Dr. Jeffrey Kuo: Ochsner Health has leveraged technology, formed mutually beneficial collaborations with non-health-related businesses in innovative ways, and utilized our greatest asset, our people, to scale our organization as the demands of COVID-19 stretched the healthcare industry beyond sustainability. We have overcome in the face of adversity to fulfill our commitment to our community. Missy McVey: Collaboration, communication and self-care. Early on, our administration did a fantastic job of including all disciplines in planning, solving issues and maintaining practices that are working for us. They have not left any area out of the discussion and are always listening to new ideas. Together, we have been able to solve every issue that has yet to be presented. Communication is always key, and my hat is off to all the great leaders and teammates that continue to keep the communication flowing in all directions. Dr. Katie Passaretti: Many things have been challenging, and many things have gone well during the pandemic. I think our early, in-house access to COVID-19 testing was hugely important for teammates and our community. e tremendous work to maintain PPE supply as best as possible was remarkable. Ultimately, the big- gest source of hope has been the perseverance and strength of our healthcare workers in caring for the patients and doing their best in challenging times to protect our community. What would you like more leadership support on? Jennifer Clutter: is one is tough. I feel like our leadership is responsive to our needs and listens when managers and staff have questions or concerns. Dr. Jeffrey Kuo: Nobody is immune to the negative impact that this pandemic has caused. Although Ochsner Health has done a fantastic job of ensuring our employees are able to practice in a safe environment physically, it is inevitable that our mental well-being is also affected. Our Office of Professional Well-Being has supported us extremely well, and I think there is opportunity to expand these resources to continue to support us. My hope is that COVID-19 is a catalyst for research that leads to further innovative ways to promote employee wellness. Missy McVey: Our leadership is amazing and has shown unwaver- ing support to all of our teams. is has always been the case, and I feel very lucky to be able to work under this administration. ey are always involved, present and approachable. When there are is- sues or support is needed, they are quick to gather a plan and always follow through with a solution. I've never witnessed follow-through from leaders like I have at this workplace. It is outstanding. If I were to choose an area to ask for support, it would be to help in the further development of my team. As we continue to run full speed ahead, it is very hard to find space and time to help enhance and develop our team. We are learning to adapt on a moment's notice, and our adaptation skills, combined with our inherent empathy and scrappiness, are what make us so successful in any environment, and that is no exception today. n
