SubscribeDuring the pandemic I've seen a lot of focus on mental health and mental health programs, which is great. There's so much relation between your mental health and your physical health. If you’re really stressed that's when you don't eat well or might not exercise. What are employers doing to encourage a more active lifestyle for people?

There are quite a few miniature health systems in the Phoenix Metro and Tucson Metro area. And what we found was that we needed to be able to see and integrate and work together. We need to know who has beds when and where, and ventilators and staff. So a big win for us and what made us successful earlier was that our state Health Information Exchange, Health Current, already had ADT interfaces with 95% of the state. And so with Banner Health we have a specific integration with Central Logic for our own bed visibility. But the HIE allowed us to have Central Logic interface with HIE to get the information in and translate into the language that we needed to see the beds.

If we look at what people went through in 2020 and well into 2021, people are exhausted. You come to value and appreciate people in a different way. You come to know and work with them in a different way. There were also many natural disasters on top of the pandemic. I know a CIO in Michigan. They had a huge flood. He had people on his team who lost their homes that were staying with him in his house.
