SCL Health

The View From You Survey Begins Next Monday

August 27, 2018 by PVMC Leave a Comment

One of the most important opportunities we have to make Platte Valley an outstanding place to work is gathering, listening to and taking action on the feedback our associates provide through “The View from You” associate survey. This year’s associate survey will be conducted September 4 through September 25. Your view matters! Check your SCL Health email for a message from Press Ganey on September 4. The email contains a secure link and unique password for the survey.

This year’s Associate Engagement survey includes Culture of Safety questions. In addition, Registered Nurses will have questions about Nursing Excellence. The survey is completely confidential. The online survey does not track back to individuals’ computers. The survey response data are located on the vendor’s server and SCL Health never sees individual responses. All responses are grouped with other responses. The online survey will take about 20 minutes to complete. You can take the survey from your work computer, a computer workstation, your personal computer or your mobile device, such as your phone or tablet.

This is your chance to tell us what you think about our culture, resources to do your job, teamwork, your work team and manager. Share your view about what’s working well and where we have opportunities for improvement. Your input will help to shape our work environment – last year we created action plans to make improvements as a result of the 2017 survey, and together we’ll do the same with this year’s survey results.

It’s easy to complete the online survey. Watch for an email from Press Ganey on September 4. The email contains a link to the survey and your unique password. You can forward the message to yourself, but do not forward it to anyone else. Note: If clicking on the survey link within your email doesn’t open the survey in your browser, go to apps.sclhs.net and launch Internet Explorer from there. Once it opens, copy and paste the survey link into that browser and take the survey. If you still have trouble, contact TAC.

Last year we had a great completion score! We’re hoping to reach 100 percent participation this year, so please make sure to keep your eyes out for the email from Press Ganey. Your careful feedback is vitally important and extremely valuable.

Emails from Platte Valley Medical Center associates should contain sign-off information listing the sender’s name, title, care site, contact address, email, telephone numbers and/or direct extension, fax and website. You may choose to develop a shorter version for internal use only. We have also prepared a smaller version of our logo for use in your signature – click here to download it. It’s the sixth file on the list, entitled “PVMC_email_signature.”

You’ve Got Ideas. Pitch Them in the 2018 Innovation Challenge!

March 6, 2018 by PVMC Leave a Comment

SCL Health believes the best solutions to solving today’s toughest healthcare challenges come from within. That’s why we are again inviting all associates to put on your thinking caps, form teams and come up with innovative ideas that improve care during the second annual Innovation Challenge. You could win up to $150,000 to turn your idea into reality, plus $1,000* in take-home cash!

This year we challenge you to come up with ideas that will help improve care for communities and populations – not just individuals with immediate health needs – by focusing on the social determinants of health.

We’re calling this concept “360˚ of Caring,” and we can’t wait to hear your ideas!

To submit your team’s idea and learn more about the challenge, visit SCLHealthInnovation.org. The deadline for submissions is March 25 at noon.

Ready to get started? Here is what you need to know:

Read the additional materials on the website to help inform and shape your idea!
Form a team and get to work on the solution. When your idea is ready for primetime, submit it online: http://www.sclhealthinnovation.org
Ideas will be evaluated by an Innovation Council consisting of the Innovation and Virtual Health team, clinical experts, and senior leaders, using criteria such as:
- ‘Degrees of caring’ (inclusion of social determinants of health – read section below)
- Positive impact on the patient journey or quality
- Feasibility
- Time-to-execution
- Return on investment or Cost Avoidance
Ideas will also be posted online and subject to popular vote. Semi-finalists will be asked to supply additional details required to further vet the viability of their ideas. Finalists will receive special training and be asked to present ideas to senior leaders. Winners will be provided funding and resources to implement their ideas.

Good luck!

Get a Preview of SCL Health’s New Brand Campaign, Power to the Patient

January 16, 2018 by PVMC Leave a Comment

This year we’re unleashing the collective power of SCL Health to connect with our patients in a new, powerful way.

As we shared last September, for the last five years, SCL Health has been on a transformative journey, becoming increasingly more integrated, connected and coordinated. We’re excited to announce that our new brand campaign, “Power to the Patient,” will launch in the Front Range beginning the week of January 22. The campaign will include new television and radio commercials, digital, social media, and print ads. Our ads will play during popular headline events, so if you’re in the Front Range, make sure to tune in to the Grammy Awards, Super Bowl, Olympics and the Oscars!

Power to the Patient will replace our successful “People Healing People” campaign, with a focus on all the ways SCL Health has evolved to meet our patients’ needs for empowerment, empathy and being treated as a whole person.

Our new campaign is about putting the spotlight where it belongs: On working moms. On new dads. On active seniors. And everyone in between. We listened to our patients when they asked for more ways to be involved in their own healthcare, and we’re demonstrating our commitment in many ways. By empowering patients to have more personal control over their healthcare, they have more power over their health.

What’s Next, and How Can I Learn More?

If you want to to learn more about Power to the Patient and all the ways we will be celebrating and connecting our associates and providers to our brand. We’ve set up an interactive site for associates, WeAreSCLHealth.org, where you can explore the campaign elements, follow our internal and external brand news and access other resources. Over the course of 2018, we’ll be adding new features and information to the site, including a calendar of events, games and other resources, so check in often. We will also be rolling out a revamped brand ambassador program, so stay tuned to learn more about how you can be part of this exciting program.

Understanding the Brand Refresh

October 10, 2017 by PVMC Leave a Comment

What is the Brand Refresh project?

The Brand Refresh project is an evolution, a merging of our system goals and our patient’s desires. We are engaging our associates, providers and our communities in this transformation, so that we create a version of SCL Health that creates satisfaction, preference and loyalty in everyone we serve.

You may be wondering, why are we refreshing the SCL Health brand?

SCL Health is on a mission to transform our system into a truly patient-centered organization through:

New partnerships
New care environments
New ways to access care
Exciting digital and telehealth initiatives

As patient expectations for healthcare continue to evolve, we need to reflect this transformation of our system in how we present ourselves internally and externally.

What does “patient centered” mean to SCL Health:

By the end of the week, our new logo will be live on our website. Here’s a glance at a few of the other system logos too:

Now that you have some insight into the Brand Refresh project, you probably have some questions. Please email any questions you might have about the Brand Refresh to evelyn.wiant@sclhs.net, or leave them as comments here on the ICE.

2018 Benefits Enrollment

October 10, 2017 by PVMC Leave a Comment

Great news! Platte Valley Medical Center associates are now able to join SCL Health medical, dental, wellness and short-term disability plans for 2018. There are two benefits overview meetings scheduled in the conference center for this week:

Tomorrow, Wednesday October 11 from noon to 1 p.m.
Friday, October 13 from 3 – 4 p.m.

Additionally, the annual Benefits Fair is set for Monday, October 23, from 6:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. in the conference center. The Fair is a great time to meet with representatives from the SCL Health Benefits team, and our vendor partners.

Transforming SCL Health: The Work Ahead

October 3, 2017 by PVMC Leave a Comment

Last week we discussed the upcoming system-wide Brand Refresh, and why this change is coming to SCL Health. This week, we’d like to show you the work that is being done to accomplish this refresh. So, what’s new and fresh now?

From a “big picture” perspective, here are our four goals for this refresh:

To simplify our brand so our patients can more easily identify our sum (SCL Health system) and our parts (care sites & services)
To illustrate our regional presence and range of services (acute, non-acute, physicians, virtual health, etc.)
To improve visibility for our physicians practices
To maintain the strong legacy of our care site brands in each community served

The first changes include simplifying over 200 logos within the SCL Health system down to less than 30. This makes us easier to identify, reduces costs and gives us a unified image. With that said, we’re proud to share the first preview of our logo with you today. We can start using this logo as early as next week!

If you want to order some new logo’d items, you can visit the SCL Health Logo store or call Evelyn Wiant at X1481.

Transforming SCL Health for the Future

September 26, 2017 by PVMC Leave a Comment

You may have seen this week’s email from SCL Health System, outlining an exciting new chapter in the story of SCL Health and Platte Valley Medical Center. Together, we are preparing for a “brand refresh,” which is a simple name for a system-wide transformation that will better support the needs and wants of our patients and associates, and highlight our regional healthcare network.

Why is this important?
Our patients are transforming healthcare at a lightning-fast pace. Research shows they are looking for care from a coordinated system, and most would like to receive all of their care from one healthcare brand. Patients see the value in their local doctor or hospital belonging to a larger network, as it gives them easy access to all the healthcare services they may need in a lifetime. Additionally, when receiving care from an integrated system, patients know they can expect the same philosophies of care to be shared throughout, from their doctor’s office to the OR.
Patients want a provider who treats them as a whole person – not just their illness; who empowers them with tools and access to care, and who offers empathy in every interaction.

This “philosophy of care” sounds a lot like Planetree!
Yes, it does! This brand refresh focuses heavily on patient-centered care – how lucky we are at Platte Valley to already be familiar and comfortable with this philosophy. It will be simple for us to continue to make this part of our everyday work. The only difference now is that we have the collective power of SCL Health to guide, shape and energize this mission.
We’re taking exciting steps to build brand awareness, drive patient loyalty and make finding and engaging with us as a system a whole lot easier!

Starting in the coming weeks, and continuing into 2018, we’ll be working to present a simplified, accessible brand image that inspires new and existing patients to select us as their trusted healthcare partner, no matter where they are in their wellness journeys.

Stay tuned to the ICE for more updates. Next week, we will take a deeper look at the next steps we’ll take in this transformative journey, and when you can expect to see these changes taking place. If you have questions, please email them to evelyn.wiant@sclhs.net.

Announcing the Downtime

The eSummit with Epic 2017 Upgrade is scheduled to begin on Saturday, September 9, 2017 at 2030 MT/ 2130 CT and complete on Sunday, September 10, 2017 at 0500 MT/0600 CT.

- Shadow Read-Only (SRO) will be available during the system downtime and recovery period.

Lockdown
We are using the transparent upgrade process to upgrade to Epic 2017. During the “transparent lockdown” period before the system downtime for the upgrade, you’ll notice that you can’t make changes that customize certain aspects of your workflows. This is because the transparent upgrade process is updating related data behind the scenes while you continue to use the system.

The transparent lockdown period will last from Monday, 9/4/2017 at 0600 MT/0700 CT – Sunday, 9/10, 2017 until the upgrade is complete at 0500 MT/ 0600 CT.

Applying filters in workqueues

What to do: If you see an error message when attempting to add or edit a filter, close the error message and continue your workflow. The changes that you made before the error message appeared aren’t applied to your workqueue. Use your workqueues as they’re currently set up and make any needed changes after the upgrade.

Creating or editing SmartPhrases and Smartlinks
During the lockdown, you won’t be able to create new SmartLinks and SmartPhrases or edit your existing ones.

What to do: Type the text that you want to appear instead.

Personalizing dashboards
After you click and update settings or edit the components of a Radar dashboard, an error message appears when you click Accept.

What to do: Close the error message and continue working in Hyperspace. You won’t be able to make your changes until after the upgrade.

Creating, Editing and Sharing Notewriter Macros
If you click attempt to create a macro or save changes to a macro during the lockdown, an error message appears. Additionally, the Owners/Users tab in the SmartBlock Macro Editor is read-only during the lockdown, so you can’t add owners or users for the macro.

What to do: Wait to make your changes, create macros, or share macros until after the upgrade.

Moving your notes
You cannot move the Notes activity to a floating window or sidebar or set other note preferences during the lockdown.

What to do: Wait to move the Notes activity until after the upgrade.

Creating or editing Quick Actions
When you create or edit a QuickAction in In Basket, an error message appears indicating that the QuickAction is locked. Note that there are two different error messages that can appear.

What to do: Wait until after the upgrade to create a new QuickAction. Continue to complete the action as you did previously. If you need to edit a QuickAction before using it again, you might need to complete the action without using the QuickAction until after the upgrade.

Saving SlicerDicer Sessions
When you save a SlicerDicer population or session, an error message appears when you click Save Session, and the session isn’t saved.

What to do: Continue working in SlicerDicer, but be aware that you can’t save your work until after the upgrade.

If you have questions or encounter any issues completing a workflow during the lockdown, contact TAC at 303-866-8282.

World Premiere of Good Sam’s Hand Hygiene Music Video!

August 2, 2017 by PVMC Leave a Comment

Good Samaritan Medical Center has published a wonderful Hand Hygiene Music Video on Facebook, YouTube and Twitter! And, perhaps coming soon to a theater near you?

To help promote hand hygiene, GSMC filmed a music video starring associates across all departments of the hospital and the vocal talent of three GSMC associates: Tim Smolens, RN, ED; Kate Spencer, RN, OR; and Steve Soller, Customer Care Center Manager. Championed by Kelley Knapek, Infection Prevention, the video features a cover of The Jackson 5’s “ABC” using hand hygiene-themed lyrics.

Stay tuned for the Behind-The-Scenes video, to be released very soon.

PVMC Has Three Innovation Challenge Winners!

July 25, 2017 by PVMC Leave a Comment

Yes, you read that right! Three of the Innovation Challenge winners are Platte Valley employees!

Bianca Schroetlin, Chris Bowlin and Evan Landvik are all winners of the SCL Health Innovation Challenge. Associates across the system submitted nearly 300 ideas as part of SCL Health’s first ever Innovation Challenge, so we are very proud to have not one, but three winners.

Bianca Schroetlin

Chris Bowlin

Evan Landvik

Bianca’s project is to “harness the power of video emails and nurse phone follow-up to reduce hospital readmissions by enhancing patient aftercare through: connection, education, understanding and adherence.” Essentially, with the support of educational videos and follow-up, this project aims to increase the likelihood of patients adhering to discharge instructions and improve their recovery.

Chris’ project also centers around reducing readmissions, specifically of patients suffering from COPD. This project would provide COPD patients with a non-invasive ventilation device to take home after being discharged. Patients who use the device would be able to avoid exacerbating their COPD, and prevent future visits to the ED with escalated symptoms. In the long term, this project hopes to decrease the amount of time a COPD patient is admitted to the hospital, and improve their overall quality of life.

Evan’s project seeks to create a multi-agency care plan on a shared digital platform. If you’re thinking this isn’t a new concept, you may be right, but Evan’s idea takes this concept a step further than what’s currently available. “What is unique about this idea,” reads the project proposal, “is that it creates a common plan for multiple, otherwise-unaffiliated agencies to reference, document and share information with each other.”

All of the Innovation Challenge winners will receive $1000 plus the funding needed to put their projects into motion. If you see them out and about, please take a moment to congratulate Bianca, Chris and Evan, and wish good luck on their new ventures! Thanks for making Platte Valley so very PVMC Proud!
