With Q4 approaching, I am reminded how quickly time flies and the need to remain laser focused on the end game. The goals and initiatives we started the new year with may fall by the wayside as other priorities take precedent. No matter how well our service delivery model is we must ensure data is top of mind and especially when emergency situations may arise. The analogy “stay ready and you won’t have to get ready”.

I recently received news of my Mom’s doctor passing away unexpectedly. No one saw it coming and he was a respected and revered medical professional in the community he served. This hit hard and with this being a rural community, he will be a tough act to follow. The family is now facing a decision to sell or close the office. Until a decision is made, all patient records (data) can be released to the patient. Although the goal of the practice was to establish a portal for patient access, now the office staff are charged with manually providing patient records and information (paper copies). Imagine having an office where the patients, staff and family that loved and respected this doctor are grieving and having to cope with the aftermath of his passing. Staff may have concerns about job security; family may have concerns about grieving and not being able to focus on making strategic and sound business decisions right now. The doctor was a smart and savvy man, and we can assume he had his affairs for times such as this to protect his family and legacy. This is a disruption that no organization or leader should have to navigate!

This bi-weekly InfoTech Insights will serve as a reminder to us why data should remain top of mind and how planning to protect our family and legacy is crucial.

Is your executive team maximizing tomorrow’s data-driven power or are you navigating the next wave of disruption using last year’s metrics and intuition?
