Like breath, we learn from the moment we are born to the moment we die.   Each moment a mystery to be solved, a question to be answered.  We work constantly to replace random chance with rules of thumb.  Life demands understanding.  Change, also like breath, begins inwardly and finishes outwardly.  Breath in, Breath out.  Breathe in good processes, good personnel, good technologies to support them both.  Breathe out improved clinical outcomes for patients, operational outcomes for the enterprise, and financial outcomes for the community.      Welcome to STEPS to Value, a podcast that explores the intersection of people, processes & technology in healthcare as the industry moves towards a value-focused model.  In today’s episode, we will talk to 2016 Davies Award winning Children’s Hospital of Orange County.  We discuss how they were able to optimize the people, processes and technologies tasked to care daily for 1 in 100 kids in the United States. This Episode’s Guests:James Cappon, MDChief Quality OfficerCHOC Children's HospitalCaroline Steele, MS, RD, CSP, IBCLCDirector, Clinical Nutrition & LactationChildren's Hospital of Orange CountyLearn more about JimLearn more about CarolineLearn more about CHOC Children's Hospital This Episode's Promo: The Long-Term and Post-Acute Care (LTPAC) Roundtable helps shape the direction of HIMSS in serving the needs of LTPAC providers and vendors.
