June 12, 2025: Jennifer Stemmler, Chief Digital and Information Officer at Adventist Health, opens up about orchestrating one of healthcare's largest EHR migrations—transitioning 28 hospitals and 400 clinics from a decades-old Cerner system to Epic. Guided by the mantra "on time, on budget, on Epic, on us," how does she maintain control without micromanaging every decision? When groups push back on standardization or value-based care teams clash with implementation timelines, what framework actually works to resolve conflicts? Jennifer reveals her benefits realization scorecard approach and discusses the real challenge behind any major transformation: how do you ensure the organization owns the change rather than waiting for someone else to save them?

Welcome to the Sustainable Clinical Medicine Podcast! This time, Dr. Sarah Smith sits down with Quenby Rubin-Sprague, a seasoned professional in the healthcare industry with over 35 years of experience. Starting as a registered dietitian nutritionist, Quenby's journey led her to medical sales and eventually into corporate training and development, where she found her passion for coaching and making impactful changes within healthcare teams. In this episode, Quenby delves into her career evolution, highlighting the importance of happiness and fulfillment both at work and beyond. She shares insights into how she cultivated resilience and mental fitness in challenging clinical environments, especially amidst high-stress situations. They discuss how healthcare professionals can enhance their communication skills, create a shared reality, and build trust within teams, even when organizational changes are slow to come. Whether you're a healthcare provider, a practice manager, or part of a clinical team, this episode offers valuable perspectives on sustaining happiness and effectiveness in the face of inevitable challenges. Here are 3 key takeaways from this episode: Empower with Empathy: Understanding our colleagues' and patients' perspectives can create a shared reality based on trust and respect. This not only enhances patient experience but also contributes to a more cohesive team environment. Practice Self-Empathy: As much as we focus on empathy for others, it's crucial to nurture self-empathy. Recognizing that we can't control everything and focusing on self-care can help maintain our own well-being amidst the chaos. Cultivate Mental Fitness: Building resilience through mental fitness allows us to handle the pressures of healthcare more effectively. This involves acknowledging both the positive and negative aspects of our day and choosing to focus on growth and joy.

For our NextGen Journeys series, host Hillary Acer sat down with Dr. Brian Le at a major moment of transition as he was just finishing up his residency in family medicine at Adventist Health in Glendale, California. As he embarks on his next chapter, Dr. Le reflects on the highlights of his medical education journey and takes stock of the key lessons he will bring forward with him. “I think the biggest thing that I've learned so far is you really don't know what you don't know, which goes to one of the reasons why I wanted to pursue medicine... there's always an endless pursuit of knowledge and of improving yourself,” he shares. There's also an endless amount of knowledge coming at today's clinicians which, he says, requires a good dose of humility. “Those who don't remain humble, in my opinion, can't really thrive in this environment just because there's always something new to learn.” Dr. Le's learning journey included earning a DO from A.T. Still University School of Osteopathic Medicine in Mesa, Arizona -- one of Osmosis' key learning partners -- a master's degree in medical health sciences from Touro University in California, and serving as an Osmosis Medical Education Fellow and curriculum consultant.  Considering that wealth of education and experience, it's no wonder you're in for a wisdom drop on learning, medicine, and the future of healthcare from one of the newest members of the next generation of caregivers.Mentioned in this episode: A.T.

“I'm an artist on the plate. I'm an advocate on the plate. I get to paint the plate with all these beautiful colors of the food I choose to cook.” —Nina Curtis   Advocating for the plate is a multi-faceted concept at the intersection of aesthetics, quality, and social responsibility. It is an essential part of promoting our health and shaping the well-being of our earthly home and everything in it.    But this movement is not as complicated as it may seem. In fact, the epitome of good health often lies in the simplicity of the food we choose to serve on our plates.
