Description
On today’s episode, we’re going to talk about how top leadership in healthcare is responding to the COVID-19 pandemic with our guest, Bert Reese, the former CIO of Sentara Healthcare, an integrated health system in Virginia and North Carolina.
Bert oversaw the implementation of Sentara’s enterprise health record, Epic, achieved HIMSS analytics stage seven, and continues to advise some of the nation’s top health systems through his independent consulting firm in Divurgent today.
As healthcare CXOs shift their mindset from responding to the immediate COVID-19 situation to recovering, we’re seeing new business models unfold as consumer behavior changes, expectations for safety increase across employees, and patients and businesses adjust strategies. Join us as we dig into the specifics on how this pandemic has and continues to impact healthcare.
Divurgent is a full-service, healthcare-focused/HIT consulting firm led by people you actually want to work with. We’re one of the only firms out there that has your back for the whole journey. We can help you select an EHR or tool, implement it, staff it, bring you live, optimize it, and more. Three-hundred sixty degrees. Most of our focus is on EHRs, but we do much more than that. We think beyond the system and below the surface. Think workflow, digital strategy, operational readiness, change management and more. We’re most excited by helping you solve your most complex challenges.
We Attract, Develop, and Retain Top Talent | Our team has been in your shoes. Our consultants have worked within health systems, across all levels, so we bring operational and clinical expertise to every role. We have experts in EHR implementation, analytics, digital strategy, project management, managed services, and more, and we can rapidly source talent that fits our client’s project and culture.
Our Methodology is Proven | Our methodology considers operational realities, health system structural dynamics, and change management to present tailored solutions that are data-driven, scalable, and primed for adoption. And it’s future-focused: we design based on where your organization is going, not where it is today.
We Do What’s Right and Can Do It Quickly | Since 2007, we’ve been privately-owned, healthcare-focused, and driven foremost by commitment to our clients. This independence allows us to be agile – team members are empowered to make critical decisions in real-time – and flexible. Our relationships are much greater than the value of our contracts.
