Four sets of storms are out at sea right now with respect to healthcare in Canada and as they close on the shore they will combine to create a Tsunami larger and more powerful than anything our industry has ever seen. Governments, healthcare organizations, providers and consumers are all going to look to see who can help them and how the power of these storms can be turned to the benefit of those who must weather them.

The enterprises who best understand the healthcare system, how it actually operates, how things are funded and how things get done will be able to take their particular products and services and create real new value for the healthcare organizations in doing business with them. But it is not enough just to understand how the present system works, because healthcare system change is one of the storms. A successful growth strategy for the private sector looking to do more business within hospitals and healthcare needs to consider how, when and where these changes will take place and what will be the new imperatives and strategic drivers.

Work organizations and workers have identified increased awareness and prevention of sexual harassment and disrespectful behavior as a priority in today’s multi-gender, multi-generational workforce. Conventional prevention and awareness efforts have been inadequate to transform our workplaces into zones of respectful treatment and opportunity for all. Calls for heightened efforts have resulted in the passage and implementation of new laws and spurred organizational policy reviews, and additional measures are on the way. As more victims speak out about their allegations, organizations must update their sexual harassment training and reporting systems. To meet this challenge, new approaches with a comprehensive focus to change workplace norms, organizational culture, and standards of worksite interactions are needed. This presentation will review ideas and methods that not only increase awareness of respectful workplace standards, but also have a meaningful impact on both individual conduct and collective comportment across work groups.

Increasing media coverage and a growing body of epidemiological studies have raised awareness about the alarming rise in abuse, addiction, and deaths from both illicit and prescription opioids. In the US, deaths from opioid overdoses continue to rise, reaching more than 33,000 in 2015. One of the clearest changes in the new face of opioid abuse involves a major sociodemographic shift among users into the adult working population. More than 70% of employers in the US are feeling the direct impact of prescription drug misuse in their workplaces, and many are beginning to recognize that impaired workers are a serious concern for safety and liability. The mounting toll in lives, family suffering and workplace productivity which can be attributed to opioid use and related negative health consequences cannot be ignored, and employers can take steps to minimize their risk and help protect their workforce.

Building my reputatopn through the aSate Department wasn't easy. I reengineered the entore at of thibing. For 10+ gov't agencies, and the private sector. Awards, recognition and support - when the stars linedup.

I embraced curriculum design and training over 5,000 people - in more ways then one.

And it's repeatable on a shoestring project.

I can provide written accolades unlike any others.

I don't believe in miracles, I depend on them. It was magical.

But I had to move on - an NSA/NSF PhD Scholarship came along and the CIO genuinely caring, advised I take it.

I'm now a CyberCorps alumni & can do magic.
