Oliver Galicki, AVP of the EHR Modernization Program at Memorial Hermann Health System, discusses the nuances of Epic migration and their creative approach to staff reallocation.

The employee/employer relationship is changing; employee engagement is at an all-time low, and countless research studies tell us that a significant proportion of the workforce is considering quitting their jobs. At the same time, despite the economic backdrop, many companies are struggling to get the talent they need due to significant skill shortages in some areas.

A positive work culture has never been more critical and is a strong differentiator for employers focusing on building one. My guest this week is Lori Knowles, Chief Human Resources Officer at Memorial Hermann Health System. Memorial Hermann has had some spectacular hiring and retention outcomes in a highly challenging talent market by focusing on their culture. In our discussion, Lori talks us through the five levers they use to drive culture and the results they are getting.

This live episode from the Becker's Hospital Review 13th Annual Meeting in Chicago features Frances Atiase Monroe, System Director of Population Health and Wellness Strategy Officer at Memorial Hermann Health System. Here, she discusses her career journey, what she is most excited about in healthcare, and more.This episode is sponsored by Insight Global Health.

In June 2021 I argued in STAT News that HHS require healthcare providers to publicly disclose their GHG emissions that in turn would help enable the healthcare industry to decarbonize.  In order to do this, I argued the the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) Energy Star Portfolio Manager tool be exploited.  Already well over 50% of hospitals use Energy Star to better manger their energy consumption, i.e., improve their energy efficiency.  Energy Star, an online energy benchmarking tool widely used to track commercial building energy consumption - that accounts for 20% of US GHG emissions - was jointly created by the Department of Energy (DOE) and the EPA in 1992 under authority of the Clean Air Act.  Energy Star has become the standard against which approximately 40 cities and other governing jurisdictions throughout the US, and authorities overseas including the European Union, measure mandated GHG emission reductions.   Energy use is particularly a concern to the US healthcare industry.  Among other things, while representing less than 5% of the total area in the commercial sector, healthcare facilities account for over 10% of total energy consumption.  This is largely due to the fact US hospitals are on average more than two times more energy intensive as European hospitals.   During this 37-minute interview Mr. Reed begins by explaining why Energy Star was created.  He proceeds to explain that any building can be benchmarked, how Energy Star Portfolio Manager scores buildings, the meaning thereof and the meaning of an Energy Star "certified" score.  He notes scoring can automatically calculate GHG emissions.  Mr. Reed next provides an overview of what data elements are required for scoring, discusses the use and benefit by healthcare industry by profiling Memorial Hermann Health System's success, provides Energy Star performance data, for example, savings from avoided energy costs, avoided greenhouse gas emissions and public health benefits, potential use by community health clinics and potential effects of related Inflation Reduction Act provisions.   Mr. Clark Reed has been a national program manager for ENERGY STAR® at the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) since 1997.  His work supports hospitals and other healthcare providers, Fortune 500 companies, and numerous other companies in use of ENERGY STAR to create energy management programs that substantially improve energy performance and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.  He has managed the EPA's efforts to establish an ENERGY STAR score for acute care hospitals, medical offices, and senior care communities.  Mr. Reed has also served on the American Hospital Association's American Society for Healthcare Engineering's (ASHE's) Operational Excellence task force and the steering committees of the U.S. Green Buildings Council and the Green Guide for Health Care.  Mr. Reed writes regularly on energy issues for numerous trade publications.  He hold an an MA in environmental policy from Tufts University and a BA in economics from the University of Washington.  He lives in a certified net zero energy home in Maryland with his wife and son.For more information on Energy Star go to: https://www.energystar.gov/.

Most of us are familiar with the “Triple Aim,” where health care providers hope to improve the patient experience, create better health outcomes and lower health care cost. Recently, the industry has added a fourth aim to this list: to improve the work life of our providers, including clinicians, nurses and other care team members. Catering to this “Quadruple Aim” requires a complex process for data mining and data management. This calls for a cross-functional team that can drive these processes to meet the needs of health care leaders and administrators. Ultimately, an accessible and longitudinal view of personal medical records can lead to better and more cost-effective care. In recent years, Memorial Hermann Health System has built a population health strategy that aims to improve physician and patient experience while reducing costs. Memorial Hermann is comprised of 16 hospitals throughout Southeast Texas and is the largest not-for-profit health care system in the state. In this episode of The Cerner Podcast, we’re joined by two members of the Memorial Hermann Health Care System who have worked diligently to advance the health of the system’s patients and members. Angie Massey is the director of strategic analytics for the population health services organization, and Paul Lampi is the director of enterprise analytics and reporting.
