November 13, 2019 Insights: ‘OK Boomer,’ It’s Time to Embrace Your Millennial and Gen Z Coworkers
In this episode of the MGMA Insights podcast, we’re joined by M.J. Clark, an author, senior consultant and executive coach serving healthcare and energy professionals.

There are generational differences in the workplace, and the term "Ok Boomer" has gone viral on social media platforms, with mostly negative connotations.

October 30, 2019 Insights: Disaster Planning Crucial for Medical Practices in Path of Destruction
In this episode of the MGMA Insights podcast, we’re joined by Bob Bush, Vice President of Business Development & Physician Services at the University of Kansas Health System St. Francis Campus. Just over a year removed from helping Panama City’s Bay Medical Sacred Heart through the devastation of Hurricane Michael, Bush is well-versed in disaster management. He sat down with podcast host Daniel Williams during MGMA’s 2019 Annual Conference in New Orleans to share his insights on preparing and executing a disaster plan.
Don’t quite have time to listen to the entire episode? No worries. We’ve compiled a handful of highlights from Bush’s interview for your convenience:
• (3:38) “A disaster could be a snowstorm. It could be a rain. It could be a tornado. It could be a hurricane. Could be earthquakes. But it also could be something more like all of a sudden you lose connectivity to your hard drive, so you lose all your patient charts or you have a fire or there’s a flood … so, disasters, it could be a lot of different things for a lot of different situations. But the thing that you have to continue to look at is what can you do to be preparing for those things and how do you minimize the impact on your practice when those disasters happen?”
• (19:50) “We couldn’t get tied up with the emotional distraught of what was going around us. We had a job to do. We had to take care of our patients. We had to get them out of the facility safely. We had to take care of the other people in our facility. And that was our focus.”

October 16, 2019 Insights: Emotional Intelligence Essential to Effective Healthcare Leadership
In this episode of MGMA Insights, we’re joined by Laurie Baedke, Director of Healthcare Leadership at Creighton University. Baedke is an author, speaker, educator, mentor, and expert on emotional intelligence and leadership development, among other topics.
Don’t quite have time to listen to the entire episode? No worries. We’ve compiled a handful of highlights from Baedke’s interview for your convenience:
• (9:17) “There are so many opportunities to serve and lead — and if you’re a non-clinician leader, if you’re a clinician leader, if you’re a physician leader who’s listening to this and you’re feeling called to lead, but you don’t know because you don’t feel like you look like anyone else that you see leading, my call to action to you is to really look internal first and assess what drives you, what motivates you, what work do you feel most called toward.”
• (16:46) “In leadership, we know that one of the leader’s jobs is that we can’t do each of the individual functions, but to set the expectation, to cast the vision, to be able to help to set a culture and then reinforce it, that’s not just something you do once a year or once when someone joins your team and then you never do it again … it is something that has to be reinforced and consistently visited.”
