Thanksgiving Message

Bill Russell 00:00:03 Today in health, it no new show. Bill Russell 00:00:04 This is a reminder that we're taking off during the week of Thanksgiving. Bill Russell 00:00:07 We're going to be back next week, Bill Russell 00:00:09 But since I have you here, I want to do a few housekeeping items. Bill Russell 00:00:12 My name is bill Russell. Bill Russell 00:00:13 I'm a former CIO for a 16 hospital system and creator of this week in health. Bill Russell 00:00:17 It. Bill Russell 00:00:17 A channel dedicated to keeping health it staff current and engaged. Bill Russell 00:00:22 We've done 237 shows this year and we will likely end up doing around Bill Russell 00:00:26 245 shows for the entire year. Bill Russell 00:00:29 With an average show length of about 10 minutes. Bill Russell 00:00:31 This represents 2,450 minutes. Bill Russell 00:00:34 Of health, it related content and some 220 new stories. Bill Russell 00:00:39 And about 25 interviews. Bill Russell 00:00:42 This is far and away. Bill Russell 00:00:43 The hardest thing that I do, probably because of its Bill Russell 00:00:45 consistency and creative energy. Bill Russell 00:00:48 It's not really the time I do things that take a lot more time, but it's Bill Russell 00:00:52 probably the daily aspect of it. Bill Russell 00:00:54 If I thought about it. Bill Russell 00:00:55 This show is extremely valuable for me, for two reasons. Bill Russell 00:00:58 By helping you to stay current on topics that will impact health. Bill Russell 00:01:02 It, I stay current on topics that will impact health. Bill Russell 00:01:04 It, Bill Russell 00:01:05 It makes me a more valuable host consultant and coach. Bill Russell 00:01:09 And my hope is that it helps you in the same way. Bill Russell 00:01:12 All right. Bill Russell 00:01:12 Here's the schedule through the end of the year? Bill Russell 00:01:14 No shows this week, the week of Thanksgiving, Bill Russell 00:01:16 except this show to remind you that there are no shows this week. Bill Russell 00:01:20 I will come back next week and do one week of shows. Bill Russell 00:01:23 And then we're off through the end of the year, starting back up again in January. Bill Russell 00:01:28 We have a bunch of fun shows through the end of this year on our other Bill Russell 00:01:31 channel this week in health, it, we have a few end of the year shows. Bill Russell 00:01:35 I just recorded a show. Bill Russell 00:01:37 With half of my advisors on the most impactful events of 2021. Bill Russell 00:01:42 I'm going to be recording another one of those shows with the other Bill Russell 00:01:45 half of my advisors, we just couldn't get everybody on the same date. Bill Russell 00:01:48 And Bill Russell 00:01:49 we also have a show with the most interesting stories from news day, Bill Russell 00:01:52 which was compiled by my team. Bill Russell 00:01:55 They of course have to listen to every episode. Bill Russell 00:01:57 So I asked them to choose the stories that they feel are the most impactful. Bill Russell 00:02:01 Hopefully next year we'll have some sort of voting process for you to Bill Russell 00:02:04 choose the stories., we will see what we can pull together for next year, Bill Russell 00:02:07 but suffice it to say you won't be without content to keep you current in Bill Russell 00:02:11 health it through the end of this year. Bill Russell 00:02:13 All right. Bill Russell 00:02:14 One last thing. Bill Russell 00:02:15 I wanted to share an exciting announcement for this week in health. Bill Russell 00:02:18 It starting in 2022. Bill Russell 00:02:21 We're going to be launching two new podcast channels to bring our Bill Russell 00:02:24 community more specialized content. Bill Russell 00:02:26 And it's content that's very specific to your needs. Bill Russell 00:02:30 Our channel will now include our news channel, which is this channel Bill Russell 00:02:34 that you're listening to, but we're also going to take the news day Bill Russell 00:02:36 show and drop it into this channel. Bill Russell 00:02:38 We're going to have a new channel called community. Bill Russell 00:02:41 A channel called academy. Bill Russell 00:02:43 And a channel called conference. Bill Russell 00:02:45 Let me give you an idea of what that's gonna look like. Bill Russell 00:02:49 We will have four different channels on iTunes and Google play and the rest Bill Russell 00:02:55 that you can subscribe to and each one will have a specific feel to it. Bill Russell 00:02:59 The news channel obviously is this one, and it's about staying Bill Russell 00:03:02 up to date on what's going on. Bill Russell 00:03:03 It'll include these shows where I talk about a specific news story. Bill Russell 00:03:08 It will also include the news day show. Bill Russell 00:03:10 Where we have about an hour. Bill Russell 00:03:12 Where I have other people on the show and we talk about what's going on to the news. Bill Russell 00:03:15 So you get different perspectives on the news. Bill Russell 00:03:18 The community channel is something I'm really excited about. Bill Russell 00:03:21 We have invited guest hosts to come on and record with people from their network. Bill Russell 00:03:27 And our hope there is to get deeper into the topics that are top of mind for you. Bill Russell 00:03:32 Security, clinical informatics data, AI digital, you name it. Bill Russell 00:03:37 But it's not only going to be me. Bill Russell 00:03:38 It's primarily going to be guests hosts and we've already started Bill Russell 00:03:41 those invitations and we have a couple of people lined up.

Bill Russell 00:03:55 This is really what we consider to be it university. Bill Russell 00:03:58 This is where you have somebody coming on board and you want to Bill Russell 00:04:01 ramp them up as quickly as possible. Bill Russell 00:04:04 We are going to take excerpts from our show over the last five years. Bill Russell 00:04:08 The highlights and we are going to put out three shows a week Bill Russell 00:04:11 in what we call the insights. Bill Russell 00:04:13 Show within the academy channel.

Bill Russell 00:04:23 Highlights from our shows over the last five years. Bill Russell 00:04:25 If you have somebody who's new to health, it, somebody who's looking Bill Russell 00:04:28 to come up to speed somebody who's who you're looking to develop and Bill Russell 00:04:31 train and those kinds of things. Bill Russell 00:04:32 This is a great channel for them. Bill Russell 00:04:34 They're about 10 minutes long each. Bill Russell 00:04:36 And a again, highlights from our show. Bill Russell 00:04:38 So we've had some amazing guests with great insights. Bill Russell 00:04:42 And we want to bring some of that content back. Bill Russell 00:04:45 Into the consciousness. Bill Russell 00:04:47 For discussion and keep that moving. Bill Russell 00:04:49 And then the conference channel. Bill Russell 00:04:51 A lot of us get on planes.
