Podcasts about innovation series

In the fifth podcast of our Innovation Series, we take a look at whether innovation using technology and automation is suitable for all practices. Jenny Partridge (Innovation Manager, Kent, Surrey, Sussex) speaks to Practice Manager Shaun Austin about how to position trying new ways of working if the practice staff are comfortable working in a traditional way. They discuss lab results automation, how safe it is clinically, and how you can find out more about automation to assure yourself on its effectiveness. Non-clinical uses of automation and AI are often an easier place to start and build confidence in the benefits of technological solutions; for example helping patients to register more easily or providing website assistants to help patients navigate to the services they need.

NOTES: Funded by the Department of Labor through the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, the goal of the Workforce Pathways for Youth Project is to engage four Ys who have been delivering workforce readiness support in their communities, that help young people become career-ready. The YMCA of the USA will then leverage the robust experience of the four Ys and their Workforce Partnership Teams (ie collaborative partners) to increase access to and engagement in workforce readiness efforts. Y-USA will then develop a continuum of evidence-informed, workforce readiness strategies and leading practices to scale through Activation Cohorts. The long-term outcome will be an increase in the number of Ys offering workforce readiness services and an increase in the number of young people served. --- About the Causenetic Podcast: The Causenetic podcast is focused on expanding the Y's mission to audiences and providing conversation, inspiration, and influence.
