Topic:  Building Resilience through System Transformation

 Overview:

In this workshop we will explore the impact that the current health care environment and culture have on caregiver well-being, and how this directly relates to patient care, community health, and organizational health.  We will highlight the importance of systemic transformation, including strategy, leadership commitment, and joint accountability, in order to successfully meet the Quadruple Aim.  We will use a simple framework to review evidence-based drivers (root causes) and targeted interventions to map out our efforts to create safe, healthy, rewarding, and inspiring environments. 

 Topic:  Health in Virginia: What’s Next?

Overview:   With the COVID-19 pandemic, Virginia has faced some challenging issues that have impacted healthcare across the Commonwealth.  This presentation will discuss the various factors that have impacted healthcare and how those have been addressed.  Additionally, with a new administration in the Capitol, there have been some legislative changes in Virginia that will impact healthcare across the state.  We will address those changes and discuss the priorities we must focus on to create a healthier Virginia for all.

Topic:  How to Make Remote Employees Feel More Connected

Overview:   Working remotely has a lot of perks, both for a company and its employees. Employers save money by avoiding the expenses that come with a traditional office and can choose the best people for their team regardless of their location. Remote workers get to enjoy more flexibility, get rid of the annoying daily commute, and spend more time at home with their families.

Although many organizations already saw these benefits and were trending toward remote workforces, the coronavirus pandemic forced others to abruptly shift to a work-from-home model (even if they didn't want to). With this came several new challenges. A primary one being a lack of perceived connection. However, there are several tools and strategies you can implement to help your remote team feel more connected.
