Phoebe Putney’s MEDITECH Expanse Go-Live and Efforts to Address the Nursing Shortage and Physician Satisfaction

At the recent MEDITECH Live conference, I had a chance to meet hundreds of members of the MEDITECH community and hear from many of the top executives.  In case you missed it, be sure to check out my summary of some of the key insights at MEDITECH Live.  There’s always a lot to take in at a user conference, but the best part is to hear the firsthand experiences from the healthcare leaders attending the conference.

Two leaders who stood out to me at the conference were Mike Elder, CIO and Vice President, and Kelsey Reed, DNP, MHA, MSN, FNPC, Director, Patient Care at Phoebe Putney Health System.  I sat down with them to learn more about Phoebe Putney and their work implementing MEDITECH Expanse at their organization.  They shared details of their implementation experience and the benefits they are receiving from the upgrade.  It was particularly great to hear the nurse perspective from Reed.

Along with learning about their Expanse EHR go-live, Elder and Reed also talked about the opening of their Living and Learning Center.  The Phoeby Putney leadership team saw the need to really recruit and train the next generation of nurses which led to the creation of the center.  In our video interview, they both talk about this effort and some of the unique ways they are working to make sure nurses are happy at their organization and how they are working to address the overall nursing shortage.

Along with their work to support their nurses, Elder also shared how they’re working to improve physician satisfaction.  We all know the burnout physicians face and so it’s great that the team at Phoebe Putney is focused on physicians as well as nurses.  As we wrap up the interivew, Elder and Reed share with us some of what’s next for Phoebe Putney.
