland. But I will tell you during bad times, and we've looked at over the last three or four months, that model can be protective. Well, because the volumes dropped so precipitously, none of us could charge up to our full GBR. We did have some increased charging authority that provided the cash flow and liquidity we needed to survive the pandemic.Gary Bisbee 14:13As a result of COVID, one imagines that legislators in Washington DC are going to be thinking about some kind of model like the Maryland all-payer model. So we may end up with something more like it at the national level, who knows. What's the payer mix? If I could ask, what's the current payer mix?Redonda Miller 14:32Here at the hospital, government payers are about 48%, 19% for Medicaid, about 29% for Medicare. And then commercial, we are about 49%. And then self-pay about three.Gary Bisbee 14:46So that would be among a lot of health systems that country pretty favorable payer mix, actually. Why don't we turn to COVID you brought that up, and I think we all agree a crisis accelerates existing trends, but thinking about capacity, PPE and so on, how did that fare at JHH?Redonda Miller 15:06We did okay with PPE, but we have the luxury here in Maryland of learning from Seattle, learning from Italy and learning from New York. So we knew right away that we had to start conserving. We focused meticulous attention on PPE conservation. We also had help from partners. Local industry stepped up to help us. Sagamore Spirit made hand sanitizer. Under Armour made masks. Many volunteers went to our central distribution center, and we crafted our own face masks. So we really and then of course, other businesses donated N95s. So we were okay. But it wasn't without a struggle. And I will tell you we're still not where we need to be as far as PPE, but we're working on it.Gary Bisbee 15:53If you formulated a point of view, Redonda, about the reliability of supply chain, do you think we need to do something nationally about that? What's your thought?Redonda Miller 16:03Oh, of course, absolutely we do. I think we've learned about when you have a sole producer in the market or one country dominating the manufacturer of a good bet is a common good, you run into trouble. I think we saw this in the pharmaceutical industry somewhat. And we talked about the escalation in drug prices a couple of years ago, where market economics resulted in a sole source provider of certain generics that have been around forever and the ramifications. I think we see that with PPE. We need to make sure that we have the right supply chain that is diversified. I also think we need to take a look at our stockpile and rethink exactly what numbers are appropriate. And the conversation about do we do that as a nation or by individual states, we need to fine-tune that conversation and make some decisions.Gary Bisbee 16:54That's definitely being discussed around the circuit. There's no question about that. How did your ICU capacity hold up?Redonda Miller 17:02That was, even to this day, everyone here will tell you that is our major factor. We were incredibly lucky. When the COVID pandemic first hit, we decided as Johns Hopkins Health System that we would transfer the initial code of patients here, particularly those that were critically ill. So we were taking a lot of patients from the National Capital Region, Gumby county where they were very hard hit Howard County and bringing them to the Johns Hopkins Hospital. And we did that predominantly for two reasons one had to do with our physical capacity. We have new patient towers that we were able to flip unit by unit to negative pressure and keep staff and patient safe. We had the luxury of having a lot of ICU. So we had staff expertise who were gifted at critical care, nurses, doctors, anesthesiologist, so ICU capacity we did okay.Gary Bisbee 18:08It seems to lead to a new competency, maybe even a core competency to scale up and scale down quickly. Do you think about it that way?Redonda Miller 18:19What we do every day, we call it our playbook, our pandemic playbook. And honestly, I think it could be used for other global health crises or even any crisis. But so much of our initial time was spent trying to figure out which units could be converted. How are we going to redeploy staff and leverage expertise? We have very highly specialized staff at AMC, so retraining people to go back to their roots in their core competencies. So we have this playbook of physical capacity staffing policies are in the playbook. I'm thinking about all the thought that went into standing up a visitor policy or a masking policy or a travel policy. Now we can turn those on and off as needed. And some of the models of care. Thinking about testing, we know how to do community testing now and how to stand up tents. We know how to compile a Go team that will help go into nursing homes and do testing and risk mitigation at potential hotspots. So yes, I do think this has taught us that five years from now two years from now, who knows when the next issue hits, we will have processes in place that we can roll out much more easily.Gary Bisbee 19:37Terrific. What about tele-visits? Most of the health systems saw dramatic, even exponential increase in tele-visits, how about you?Redonda Miller 19:46I laugh because telemedicine was sort of on our three to five-year goal, of okay, we’re really going to roll this out. And then overnight, I mean, literally Gary, overnight. We went from around 35 tele-visits per week across our health system to 20,000 per week, overnight. So here at the hospital, we're doing 5,000 telemedicine visits a day. It's about two-thirds of our ambulatory visit volume. And I have to say it's going well. Patients like them and you know, I can tell you that firsthand. My own practice. I have patients who will say, "I was reticent to do this, this high tech stuff Redonda. I don't know about this." They love telemedicine visits, they don't have to drive into East Baltimore. They don't have to pay for parking. They can do it from their own home. I think telemedicine is here to stay.Gary Bisbee 20:38Do you think that the older generation will adapt to it?Redonda Miller 20:52That was the first thing that went through my mind is how is the older generation going to handle this? They are fine. I have patients that are in their 90s. They're doing just fine with it. I think the big challenge will be wrestling with the reimbursement. Here at hospital-based clinics, if we just reimburse only the profit part, I don't think that's going to do justice to all the infrastructure needed to conduct an efficient telemedicine visit. You still need staff to virtually room the patient and make sure that the med reconciliation has been done and all that pre-visit work, you're still going to need staff to do the follow-up and schedule appointments and tests. So I think we have to give some serious consideration about the appropriate reimbursement model.Gary Bisbee 21:38The CMS waivers on payment and physician licensure across states, no doubt were important. Do you have a feel for how important they were to accelerate the visits?Redonda Miller 21:49Very important. We still struggle because there's not complete reciprocity and licensing. So we still struggle with sometimes delivering out of state care, but hopefully, we'll get there.Gary Bisbee 22:00How did you ramp up to 20,000 visits? I mean, did you employ just a whole bunch of your doctors and nurses, or how did that work?Redonda Miller 22:08We have an amazing telemedicine team and an amazing ambulatory team. You asked me, What do I like about Hopkins? Well, people just they rally and they get it done. So everyone did their virtual online training so that they would understand how to use it. We redeployed our staff, so they can handle the volume. I don't think there was any magic bullet. I think it was just a culmination of group effort.Gary Bisbee 22:35Terrific. Well, why don't we turn to elective surgery assuming that you had to lock down and discontinue that for awhile. Have you restarted?Redonda Miller 22:43Yes, we did restart our elective surgeries. On May 18, we opened up for our ASC. And then this past Monday, we started hospital-based elective surgery. The biggest limiting factor for us is just getting our ICUs back online. We still have a decent amount of COVID-19 patients here that are critically ill. So bed capacity is our biggest limiter.Gary Bisbee 23:09How have patients responded?Redonda Miller 23:12Initially, we were worried that people would be hesitant to come back to the hospital and I think there's still some fear. But every time we've opened our schedule, we've been able to fill it. The pent up demand is so great that we've not had difficulty filling our OR schedules. Now some of this could also be due to an aggressive campaign we've launched encouraging patients to return to hospitals who've been very worried about some of the statistics in the literature about people putting off care and having heart attacks at home. And we saw it here at the Johns Hopkins Hospital. Our ED visits fell to a third of normal. We knew that patients were out there and bad things could be happening. So we did launch an aggressive campaign both here at our own institution via messaging through MyChart and Epic and text messages and articles and videos and graphics. But we also partnered with the Maryland Hospital Association, who launched a broad sweeping campaign in Maryland, billboards, TV, radio, encouraging people to really seek necessary care.Gary Bisbee 24:19Why don’t we turn to economics, which is not a pretty picture for any of our health systems. How was JHH affected by the whole COVID crisis in terms of your financials?Redonda Miller 24:30As I mentioned a bit earlier, our GBR here under the Maryland payment system did protect us to some degree, I mean, we will experience losses, and I think that's to be expected. Anytime you lose that kind of volume, you're going to suffer, but we've managed okay to be honest. Capital, we had to reduce our capital expenditure and delay some of it so we took a really close look at what our plans were for capital expenditure. And what did we absolutely have to do in the name of patient safety and quality? And then put other things on hold. We're hoping to revisit that. And of course, a lot of our strategic capital plans we had to put on hold some of our larger projects. Hopefully, the numbers will continue to go down. I'm going to be an optimist. Gary, I am. I think we will have a surge in the fall. But hopefully, we can contain it and manage it and we can get back on track for some of our strategic priorities.Gary Bisbee 25:28With your optimistic hat on what are you thinking about 2021 Redonda? Will you be able to get back to "normal" by then, do you think, financially?Redonda Miller 25:37Our goal here is to really be able to resume all the essential care we did. I think about care here at the hospital, transplants, high-end surgeries, all of that work that really we rely on our AMCs to do as we don't often have that kind of expertise and community hospitals. I view we owe it to the local Maryland community toet back in that business right away. And so our goal is to really figure out how we're going to ramp up all of our usual book of business, and then still take care of COVID on top of that. That's going to be meaning adding or renovating physical capacity that's going to be looking at staffing plans. And can we bring on staff to do that to get us through the next year? Just like all of my colleagues across the country, we're looking at, you know, people who've retired do they want to come back for a year. We have some fellows who are graduating, who are worried about the job market, and they want to spend time next year being COVID hospitalists and really take a year-long break. And so we think that's going to help us on the provider front. But our goal is to try to get back to do all of our usual work and take exquisite care of COVID-19 patients.Gary Bisbee 26:49Leadership's always important, particularly magnified, probably in a crisis. When you first became aware that the COVID crisis was gonna strike, what was your first thought?Redonda Miller 27:00I think that was probably like most people. Your first thought out of the gate is, oh my, we have never faced anything like this before. This is going to be a long three months. But I have to say it was quickly followed by a little notion of, we've got this. We had already practiced. We're one of the regional centers for biocontainment. And we stepped up after Ebola to become a center of expertise. So we've already been training on a continual basis. Staff, nurses, doctors, pharmacists, respiratory therapists, you name it, who knew what it was like to step into a pandemic, and they were able to train others pretty quickly. So I figured, we'll be okay. We will manage this. And luckily, that has been the case.Gary Bisbee 27:46What is one of the most important characteristics of a leader during a crisis like this, do you think?Redonda Miller 27:51I think some of the most important characteristics are, number one, being able to pull groups of experts together and then just trusting those experts to manage. This notion that we're all in this together and having the right people around the table because no one has complete mastery of a pandemic like this. No one does. So it really was this getting the team together and building our plans in unison. And then I think, honestly, for leaders, you have to be the person who is positive. And explaining that, yes, we can do this. Yes, we're going to make decisions that we will have to rethink and maybe pivot in a different direction. And that's okay. But we will get through this. So the leader has to have some element of positivity.Gary Bisbee 28:42This has been a terrific interview, Redonda, I have one last question if I could, and that is how does the COVID experience change you as a leader and as a family member?Redonda Miller 28:54As a leader, I'm not sure it's so much has changed me as reminded me of all that is great in health care. As a physician, I trained in crisis mode. A patient would code on the unit and you stepped into action quickly and you were the leader of a team who did the CPR and the resuscitation. And so that muscle memory came back. And what I like about it as a place like Hopkins, it reminded me how every single person on the team stepped up in just that fashion. There was no wailing and whining, and it was all about, we can do this. So I think it was very refreshing to be reminded of how incredible my colleagues are. As a family member, boy, it changed me a lot. I have two daughters. They are ages 15 and 11. My husband is a pulmonary physician, who helps take care of COVID-19 patients at a different hospital here in Baltimore. So my poor little daughters became orphans overnight. They got themselves up, made breakfast, did their online school work. So I told them it was good practice for college and being on their own. But it did change me. And I realized that my daughters are growing up and they can be self-sufficient. And then as a community member, Gary, I think this was probably the most impactful, humbled every day, by the incredible appreciation from the community, the number of ways they stepped up, whether it was school kids making cards for the healthcare workers here, whether it was the donations of homemade mass businesses sending food to the front line. I really feel a part of the community here in Baltimore like I've never felt before, and I think all of them for their kind gestures and donations to support our healthcare frontline.Gary Bisbee 30:52Well, we appreciate your thoughts, Redonda. This has been a terrific interview. Thank you very much for being with us, and good luck to you and everybody else at Johns Hopkins.Redonda Miller 31:01Thank you, it was a real pleasure.Gary Bisbee 31:04This episode of Fireside Chat is produced by Strafire.
