In this podcast, we talk with our special guest Cory Jenks about creating a better healthcare culture through improv. Cory earned his doctor of pharmacy degree from the University of South Carolina in 2011.

He currently practices as an Ambulatory Care Clinical Pharmacy Specialist, where he applies his passion for lifestyle interventions in the management of chronic disease.

During the pandemic, Chuck crossed the country, providing federal relief to hospitals that were overwhelmed by patient load or strained due to staffing crises.

Now, working as a professional development instructor, Chuck mentors new grad RNs in their first year of practice. He developed the UnstoppableRN program to give new grads the skills they need not just to survive but to thrive in their first year of practice and build a strong foundation for their careers. The UnstoppableRN brand includes its signature cruise for nurses.

Price transparency has pushed hospitals to publish detailed information about what they charge for their services, including providing good faith estimates to patients. This initiative is a step forward in the effort to make healthcare costs more transparent and accessible for patients, but it may have value for rural hospitals beyond that. So, how do rural hospitals provide accurate prices to the public, while utilizing price transparency data to their advantage? On today’s episode, hosts JJ and Rachel talk with Martie Ross & Kathy Reep of PYA to discuss price transparency data and how to benefit from it.

In this podcast, we talk about the importance of being your future self now in becoming a Thriving, Resilient, and Unstoppable (TRU) healthcare leader. You may or may not know that stepping into the identity of the person who has achieved the desired outcome is something we have been living with for quite some time. But there were a few years where the results we desired weren't coming to fruition, and it was when we learned that we were using backward thinking that things began to change for us. In fact, this concept is not new to us, and we’ve done this in our business, so we want to reinforce and emphasize its importance in this episode. In this podcast, we talk about the concept of being your future self now and how healthcare leaders can apply it to survive and thrive. We also talk about the three steps for living and creating your future self now and some examples of flipping stories from "Have-Do-Be" to "Be-Do-Have" perspectives.

Around the world, people of all ages and communities report increasing rates of mental and behavioral health illnesses. For those experiencing chronic homelessness, those mental illnesses are often compounded by chronic medical conditions and substance use disorders. Without safe, permanent housing and access to primary care, those experiencing homelessness – and often hopelessness – miss needed care, wind up in emergency departments and jails, and never receive the social services that may be available to them. In this episode, we learn from nurse Ashley Sharma, RN and physician Tim Mercer, MD, MPH, of the Mobile Medical and Mental Health (M3) Team in Austin, Texas about their high-touch approach to caring for people facing the triple threat of chronic homelessness, medical and mental health conditions, and how – in the face of clinicians wearing down from navigating fragmented health systems and departing the workforce – this collaborative, integrated care approach strengthens a sense of purpose and impact for clinicians.

In this podcast, we talk about the importance of leveraging Planning and Executing as healthcare leaders. We know that effective organizational change requires a partnership between leaders and managers. They are both essential in planning a vision for change and executing the necessary actions to bring that vision into reality. In fact, when Planning and Executing polarity is not leveraged, it creates greater tension and can lead to ineffective organizational change, wasted resources, and unsustainable outcomes. In this episode, we talk about the benefits of Planning and Executing and some of the negative consequences if you over-focus on one to the neglect of the other. We also talk about the different early warning signs when you are overemphasizing planning or executing and some actions you can take to ensure that the plan is in place and properly executed.

A common stereotype of aging is an era of decline and shrinking horizons, but the process of aging is far more nuanced. Many find their health and functional trajectories actually widen as they get older. In fact some, like President Joe Biden or pioneering nurse-midwife Ruth Lubic, won’t make their greatest contributions until their later years. Key to staying healthy as we age is maintaining or improving health, which largely falls outside of healthcare facilities. Led by Sarah L. Szanton, PhD, ANP, FAAN, the CAPABLE (Community Aging in Place—Advancing Better Living for Elders) program brings together a nurse, an occupational therapist and a handy worker to address the home environment, while encouraging the strengths of older adults to improve safety, independence, and dignity based on the client’s goals. By installing small, cost effective adaptations to the home environment, older adults can ease the navigation of daily living – bathing, dressing, standing to cook, using stairs – sustaining their physical, mental, and emotional energy and leading to richer lives full of creativity and meaningful contribution.
