What if we told you that the most important company in US healthcare was run from a farm in rural Wisconsin? And that farm contained the world's largest subterranean auditorium, as well as Disneyland—style replicas of Hogwarts and the Emerald City? What if we told you that the person who started, runs and owns this establishment has legally ensured that it will never be sold, never go public and never acquire another company? And that this person, Judy Faulkner, is also likely the wealthiest and most successful self-made woman in history?Welcome to the story of Epic Systems, the software company that underpins the majority of the American healthcare system today. Epic isn't “just” an electronic medical record (the category it's usually lumped into), or an online patient portal (which is how most of the US population interacts with it via its MyChart application). It's more akin to a central nervous system for hospitals and health clinics. Almost everything in a hospital — from patient interactions to billing, staffing, scheduling, prescriptions and even research — happens on Epic's platform, and over 90% of American medical schools' graduating doctors, nurses and health administrative staff are trained on it during their educations. Tune in as we dive into the almost-unbelievable story of how this epic company came to be!Sponsors:Many thanks to our fantastic Spring ‘25 Season partners:J.P.

You know why I'm interested in the Particle v Epic EHR (electronic health record) systems lawsuit? It's because … data. Say I'm thinking about this like, say, a plan sponsor and I want data so I can do better population health or do care navigation to help my members avoid downstream bad things or steer and tier to high-quality docs and point solutions and, and, and … For a full transcript of this episode, click here. If you enjoy this podcast, be sure to subscribe to the free weekly newsletter to be a member of the Relentless Tribe. To do anything that has anything to do with population health, I need data. And when I say data, we often think claims data as plan sponsors; and we think about getting it from carriers. But where does the claims data originate? Oh, right … the gleam in the eye of a lot of claims data is EHR data. Someone typed something into an EHR system that metamorphosized, ultimately, into a claim that wound up in a carrier's dataset. Plan sponsors want the claims part of the claims data, obviously, to see prices; but they also want those underlying data elements that indicate the health of their members. Said another way, they want the insights gleaned from some clinician somewhere who typed something into an EHR system that turned into codes that drove claims. So, yeah … Particle v Epic. Particle was getting EHR data and passing it on to other parties, and we get into the what's and the who's and the commentary. But bottom line, what I wanted to get into today is this: Will this lawsuit result in more access to data for downstream entities who need it, or less? What are the implications here of Epic shutting down access to its EHR data to Particle and Particle filing an antitrust lawsuit saying Epic did this because Epic wanted to use their monopoly power here to advantage their own payer platform business? Oh, the plot thickens. Payer platform business? For an EHR system. What is that exactly? More intrigue. What's going on there? Because, yeah, probably a lot of plan sponsors and patients are, I'm gonna say, unaware of this part of the equation as to what data the carriers seem to have and where are they getting it from and what things they may be doing with it that plan sponsors and/or members who are their customers may or may not be aware of. Knowledge is power here, especially in the fight over trying to get data out of carriers who won't hand it over when the carriers themselves are getting that data through interoperability networks that potentially plan sponsors also qualify for. Chucking that in there as a point to ponder. This whole “I'm intrigued” bit here, though, was not rhetorical. I really am/was intrigued—so intrigued, as a matter of fact, that I called Brendan Keeler to come on the pod and talk this out with me. Brendan, by the way, has written a very detailed account of the Epic/Particle dustup. There is a part one and a part two. Before we kick in here, though, I did just want to make at least one point on background. First, so many, many people want to get their mitts on EHR data for good reasons and maybe not-so-good reasons from the standpoint of the patients whose personal health information is being fought over here. The basic rule is that to get EHR data, you have to be involved in the treatment of the patient. So, this is the current governance as it stands. You have to be involved in the treatment of the patient if you want EHR data. So involved in the treatment, actually, that you have to have your own treatment data to share back. This is called reciprocity, right? Like, how can you say that you're treating a patient if then you don't have any data as to that treatment? On-site clinics, by the way, are providing treatment—just saying, in case anybody is thinking the same thing I'm thinking right now. Okay, back to the lawsuit. The real kicker of this whole Particle v Epic and Epic cutting off Particle thing, as far as I'm concerned, is over the secondary use of said treatment data once someone gets it (ie, someone gets EHR data transmitted to them because they are doing something or other to treat the patient, but now they have that data). And at that point, is it a free-for-all what they do with it? Can they, I don't know, sell it to anyone they want? Said another way, what if I realize I need EHR data for, I don't know, I'm a lawyer trying to do lawyer things or I'm public health entity or whatever. It doesn't matter. If I throw a medical professional in a room and cook up something this person is doing, that could be considered treatment if you squint at it. Tricky, right? Now I can get EHR data. So, yeah … there's that motto “If you ain't cheatin', you ain't tryin',” which Pryce Ancona said, ironically, on Health Tech Nerds the other day; and I cracked up. But it's so not funny. Because you have some people—maybe or maybe not—kind of violating, let's just say, the spirit of the endeavor. And then you have others who really, really need the data to do something really, really good who can't get it. Is this because of a monopoly entity doing monopoly antitrust stuff? We discuss, but massive spoiler alert, where this conversation is going is, okay, so does this lawsuit ultimately make it easier or harder to get data for righteous good reasons? And Brendan Keeler suggests this case, this lawsuit, actually could be a good thing because what it will do at a minimum is pave the path to get data and really delineate a good use case from some of this profit motivated back-and-forth where patient information is getting fought over and the patient has little to no control over what goes on and neither do plan sponsors. He uses the term increased data liquidity, which is a term I think I will heretofore adopt because it will make me sound smart. Data liquidity. Lastly, lastly, lastly here, just as context in case anyone indulges in further reading and winds up confused, there are so-called interoperability frameworks out there, such as Carequality or CommonWell or eHealth Exchange. These interoperability frameworks are also in this mix. We do not have all day, and thus we don't get into these in the conversation that follows. But just be aware, they're on and about the scene. For the full skinny on what interoperability frameworks are and do, listen to episode 376 with Lisa Bari, MBA, MPH. Brendan Keeler, my guest today, as a matter of fact, is on the steering committee of the Carequality interoperability framework. Brendan Keeler has had a long history in this whole exact space, so he was the perfect guest to dig in on this topic in a really well-balanced way, I'm gonna say. Brendan is currently the interoperability and data liquidity practice lead at HTD Health.

In Episode 447, Stacey Richter interviews Ashleigh Gunter, president of Translucent Healthcare Consulting, to discuss the indispensable role of change management in healthcare transformation. They emphasize that creating an effective change strategy involves great leadership, a clear case for change, influential change champions, over-communication, and continuous measurement and celebration of successes. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding and aligning with the 'why' that drives healthcare professionals and the necessity of a multi-faceted approach beyond just implementing technological solutions like EHR systems.

I saw a bar chart by Phil Ballentine the other day in Nikhil Krishnan's Out-Of-Pocket newsletter that showed, in the USA, in 2024, there are 18,982 live instances of Epic. Each one of those 18,982 live instances are all different: different workflows, separate data, different ways to do the same thing. So, even if having an “Epic strategy” actually was a complete master plan to change behavior in clinic, healthcare has no “nationwide, everywhere it's all the same, so figure out your thing once and you're good to go” thing going on. There are 18,982 differences of opinion out there, but here's the actual and big kahuna real reason why I'm leery. An Epic strategy is not equivalent to a change management strategy. That's the real point that I want to make. It's necessary, very necessary even, but not sufficient. You want to make the way as easy as possible once the “why” goes down and the case for change is made, but even if it's one click and not your usual 14 to 60 clicks, there's no “why” there. There's no automatic case for change that slithers out of anybody's API like a spontaneous miracle. I said this last week, too. Lots of things are really pretty easy. Lots of things are in Epic. Yet no one uses them. I mean, let's talk about actually reading most of the best-practice alerts that pop up. How about consistent use of SmartSets in the majority of those 18,982 instances? Anyway, I couldn't be more pleased to have learned a thing or two from Ashleigh Gunter about change management and how to do this whole thing right. This conversation happened actually a while ago. It's re-edited for 2024—call it a supercut—specifically considering change management at hospitals or physician organizations. Ashleigh Gunther is president of Translucent Healthcare Consulting. She is also an expert in change management and how to align employees and staff so that an organization can move forward together. One quick spoiler before we proceed: According to Ashleigh, there's five steps to effective change management that will ensure success: 1. Having great leadership 2. Creating a case for change. This includes the whole “why” thing. 3. Finding champions—engaging people who have to change so that they can contribute and be supportive 4. Overcommunicating 5. Measuring how things are going and also celebrating small triumphs If you continue to be interested in this topic, do go back and listen to the show with Karen Root (EP381) on shepherding innovation through a large company.

6 septembre 2023La Banque du Canada doit effectuer aujourd'hui une mise à jour de son taux directeur. Les économistes s'attendent à ce qu'elle conserve son taux à 5%.Les premiers ministres de l'Ontario et de la Colombie-Britannique ont demandé à la Banque, qui rappelons-le, est indépendante, de ne pas hausser le taux d'intérêt.Le chef du Parti québécois Paul St-Pierre Plamondon leur a emboîté le pas, en demandant à François Legault de s'opposer, au nom du Québe, à une nouvelle hausse des taux d'intérêt. Mais le premier ministre du Québec a dit qu'il ne pensait pas que ce soit une bonne idée de «commencer à intervenir» dans les décisions de la Banque du Canada.Est-ce que Québec a fait le bon choix pour son Dossier de santé numérique?Le gouvernement Legault a retenu une société américaine, Epic Systems, pour numériser les données médicales du réseau de la santé. Selon Québec, ce projet devrait faire gagner du temps aux travailleurs de la santé et réduire la paperasse et le fardeau administratif.Or, selon Radio-Canada, Epic Systems a eu des ratés, qui ont été documentés dans plusieurs pays. Ainsi, au Royaume-Uni, les services mis en place par la société sont tombés en panne et ont causé d'importantes baisses de productivité dans un réseau d'établissements de santé – qui a finalement dû être mis sous tutelle.Le gouvernement fédéral versera plus de 2 millions $ à l'organisme Corridor appalachien pour protéger des espèces en péril dans l'aire naturelle des Montagnes Vertes du Nord, en Estrie et en Montérégie. rque.

It's the Friday News Roundup and this week Molly Stentz and Dylan Brogan dig into problems behind the scenes at Madison schools after complaints come to light. Also, how Epic Systems' worker contracts affect our larger tech economy - and what the feds might do about it. And did you know we have our very own Australian Football League team right here in Madison? The Wisconsin Wombats are here and they're playing in Reindahl Park this weekend. And unlike the Brewers, the Packers, and Forward Madison FC, they're not looking for stadium upgrades. Just don't ask us how to play this soccer-hockey-rugby-frisbee mashup.  Also on the show:

Research from LinkedIn Learning found that the #1 way organizations are working to improve retention is by “providing learning opportunities.” So how can sales enablement create learning opportunities that will lead to more capable, engaged, and productive employees? Shawnna Sumaoang: Hi and welcome to the Win Win Podcast. I'm your host, Shawnna Sumaoang. Join us as we dive into changing trends in the workplace and how to navigate them successfully. Here to discuss this topic are Adam Payne, a sales training & enablement manager, and Elizabeth Ojo, a product marketing manager at Redox. Thanks for joining, Adam and Elizabeth! I'd love for you to tell us about yourselves, your backgrounds, and your roles. Elizabeth Ojo: Thank you so much for having us. My name’s Elizabeth and I am a pharmacist by training actually. I’ve been in the health tech industry for a number of years, and something that I’m really passionate about is bringing more clinicians into this space and working on the software side to improve what the clinical experience is like for clinicians as they’re trying to take care of their patients. For three years I worked as an implementation manager at Epic Systems in Madison, Wisconsin. Since leaving that role, I’ve been expanding my responsibilities in terms of working more in the product space and digging deeper into how and why the software is created, and moving away from more of the implementation. In my role here at Redox, I’m the product marketing manager for our core product, as well as our clinical network product. What I’m responsible for is making sure that when our really smart developers here at Redox create new products or create new features and want everyone to be really excited about it, what I’m really good at is telling that story of the product. Our developers are really good at coding and developing and figuring out the what and what it is, and getting all that out the door, but what I’m really good at is breaking down those technical concepts and making it really easy to understand and digest for both my colleagues within the sales department, customer success implementation, but also for the average consumer, the average end user who’s looking to Redox for new features and products. Not everyone’s a technical persona and they don't necessarily understand that, so what I really enjoy is breaking down those really highly technical concepts and making it super digestible and super easy for people to understand what it is and why they should care. SS: Wonderful. Thank you, Elizabeth. Now Adam, how about you tell us a little bit about yourself, your background, your role, and a little bit about your viewpoint on your expertise? Adam Payne: Well, first off, I claim no expertise. I’m still very much learning, but I will do my best to share anything that might be helpful. I’ve been at Redox for about a year and a half now, and I came here from Gartner most recently in the research space. I spent about 12 years primarily in sales and sales management at the combination of Gartner and CEB, which Gartner had acquired. I went from competing directly against Gartner, selling a different IT research product to working for Gartner. That was always a fun experience. I spent a little bit of time in a new hire onboarding training facilitation role before moving into this job at Redox. I am still very much growing into this role. This is actually the first time, especially being a team of one in sales enablement at Redox, that I’ve been responsible not only for facilitating training but also for designing it and measuring it, and building the whole stack. SS: Wonderful. Well, I’m excited to have you both here. I’d love to hear from each of you, given your different backgrounds, what does good training look like to you? Adam, maybe I’ll pass this one back to you. AP: Absolutely. One thing I’ll mention is good training is really only as good as the reinforcement that it gets. That’s actually one thing we are specifically working on getting better at Redox. I wouldn’t say that historically we have mastered that by any means, but we tend to, as I’m sure many startups could relate, very lean teams, with a lot of different things going on so we tend to move on to the next thing as soon as we’ve delivered the last thing before we get a chance to fully embed that previous concept. It’s something we are working on slowing down a little bit, but that’s probably the biggest thing for me is how much of it gets reinforced. I know there are plenty of data points out there that something like 90% of training gets lost within 30 days or something like that if it’s not really embedded and reinforced. SS: Elizabeth, how about you? EO: That’s a great question. As a clinician, I’ve received a lot of training on software and I’ve also been able to give a lot of training on software at this point in my career. What I notice when training is good is when the teacher or the trainer is assuming the audience is coming in with little to zero background on the topic. What I cannot stand or what I find frustrating at times is when you’re expected to absorb concepts or take on new understanding, but the person who’s doing the teaching is making assumptions about where your base knowledge is or where your assumptions are. Of course, enforcement is super important, but if the training itself isn’t accessible or isn’t in understandable terms in the first place, it doesn’t really matter how often you repeat it. It’s more important to get to like that base level and come to the level of the learner to make sure that they have the adequate context and base knowledge necessary to learn whatever new concepts you’re teaching. What I like to do is assume when I’m building training that this audience member or this learner is someone who’s basically a new hire with little to zero experience in the industry, making sure that we’re, we’re not using highly technical terms and then when we are explaining those terms. Once we’re able to speak at the level of the learner, you know, get to their level, that’s when we can start measuring the adoption and doing the reinforcement and seeing whatever the subsequent performance, like what’s changed after the training has been adopted. I think that’s just so important. I think people don’t necessarily consider it. They assume people are coming in with the same base knowledge that they have, and that is not true the vast majority of the time. SS: Absolutely. Well, thank you both for sharing what you’ve envisioned as good training. I love that. Prior to Highspot, what did your training programs look like and what does training look like now with Highspot? Adam, I’d love to hear your perspective on this one. AP: Prior to Highspot, especially for new hire onboarding, our reps were given a spreadsheet with a pretty comprehensive list of tasks, a lot of videos to watch people hunt down in the organization and talk to, and lots of things along those lines, and it did actually get the job done surprisingly well, at least for the size organization that we were at the time. From late 2021 through most of last year, we took our sales team essentially tripled its size. We went from about eight to 10 reps to about 25 or so. We had to pretty quickly revamp a lot of the onboarding materials and so on that topic specifically, so we kept a lot of the content from the spreadsheet that was still very relevant but built it into Highspot as a four-week onboarding program that was a hybrid approach of e-learning lessons and live sessions that we would schedule on their behalf to happen via Zoom. We’re a fully remote company, so we’re not necessarily getting in-person for these events, but that approach has worked really well so far. The other piece, thinking beyond new hire onboarding is for a while we were running weekly or biweekly sales training sessions where either I would lead it or I would bring in another subject matter expert on whatever the topic of the day was. It wasn’t necessarily following a cohesive narrative to have a theme ongoing. It was basically just kind of a whack-a-mole approach of whatever the topic that people were yelling about lately and needed some training on was what we would train around. Instead of that, and especially with the product pivot that we’ve worked on that Elizabeth will touch a little bit more on, we’ve shifted instead to several short e-learning lessons throughout the week, Monday through Thursday, and then have a live session on Friday for Q&A office hours to reinforce some of what they went through in the e-learning. That’s been working surprisingly well for us. SS: Fantastic. Now to that point that you made, Elizabeth, can you share advice on how product marketing and enablement can partner together to develop really effective training? EO: The PMM team working with Adam has found really great success by bringing to the table where our expertise lies and focusing on frequent – very frequent, including last-minute – communications and updates that are necessary. The way we look at it is that product marketing brings product expertise. We have spent lots of time developing these, updated new materials, these products, and we know what we want to emphasize, and Adam, coming from the sales enablement side, knows the audience extremely well. He is the sales expert, knows their process, knows what their priorities are, but also knows where his team’s gaps are. He knows the front end and we were on the back end with the product. In addition, we were very, very lucky to have Adam as a partner because he knew the platform very well. He was very comfortable with Highspot. I think in some ways, he is really like a Highspot ninja, you know, being able to take this bulk data that we were coming in from the product marketing perspective and understand the most digestible way that we can present this information so that it’s not giant blocks of text that we’re asking people to consume. We really leaned into where our knowledge areas were and what we had a process where product marketing would have a deadline or a timeline for getting the data in its raw format and also into like a slide deck presentation so that Adam could then take that information and put it into the appropriate format of Highspot. This was a process where we would have workshop meetings multiple times a week, where we would just spend that time on the meeting saying, Hey, does this format look great? Hey, I needed clarification on this content, how can we create better quiz questions and things like that? So lots of check-ins throughout the week and really leaning into where our expertise was in product marketing, being the product and with sales enablement being the audience, as well as what the audience's capacity was for certain pieces of data. I think that’s really what led us to a lot of success in this project. SS: I love that. You recently rolled out a five-week product and pricing training. I’d love it if you could share what your process was for building and deploying this training and maybe even some of the results that you’re seeing. Elizabeth, can I pass this one back to you to start us off? EO: Yeah, absolutely. I look back on this five-week training and I’m so proud of the work that we’ve been able to do to execute it. I’m only laughing because I remember our vision back in January and February, initially, we thought the whole scope of rolling out the new products, the new packaging, the new pricing, those three topics could be contained with three one-hour sessions over the course of one week, and that couldn’t be further from the truth. We realized very quickly that there is actually a bunch of information in here, and the tolerance for our audiences, it’s just not going to work to jam-pack all of this information into three really intense sessions over the course of one week. By the way, we were quickly seeing that the content would be more than just three hours worth of content. We had a suggestion that instead of trying to jam-pack everything in one week, what if instead we did chunks every day for a couple of weeks and each week would have a specific theme? What we would only be asking our audience to do is to digest no more than about 15 minutes of content each day, Monday through Thursday, and then as Adam said, we would have office hours on Friday where we would have interactive content based on the week’s information. That completely transformed the way we looked at things. Not only did it give us room and space to focus on week one and the week two content, since that would be first, but it also put a lot of autonomy on the learners, because on Mondays we would roll out about an hour or an hour and a half worth of content with recommended dates that they should digest the content, but it would be up to them to figure out a time during the week to review it before office hours and the in interactive contents on Friday. I think that was key because it’s pretty intimidating to try to say, I have to find an hour in my week or an hour and a half in my week to review the session, but it’s really easy to say, I just need to find 15 minutes each day before Friday to get this done. I think that that truly just transformed our approach and as what has lent itself to a lot of success versus what our previous approach would’ve been. SS: I love hearing that. Adam, how about you from through your lens, how did it go? AP: I’ve actually been really impressed with how well it went, and I echo everything Elizabeth said in terms of the background on that. In terms of even some of the results, one of the more under anticipated items was sometimes I was building the training lessons late at night and was probably a little sleepy and got in the habit of weaving in some random jokes when every time I would caption an image that would be in there. That ended up getting a surprising amount of traction in our internal Slack and got some discussion going. That was one really cool result to see out of that was just being able to engage people with humor, even though I didn’t put a lot of thought into it at the time. We also launched this primarily as a soft launch in terms of the product itself and still gave people the option to sell on our old packaging at the start. Elizabeth, you can correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe nearly everyone almost immediately jumped into quoting prospects and customers on the new platform because they felt so comfortable with it and it was such an improvement over what we were doing before. SS: You guys have also seen some amazing results, Adam, as you said. You actually have 84% active learners in your training and coaching programs. What are your best practices for driving the adoption of those training programs? AP: I think in that particular case we were fortunate that we got such a big spike thanks to Elizabeth and others on running that product pivot. There was a lot of momentum. There was a lot of hype around that. It was such a large thing for the organization to go through, and by the time it happened, the entire company knew about it. Even people who weren’t necessarily mandated to complete the training were coming to me to ask for Highspot access so that they could go through the training on their own time. I think we were then able to seize on some of that and we were now getting much more mature in our efforts to build out sales plays in Highspot to reinforce some of those concepts and those are starting to get really great feedback. The hope is we’re already seeing a spike as well in the number of salespeople that are sending content to their prospects via the Highspot pitch function. It’s already bleeding into other net positives and hopefully that continues from the training side of things as well. I think in general the most important thing for us in driving adoption in the training is probably pretty tactical, but we just provide a lot of frequent completion reports to leadership and then help lean on them to stress the importance of it with their team. So again, I’m a team of one, Elizabeth’s part of a very small product marketing team, and we operate from a position of influence but not authority. We do our best to illustrate to people why this training is going to help them make more money. If that isn’t enough, then we lean on their leadership to help enforce it as well. SS: That’s fantastic. Adam. How do you ensure that training sticks, especially when it requires behavior change? Adam, I’d love for you to give us some of your perspective on this one. AP: One recent example is we’ve just switched our conversational intelligence tool from Chorus to Gong and I’m really excited to spend a lot more time with what I believe are more mature tracking capabilities to be able to highlight and share best practice customer call snippets with our reps. We’ve already done some of that recently. This is a brand new tool for us and so that’s one thing that we’re looking to drive a little bit more organic sharing of best practices in that sense. Then the other piece, when it comes to the challenger sales methodology that we started rolling out late last year, we’re still very early in that journey. We’ve gone through some of the training and it’s a lot of reinforcement of some of those concepts. Some of it is building a coaching culture within our sales managers and their teams to embed that in their day-to-day, but driving behavior changes. I’m very much learning the hard way, it is not something that can be done instantaneously, so I’m learning to be patient with it too. EO: That is everything Adam said, you know, plus, plus, plus. We’re actually currently in the process of making sure it sticks. We’re currently capturing what the post-training metrics look like, as well as evaluating what our follow-up training will look like throughout the summer. It’s never just a train once and you’re done, it’s always about repeating it multiple times. One thing that is also a big philosophy for me is making sure that we are meeting the learners where they’re at. Adam and I make lots of assumptions about what the best kind of training modality or method or location will be and then the learners actually get to use it, and then they give us really good feedback about what’s working for them. Maybe we go out and seek the feedback, but we do get feedback on what’s working for them and what isn’t and it’s so important just not to take it personally and actually be flexible and respond to the feedback that we’re receiving. It’s more important that we are responsive to the needs of our audience rather than trying to protect whatever assumptions we had made at the start and we just end up being incorrect about what the sellers actually needed. It’s really about meeting people where they are and really trying to penetrate into people’s assumptions or muscle memory. One thing that I love to do in previous training, for example, is I’ll get people to un-bookmark all of the outdated materials because they have new ones now. People are just used to certain routines or get stuck into certain ruts and it’s until you actually remove the outdated materials, sunset it and actually follow up and reinforce the new materials. Only then start to just get it. SS: I think that is fantastic advice, Elizabeth. Thank you, Adam. You guys use the Challenger methodology in your training, which is actually one of Highspot Marketplace partners. I would love to hear more about how you integrated Challenger into your training programs in Highspot. AP: I was really excited to notice it as part of the Highspot marketplace so that we could embed everything into Highspot instead. That’s one less login to ask people to remember, and it just really allows us to make sure that we can embed Challenger content, not just in the e-learning courses as part of a learning path or something along those lines, but we also do a lot of work to integrate it into our sales process spot and tie in lessons and Challenger templates and things along those lines. Many of our sales plays will incorporate the Challenger resources as reminders and reinforcement that way too. There’s the training side, which is delivered very well via Highspot, and then I think for me, the added bonus is really not having to have people log into a separate training platform when you’ve already got one. The second aspect was to be able to just embed it throughout Highspot to reinforce it in lots of different places. SS: I love that. Now, two more questions for you both. We talked a little bit about the metrics from some of the projects that you guys have done, but I’d like to broaden that out to look more broadly across the overarching programs that you guys are running around training. What are some of the key metrics that you look at to determine the success of training? I’d love to hear from both of you on this one. AP: I can start. This is again, admittedly, very much a development area for me personally. It’s something that I’m still growing into. A few of the things that we do look at are obviously completion percentages that we then share and discuss with leadership to make sure that they’re seeing the action that they want from their team. We are also starting to look at some of the positioning that we’re rolling out. We can quickly see how well that is being used on customer calls and this is pretty new for us. Over time we should also be able to see the impact that might have on win rates and things along those lines as well. The other piece that I’ve just started weaving in, and Elizabeth I’ll let you jump in next, is on sales play adoption. As we’re building more and more corresponding sales plays to go along with a lot of the sales training with some of the materials embedded there, it’s really great to be able to see for all of those related materials, how often are those getting interacted with, sent to prospects and things like that. EO: Definitely looking at the sales play adoption, and I really also love to see whatever engagement our audience has with the materials, even after the formal training period is complete because it shows that they’re returning to it, they find it valuable, and even after any sort of required first pass through, they’re engaging, maybe not what the initial trainings, but the resources that have been linked out from those trainings. Continual engagement with those materials and also any sort of adoption of new language after the training also shows us that it’s really being picked up and that the training was successful, which is again, why I am super excited about our new capabilities using Gong to be able to sort of review these sales calls and try to find instances of how and under what context our seller’s languages have changed based off of the training. SS: Fantastic. Last question for you both, and thank you so much for all the insights you’ve shared today. How does training influence not only your enablement and marketing goals but also top business priorities and what’s some of the business impact that you’ve seen? Adam, I’d love to hear from you to start and then Elizabeth to close us out. AP: Great question. I think for some of the top business priorities, Challenger in particular is an important component to the success of several of those. We sell a very technical product typically to a very technical audience at Redox and a lot of the shift in mindset that has been a year plus in the works is taking that conversation much more to a business level. Even if we might be talking to a software developer about some of the technical workflows that they need Redox to help them drive, we still want to get a much deeper understanding of why they’re trying to do those workflows, and what’s important to them and what’s at risk if that doesn’t happen the way that they need it to. Challenger has been a critical component in helping us adopt that mindset and get our sales team to have that conversation as well. We don’t necessarily hire people in sales for their technical expertise, so there can be a pretty large barrier, especially at a confidence level to run some of those conversations independently without having to bring a solutions engineer or something into support at a more technical level. Our space is getting larger and more competitive so in order to continue to grow at the rate that we want to, this is something we really need to master. Challenger in particular is just kind of woven into several of the company’s strategic priorities around launching some of these new products. EO: Thanks, Adam. I appreciate that. I have a slightly different perspective coming from the product org, which is one of our top business priorities or one of the major impacts that we’ve been looking to make from Redox is allowing our customers, as technical as they are, to build composable experiences. To be able to use our tools and our products to then improve their own product and make sure that their end user, being providers and patients, can have an end-to-end complete experience. What that means is being flexible and modular so that our customers are able to build these custom workflows depending on what their goals are. Those themes of being flexible and modular and responsive are what this product pivot was all about. I previously mentioned how we initially had scoped three one-hour training sessions and now it moved into 15-minute chunks over five weeks. I mean, that’s the definition of going from one kind of mode and then becoming more flexible and modular. I feel incredibly happy with the work that we’ve done through that training, but it could only have happened because we had taken those lessons of being more flexible and responsive and modular, and we also had like a corresponding tool to be able to move into that direction because that’s where we’re trying to go, not only in the training but in our goal for building composable experiences for all of our customers. If we’re telling them that they can use our tools to be as flexible and modular and composable as possible, that has to start with how we train our own sellers to be able to do that. SS: Absolutely. Elizabeth and Adam, thank you both so much for sharing your expertise on our podcast today. I really appreciate it. AP: Thank you for having us. This has been fun. I appreciate it. EO: Yeah, same here. SS: To our audience, thank you for listening to this episode of the Win Win podcast. Be sure to tune in next time for more insights on how you can maximize enablement success with Highspot.

ChatGPT entra nella sanità americana. Il software di OpenAI è già in sperimentazione in alcuni ospedali degli Stati Uniti, grazie a un accordo tra Microsoft ed Epic Systems per l'analisi delle cartelle cliniche. L'applicazione consentirà a medici e operatori sanitari di redigere automaticamente le risposte ai messaggi dei pazienti ma anche di individuare trend sanitari. La collaborazione, però, ha già destato dubbi da parte dei ricercatori sull'eticità e l'attendibilità dei sistemi di AI applicati a un settore così delicato.

February 10, 2023: Epic Systems invests one-half of its operating expenses on research and development. It's a striking figure compared to what other tech companies spend. Rather than acquiring new companies and technologies and trying to make disparate technologies work together, Epic builds new products and components from scratch. This means accelerated time-to-market. Seth Hain, long-time SVP of R&D takes us through their evolution of challenges. How does Epic stay ahead of the demands of healthcare? What are the underlying technology requirements to support changing business models? What are the characteristics for innovation and staying power in the industry?Key Points:There's a drive back towards foundation. Why is that?How do you always have the next two or three layers of the onion?

Con esta compañía tan genial, a nadie sorprende que surjan los debates tan interesantes que hemos tenido. ¿Estamos perdiendo el tiempo al esperar audio sin perdida en los AirPods ? Artículos recientemente publicados, nos hacen retomar el debate de la necesidad o no de dotar a los AirPods de audio Lossless. ¿Son un producto ya redondo o tienen esa asignatura pendiente? Los AirPods Pro de segunda generación, son en la actualidad, el producto estrella del audio portátil para Apple. Es por eso que nos preguntamos si deberían llevar esta tecnología implementada. O si por el contrario debería ser sus hermanos mayores, los AirPods Max, quienes sean los afortunados. Todo parece apuntar a que ninguno de los modelos actuales serán agraciados. ¿Conoces la diferencia entre Matter y Thread? Si quieres conocer estos nuevos términos y tecnologías, que van a unificar y revolucionar la domótica actual, nuestro gran godcaster nos lo explica, literalmente, con una mini presentación muy interesante e ilustrativa. En una nueva historia de Samsung haciendo de Samsung, promete mejorar el servicio de conexión satelital de emergencia en su nuevo terminal estrella, el Galaxy S23. En este caso, Iridium sería la compañía de servicios que ofrecería la señal de satélites. Una noticia interesante para el mundo de la salud y la tecnología.

Tim lives in Stoughton, Wisconsin with his wife and two adult children. Originally from Toledo, Ohio, Tim moved to Wisconsin over 23 years ago to marry Tracy. He graduated from St. John's Jesuit High School in 1983 and began attending the only college he ever wanted to go to–Ohio Northern University (ONU) where his grandfather was a leader in the Psychology Department. At ONU Tim studied Philosophy and Religion and Psychology while being involved in Sigma Theta Epsilon (Christian Service Fraternity), a faculty/student choir and with traveling ministry teams (Son's Rays and a failed attempt at puppetry.) Unfortunately Tim was only able to spend two years at ONU (for details, you can have him speak on growing up a child in an alcoholic household and becoming an alcoholic himself.) Tim transferred to Bowling Green State University (BGSU) and graduated (barely) in 1987 with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a minor in Philosophy. While at BGSU Tim was active in campus ministry and served as Youth Director for a local parish while volunteering with the Diocese of Toledo. The highlight of his BGSU career was listening to Mr. Rogers speak at his graduation ceremony. Tim spent time as Director of Pastoral Concerns and religion teacher at a local high school, as an early childhood educator and as a substance abuse counselor before being accepted into the Masters program at John Carroll University (Ohio) in 1990 and earning his Masters in Counseling in 1993. While at John Carroll (JCU), Tim was also involved in numerous volunteer activities including an outreach to Appalachia. He also received the Magis Award from the Student Council of JCU. After a year of working as a College Counselor and Hall Director in Ohio, Tim moved to West Virginia to volunteer on a Catholic Worker Farm. While there, a friend introduced him (over the phone) to the wonderful woman who would become his wife. Tim moved to Wisconsin in 1995 and Tracy and he were married that same year. They were blessed with Hunter being born in 1997 and Sami in 1999. Since moving to Wisconsin, Tim has worked in early childhood education; in customer service at Davis Duehr Dean; in Quality Assurance at Epic Systems; as an Office Manager at LakeView Church and as a House Father for the Elizabeth House. Ten years ago Tim was hired as an Outreach Specialist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Waisman Center where he currently works as the Director of the Southern Regional Center for Children and Youth with Special Health Care Needs, Family Discipline Coordinator for the WI LEND program and as a senior outreach specialist with the Youth Health Transition Initiative. In 2014, Tim finally finished a 10+year journey when he earned a Master of Arts in Christian Studies from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (Illinois). As his capstone project Tim combined the scientific research around forgiveness and his faith background's belief in forgiveness to develop an eight week course centered on why forgiveness is necessary and how to forgive. Since then Tim has taught about forgiveness at Stoughton Hospital, Lifest, area churches, local and statewide mental/behavioral health conferences, an aging conference, on the radio and at educator wellness events. Tim's brings a unique perspective through sharing his personal journey through childhood trauma, alcoholism, betrayals, misunderstandings, mental health challenges and life. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/normalizetheconversation/support

What does it take to work your way up? What does it take to keep improving yourself? What does it take to consistently grow in life? Some of the (many, many, many) answers to these questions can be found in this episode. My guest today is Udbhav Desai, and he is nothing less than a prime example of what it means to work your way up. He has achieved a lot of success, all at a pretty young age. As he explains in this episode, he is always looking for new things to learn, ways to grow, and methods for achieving the most out of a situation. His drive to not only succeed but overachieve is evident. Udbhav was born in the state of Gujarat India. He moved to Toronto, Canada in second grade, and then New Jersey in sixth grade. He attended Northwestern University, earning a Bachelors and Masters in Chemical Engineering and a minor in Geography, as well as graduating Magna Cum Laude. He then spent 5 years in Madison, Wisconsin working for Epic Systems in numerous analytics-focused roles, from Solution Engineering to managing to Business Intelligence Engineering. Now, he works for Alight Solutions as a Senior Manager of Business Intelligence and Analytics. Alongside his impressive business career, he loves staying actively involved in dance opportunities, seizing guest roles whenever possible. In this episode, Udbhav talks about numerous ways that he achieved and now maintains his success. He discusses how he constantly looked for ways to go above and beyond in college to get the most out of his education. He explains the importance of balancing confidence and humility. He touches on what he calls the work-life swing (and why he calls it that). And he states that instead of waiting your turn for success, you should "make it your turn." That is just scratching the surface of the ideas Udbhav has to offer on this topic. It's clear that Udbhav has reflected deeply on how he achieved his success and the mental state required to continue to grow and improve in life. Today, he shares that knowledge with you!

Tata Consultancy Services, told the stock exchanges yesterday that a US court, which was hearing the latest appeal in a case in which EPIC Systems, a US company, has accused India's biggest IT services company of stealing intellectual property, has passed an order reducing the jury award of punitive damages to $140 million. TCS is legally advised that it has strong arguments in its favour before an Appeal Court and the Order on the punitive damages are not supported by the facts presented by TCS before the Trial Court, the company said. “We have been advised that the Order and the Judgement (when issued) is appealable to the US Court of Appeals, 7th Circuit Chicago,” TCS said in its statement. TCS did not misuse or derive any benefit from EPIC's documents, according to its statement. The lawsuit has been on for about seven years now. Vauld, a crypto exchange and lender, has locked out customers, citing the economic downturn. The Singapore company, started by entrepreneur Darshan Bathija, is backed by investors including billionaire Peter Thiel, co-founder of PayPal and a VC investor. “We are facing financial challenges despite our best efforts,” the company said in a statement on its website. This is due to a combination of circumstances such as the volatile market conditions, the financial difficulties of key business partners affecting the company, and the current market climate which has led to a significant amount of customer withdrawals of nearly $200 million since June 12 — when the latest crypto crash started. The company has hired lawyers and is in the process of filing an application to ask for a moratorium on any proceedings against it so it can explore options including a restructuring. “In the meantime, we have made the difficult decision to suspend all withdrawals, trading and deposits on the Vauld platform with immediate effect,” Vauld said in its statement. Xiaomi's latest flagship phone, Mi 12S Ultra, has a 1-inch camera sensor, The Verge reports. Xiaomi is said to have collaborated with Leica to develop the camera system, and with Sony on the sensor. The camera system has three cameras — a 48 megapixel ultra-wide lens, a 48 megapixel telephoto with 5x optical zoom (and 120x digital zoom), and a 50 megapixel main camera, which uses that 1-inch sensor, according to The Verge. The smartphone itself has a 6.73-inch OLED display with 120Hz refresh rate, a top-of-the-line Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 system-on-chip, a 4,860 mAh battery, 67W wired fast charging, and IP68 water and dust resistance. The phone is also supposed to be the first Android device capable of shooting in Dolby Vision HDR. Theme music courtesy Free Music & Sounds: https://soundcloud.com/freemusicandsounds

Class and collective actions continue to increase under the FLSA and state wage and hour law.  Arbitration agreements containing a class and collective action waiver can be an effective means of minimizing the risks of such lawsuits.  While many employers implemented arbitration programs in the wake of the Supreme Court's Epic Systems decision in 2018, arbitration of employment disputes presents many pros and cons that should be considered.  Additionally, arbitration agreements must still be enforceable under state law and, therefore, should be carefully drafted and implemented.  Finally, the Biden Administration and many federal and state legislators have indicated an intention to ban mandatory employment arbitration, which would have far-reaching consequences for many employers that currently rely on such programs to mitigate the risks of class and collective action lawsuits. Co-chair of Fisher Phillips Wage and Hour Practice Group Hagood Tighe joins Matthew Korn to discuss this timely issue.

COVID-19 has underscored the importance of proactive healthcare in disease management in front of the public eye. Join us this week as we chat with Annie Riley and Gillian Murphy about what it's like to work for Epic Systems and how the company is positioning itself to be on the front lines of helping health systems understand and consider the social determinants of health in the care they provide.

Judy Faulkner is the founder and CEO of Epic Systems. Judy started Epic in 1979 in a basement in Madison, Wisconsin, and 41 years later more than 250 million patients have a current electronic record in Epic. Her company's enormous success led Forbes to name Judy the most successful female technology company founder. One of the few self-made women billionaires, Judy has signed the Giving Pledge started by Bill & Melinda Gates and Warren Buffett, pledging 99% of her assets to philanthropy to help others. In our discussion, Judy takes us back to the start of Epic, when she was a student lured into the new field of computer science, and the journey that brought her to where she is today.

One of our favorite things about the holiday season is all the snacks. Between the traditional meals, it's more than acceptable to absentmindedly nibble on candy, cheese, fruit and nuts. Nutkrack, candied, lightly salted pecans created by chef Eric Rupert, are made for exactly these moments. Rupert is also the executive chef at Epic Systems and has been making candied pecans for friends for over a decade. Now they're available to anyone, toasted and packaged at his little shop on Atwood Avenue. This week on podcast, Lindsay and Chris talk with Rupert about how the pandemic has affected his business, where those petite pecans come from and why they're so compulsively snackable.

Stories of hospital lab early adopters that have successfully implemented third-party decision support Current events highlight the critical role of the hospital laboratory as the primary source of diagnostic information. But legislation such as PAMA (Protecting Access to Medicare Act) can potentially reduce lab reimbursements when clinical decision support is not used to ensure appropriate care. This audiobook provides front-line perspective and commentary from experts and physicians at Mayo Clinic Laboratory on the application of clinical decision support technology in the lab. It also includes data from early adopters in hospital laboratories that have successfully implemented third-party decision support to achieve their stewardship goals, including electronic health record (EHR) interventions, and ongoing monitoring of utilization. By Ben Gold and Curtis Hanson, M.D. Ben Gold leads CareSelect product strategy for Change Healthcare, to help providers transition to value-based care.

Coté proposes that there’s three types of apps to pay attention to in enterprises. Or something like that. Also, he has a magical method for doing digital transformation: actually do it. We open up discussing the delightful adventure of doing analyst feature matrixes. Also, some brief discussion of Apple Watches in the impeachment trial. Mood board: The game is won or lost before the spreadsheet it sent. Incrementally updating apps, vs. making new businesses (digitizing) - like, maybe there just needs to be more programmers. It’s not “stupid,” it’s “antiquated.” Don’t make them think it is a big deal, or they’ll be afraid. Finding business case loopholes, or ignoring them. Can you base practices on loopholers?

Over the last decade, the U.S. Supreme Court has repeatedly recognized the primacy of the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) by enforcing the terms of arbitration agreements in the employment, consumer and other contexts – including mandatory and class action waivers. The FAA encourages a mechanism for the resolution of disputes that most recognize as quicker and less expensive than courts. Some argue the benefits of arbitration are waning in the #MeToo era, with confidentiality provisions in arbitration agreements. Students at Harvard, Stanford, Yale and other elite laws schools are pressuring Big Law to dump mandatory arbitration, while some large employers have publicly abandoned legally enforceable arbitration agreements. Yet, at least one study shows employees do as well or better in terms of win rate and recoveries in arbitration as opposed to the judiciary. First introduced after the Epic Systems decision, the Restoring Justice for Workers Act (H.R. 2749) would prohibit mandatory arbitration in employment disputes. What is the future of mandatory arbitration? Is ending mandatory arbitration for all employment claims an over-reaction? Will forcing disputes into the judiciary mean fewer disputes will be brought to resolution? What about non-disclosure provisions in arbitration agreements? Will fewer employment agreements require arbitration of employment claims in the future?Hon. Paul D. Clement, Former United States Solicitor General and Partner, Kirkland & EllisProf. Alexander J. S.

About Anna Koeck Born in communist Russia, Dr. Anna Koeck emigrated to the US at the age of 10 with her single mom Rimma. With hard work and perseverance, Dr. Koeck received a triple business degree from UW Madison, managed multi-million-dollar software projects at Epic Systems and graduated Magna Cum Laude from ICO with her Doctor of Optometry Degree. To help the entire world see clearly at a transparent price, she opened Theia Vision Care and within the first year was voted the top doctor in Lake Country, WI.   Why do you do what you do? “I come from a very different country. I'm an immigrant and I watched my mom work really hard to bring me to this country and to get me where I'm at. And my mom is definitely an inspiration. She's a role model.”   When should your child get a first eye exam? “6 to 18 months should be their first eye exam. And that tends to surprise people.”   What is Direct Medical Care and Theia Concierge Care, and why is it right for me? “In a nutshell, the direct care is the idea of I'm directly seeing you and there's not an intermediary third party involved, be it insurance, vision plan, or other pieces. By eliminating steps, I'm eliminating time and money spent on that so I can now spend the time in my chair with you and ask you extra questions and get your kids in. And because I save money, I pass that on to you as well in the product and services.”   Can you share with me your most successful or favorite networking story/experience that you’ve had? “Just a random event running off a couple of years ago to a vision expo in New York. And I was flying out of Milwaukee right here. And typically there's not a long line to get into the airport, but that particular morning, for whatever reason, I don't know if it was spring break or what was going on, this long, long line…”   How do you stay in front of or best nurture your network community? “Continuing to put yourself out there and making the time. So, there's always a conversation about time management, and how do you do everything? You don't. You put things on your schedule and you make something a priority. And if you do that, it’ll happen.”   What advice do you have for the professional on growing their network? “Put yourself out there. So, it's always, you know, some of these cliches, but they're kind of cliche for a reason, right? You get growth out of being uncomfortable.”   Digital networking or traditional networking? “I'm still thinking about that question as well. I mean, a little bit of a balance.”   If you could go back to your 20-year-old self, what would you tell yourself to do more or less of regarding your career? “That's really interesting to kind of go back in time. What if I could change anything? And the more I thought about it, the more I kind of embraced the overall, ‘you're exactly where you're supposed to be’. And I firmly believe that.”   We’ve all heard of the 6 degrees of separation… Now, who would be the one person you’d love to connect with and do you think you could do it within the 6th degree? “The professional answer would probably be Oprah and there are ways to, you know, reach out on her. There's an email account. You know, I went to graduate school in Chicago, her studios were down there. So, I think it's possible.”   What book are you reading right now? “I just finished I am Malala. And she is a huge activist for education, children's education and particularly girl’s education, grew up in Pakistan and through a variety of things that have happened, I think she now lives in England.”   Any final words of advice for our listeners? “There's a code that says, ‘there is no way to happiness, happiness is the way’ and replace happiness with anything else. So, you just do it, you find an event and you go to it or…you just kind of continue to do the things that you're looking to achieve and hopefully eventually you get there.”     You can get in contact with Dr. Anna Koeck at: Office Phone: 262-361-0022 Website: www.theiavisioncare.com LinkedIn: Click Here

x       Alex J. Wood -- Liberator or 'Boss from Hell'?: The Gig Economy's Double Edge Oxford Internet Institute Researcher Alex J. Wood discusses the gig economy's double edge from the perspective of workers themselves. Bio Alex J. Wood (@tom_swing) is a Researcher at the Oxford Internet Institute. He is a sociologist of work and employment, focusing on the changing nature of employment relations and labour market transformation. Alex is currently researching new forms of worker voice and collective action in the online gig economy as part of the iLabour project. Alex previously researched online labour markets and virtual employment relations in Sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia as part of the “Microwork and Virtual Production Networks in Sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia” project. This project investigates the economic and social implications of new forms of economic activities in the context of ICTs for development. Alex completed his PhD at the University of Cambridge Department of Sociology where he also worked as Research Associate on an ESRC impact acceleration project to evaluate potential ways of reducing workplace stress resulting from insecure scheduling. Alex’s PhD (2015) is titled the “The insecure worker: workplace control in the 21st Century”. His PhD focuses on the changing nature of flexible and insecure forms of work such as zero hour contracts. New patterns of working-time flexibility and how this relates to insecurity, well-being, and issues of workplace control and resistance being central to account developed. He also has a long standing interest in the relationships between industrial relations, union renewal and emerging forms of workplace representation and new patterns of class and inequality. Previously he received his MPhil in Sociology from the University of Cambridge (2011) with distinction. He received a first class BSc (hons) degree in Politics and Sociology, from Aston University (2009). Resources Oxford Internet Institute Good Gig, Bad Gig: Autonomy and Algorithmic Control in the Global Gig Economy by Alex J. Wood, Mark Graham and Vili Lehdonvirta   News Roundup New Facebook breach affects 50 million users Facebook reported a data breach that began to take effect in July of 2017 when Facebook updated its View As feature which allows users to see how their profile looks to specific friends. The company said it didn’t discover the breach until September. While the company didn’t dislose exactly which user data was stolen or who stole it, it did reveal that the hackers obtained access tokens that enabled them to manipulate user accounts. Facebook says it has notified affected users and required them to log back into their accounts. Elon Musk steps down as Tesla over tweets/SEC fraud investigation Elon Musk has stepped down as the Chairman of Tesla and will need to pay a $20 million fine for his tweet last month saying he had “funding secured” for a $420 per share buyout of the company. The SEC had sued Musk for the tweet saying it misled investors. The SEC said that the $420 stock price was a weed reference—intended to impress his girlfriend, rapper Grimes. He was also smoking up on Joe Rogan’s podcast. Obviously he was confused and bewildered—talking in tongues and rapping freestyle. Federal prosecutors are now probing the ad industry Federal prosecutors have launched an investigation into ad agencies who buy advertising time on behalf of large corporate brands. A recent Association of National Retailers report found that media outlets have been offering ad agencies rebates—cash back after they meet spending threshholds -- but that the money hasn’t been making its way back advertisers. Suzanne Vranica and Nicole Hong report in the Wall Street Journal. Environmental Protection Agency to dissolve science advisory office The EPA will be dissolving its science office and ostensibly rolling it into the agency’s Office of Research and Development. This is the same agency that has basically censored the terms “climate change” from its website, speeches and all of pr collateral. It has also stopped giving climate change awards and is working to roll back full efficiency standards. Federal preemption is trending The doctrine of Federal pre-emption took center-stage this week in three different areas: net neutrality, privacy, and 5G buildout. Remember the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution makes federal law the supreme law of the land. On the net neutrality front, the state of California passed its own set of net neutrality rules that mirror the ones the FCC passed in 2015 but that Ajit Pai’s FCC repealed earlier this year. The Department of Justice is now suing the state of California, claiming the federal preemption doctrine. On privacy, Amazon, Alphabet, Apple, AT&T, Charter, and Twitter told the Senate Commerce Committee last week that they would support federal privacy regulation that would preempt California’s privacy law, set to go into effect in 2020, which would give California consumers more control over their data. But a national privacy framework that would preempt state privacy rules has support from both sides of the aisle. And on 5G … the FCC passed new rules last week that would minimize the role of local and state authorities in the review process to build out 5G wireless infrastructure, by limiting fees that local and state authorities charge carriers in order to deploy 5G and capping the shot clock to require local authorities to approve 5G applications within 60 to 90 days. Verizon begins 5G rollout in 4 cities Five days following the FCC’s order to limit local and state oversight of 5G deployment, Verizon announced that it would be deploying 5G in Houston, Indianapolis, Los Angeles and Sacramento. This makes Verizon the first company in the world to offer 5G on a commercial basis to individual consumers. Brian Fung has more in the Washington Post. Federal court rules against Uber drivers suing as a class Finally, the federal District Court of the Northern District of California has ruled to de-certify a class of nearly 240,000 Uber drivers who are suing Uber, saying that they should be considered employees rather than independent contractors. This would entitle them to better benefits and things like reimbursement for gas. The decision was long expected since the US Supreme Court ruled back in May – in Epic Systems v. Louis – that courts are required to honor arbitration agreements that gig workers sign up for.  All 240, 000 drivers would now have to pursue their claims individually.

This Supreme Court term saw several high-profile cases in which the court adjudicated labor issues. The Janus decision, with its implications for public sector unions, and the Epic Systems decision, regarding the use of private arbitration, drew the media's attention this year. Somewhat less widely covered were important decisions of lower courts, which have been adjudicating issues such as the validity of non-compete agreements, whether non-poach agreements among franchisees are legal, and what defines when a worker must be considered an employee. While these and other employment-related court rulings can seem technical or dry, the impact of these rulings will be felt by virtually everyone with a job: the over 150 million wage and salary workers in the United States. Throughout history, courts have played a key role in interpreting and enforcing the rules that govern work, balancing the rights and interests of workers and those of the companies they work for. How courts strike that balance has changed over the years and has influenced the continuing evolution of the relationship between workers and employers. In this event, we hear from legal and economic scholars and worker advocates about the critical role that courts have in setting the rules for the employer-employee relationship and the impact these decisions can have on individuals and the economy. This event features Oren Cass (Senior Fellow, Manhattan Institute), Sarita Gupta (Co-Director, Jobs with Justice), Christine Owens (Executive Director, National Employment Law Project), Evan Starr (Assistant Professor of Management & Organization, Robert H. Smith School of Business, University of Maryland), and moderator Lauren Weber (Workplace Reporter, Wall Street Journal). This event is part of the Working in America series, an ongoing discussion series hosted by the Aspen Institute Economic Opportunities Program that highlights an array of critical issues affecting low- and moderate-income workers in the United States and ideas for improving and expanding economic opportunities for working people. For more information, visit as.pn/workinginamerica. The Economic Opportunities Program advances strategies, policies, and ideas to help low- and moderate-income people thrive in a changing economy. We recognize that race, gender, and place intersect with and intensify the challenge of economic inequality and we address these dynamics by advancing an inclusive vision of economic justice. For over 25 years, EOP has focused on expanding individuals' opportunities to connect to quality work, start businesses, and build economic stability that provides the freedom to pursue opportunity.

The Epic Systems case is a recent United States Supreme Court decision that could have a significant impact on businesses and employees throughout the country. But is it good or bad for you? The Supreme Court has ruled that companies can use an arbitration clause in an employment contract. So, instead of going to court, employees may have to resolve disputes with their employer through arbitration. Is this good for employees? Or is it entirely lop-sided, and all in the favor of the company? This makes for a hot topic, and why you want to hear this podcast episode. Listen in as JDSA attorney Colleen Frei explains the new U.S. Supreme Court ruling and how it can affect you, in Arbitration — The Impact of Employment Dispute Resolution Agreements.

In Epic Systems v. Lewis, the Supreme Court ruled that employment contracts can legally bar employees from collective arbitration. In this report from On The Road at ABA Annual Meeting 2018, host Laurence Colletti talks to Adam Fuller, Heidi Roll, Maya Ewing, and Daniel Hemel about how the Epic Systems v. Lewis case has changed the use of arbitration clauses in employment agreements. They discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this decision and how employees, employers, and even law students have reacted to the use of arbitration clauses. Maya Ewing is the senior corporate counsel at Allstate. Adam Fuller is a Principal and Co-founder at Bregal Sagemount. Heidi Roll is a Financial and Professional Lines Claims Manager for Starr Companies with eight years of claims handling experience. Daniel Hemel is an assistant professor of law at the University of Chicago Law School.

The Supreme Court’s 2017-2018 term will soon be over, but the need for serious analysis has just begun. Did the High Court get the big cases right? What will the Court’s ruling in Trump v. Hawaii mean for immigration and executive power? Is the future for religious freedom secure in the wake of Masterpiece Cakeshop Ltd. V. Colorado Civil Rights Commission? How will Gill v. Whitford and Benisek v. Lamone, the partisan gerrymandering cases, impact the upcoming mid-term elections? Will Janus v. AFSCME sound the death knell for public employee unions across the country? How will the Court’s arbitration agreements in Epic Systems affect employers and employees? What response, if any, is necessary from Congress following South Dakota v.

In this episode, Matt welcomes David Sherwyn, Professor of Law at the Cornell University School of Hotel Administration & Director of Cornell’s Center for Innovative Hospitality Labor & Employment Relations, to discuss many of the cutting-edge employment law/HR issues currently facing the hospitality industry. Among other things, Matt and David cover: (a) the various legal, business, and operational questions surrounding “tipped” workforces; (b) the overlay, if any, between tipping and harassment, and the future of tipping generally; (c) why innovation and technology is continuing to disrupt the hospitality sector and redefine the nature of hospitality work; (d) the United States Supreme Court’s recent Epic Systems decision (upholding mandatory arbitration and class action waivers) and why David believes strongly that, for both employers and employees, non-class arbitration is preferable to litigation; and (e) best practices for all employers based upon lessons learned from the hospitality sector. http://www.akerman.com/podcasts/disclaimer/workedup.html

On May 21, the Supreme Court decided Epic Systems v. Lewis; a consolidated case with Ernst & Young, LLP, et al. v. Morris, et al. and NLRB v. Murphy Oil USA, Inc., et al. affirming the enforceability of Class Action Waivers contained within arbitration agreements governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) against employees covered by the National Labor Relations Act (“NLRA”). These two federal statutes had been on a collision course for some time: the FAA mandates enforcement of arbitration agreements according to their terms, including terms that specify with whom parties choose to arbitrate their disputes; the NLRA protects non-supervisory employees’ rights to engage in certain concerted activities. Christopher Murray of Ogletree, Deakins joins us to discuss this important 5-4 decision. Featuring:Christopher C. Murray, Shareholder, Ogletree, Deakins, Nash, Smoak & Stewart, P.C.

This week's episode celebrates everything that is terrible about gainful employment.  Brett and Nazim spend the first part of the episode disincentivizing you from wanting to become a lawyer by sharing stories about the profession, and then cover the case of NLRB v. Murphy's Oil (also Epic Systems v. Lewis & Ernst and Young v. Morris), which discuss whether the National Labor Relations Act supersedes the National Arbitration Act by providing a right to class actions for employees who sign mandatory employment arbitration agreements.  Case discuss starts at (13:08).

Eric was born in Lake Forest, Illinois, but was raised in Bristol, Wisconsin. He grew up having to make extremely tough decisions, such as deciding to root for the Bears or Packers… just kidding. But cheering on the Cubs… not so much (also, now you know he's not a bandwagon fan).In all reality, growing up on the state line and playing sports in Illinois while going to school in rural Wisconsin taught him a lot at an early age about the different walks of life.Eric was always an extremely outgoing, emotional, and friendly kid — these characteristics really were the basis of learning to connect with people from different backgrounds, and encouraged me to get out of my comfort zone to create shared experiences and extend new bridges to curate new friendships.He was also a strong student, took several AP classes, but also managed to procure two underage drinking tickets at the age of 15. It’s not fun having an even earlier curfew your senior year than your freshman, but that’s what happens when you break trust.Eric went to school at UW-Madison, and graduated from the Wisconsin School of Business. Good ol’ Madison, where he tailgated too much, studied too little, but made the right amount of friends and had the perfect amount of cheese curds. This landed me a nifty, high-paying job at Epic Systems as a project manager for Radiology implementation for EMRs into large hospitals.This is the same place he lasted a mere 11 months before beginning his entrepreneurial journey, and failing very hard for the next 7 to 8 years until present day.He has co-founded (or been a partner in) three companies that have eclipsed seven figures (the fourth will happen this year), invested in two startups, built a solid personal cryptocurrency portfolio (hedge fund coming soon), and helped contribute to a 21.4M raise for a venture-backed men’s apparel company.Website: http://ericallred.com/

Employers across the country are anxiously awaiting a ruling from the United States Supreme Court regarding the enforceability of express waivers of an employee’s right to bring or participate in a class or collective action. In three cases set for oral argument on October 2nd – Epic Systems v. Lewis; Ernst & Young, LLP, et al. v. Morris, et al.; and NLRB v. Murphy Oil USA, Inc., et al. – the Supreme Court will decide whether Class Action Waivers contained within arbitration agreements governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) are enforceable against employees covered by the National Labor Relations Act (“NLRA”). These two federal statutes have been on a collision course for some time: the FAA mandates enforcement of arbitration agreements according to their terms, including terms that specify with whom parties choose to arbitrate their disputes, and the NLRA protects non-supervisory employees’ rights to engage in certain concerted activities.The National Labor Relations Board (“NLRB”) has taken the position that class action waivers, even when contained within FAA-governed arbitration agreements, are unenforceable because they violate employees’ rights to engage in protected, concerted activity under the NLRA. Two of the lower court decisions, the Seventh Circuit’s Lewis v. Epic Systems, 823 F. 3d 1147 (7th Cir. 2016), and the Ninth Circuit’s Morris v. Ernst & Young, LLP, 834 F.3d 975 (9th Cir. 2016), have adopted the NLRB’s position. In the third case, Murphy Oil USA, Inc. v. NLRB, 808 F.3d 1013 (5th Cir. 2015), the Fifth Circuit rejected the NLRB’s position and held that arbitration agreements, including class action waivers, must be enforced according to their terms under the FAA, notwithstanding the NLRB’s interpretation of the NLRA.On October 2nd, Edward Berbarie of Littler Mendelson attended the Supreme Court Oral Argument and provided his commentary and insights, including the issues that were focused upon, the questions that were asked and how they were addressed by the parties, and his predictions as to how the Court will rule. Featuring:Edward F. Berbarie, Shareholder, Littler Mendelson P.C.
