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: 00:03:44

If you think you would be good for that, please let me know

Bill Russell: 00:03:48

bill@thisweekathealthit.com.

Bill Russell: 00:03:50

All right.

Bill Russell: 00:03:50

So that's the community channel and we are looking forward to that.

Bill Russell: 00:03:52

That's gonna be fun.

Bill Russell: 00:03:53

The academy channel.

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: 00:04:15

There will be other shows within that education sphere, the academy sphere.

Bill Russell: 00:04:20

But we're starting with a show called insights, three episodes a week.

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.

Bill Russell: 00:04:52

We travel thousands of miles to go to a conference, to

Bill Russell: 00:04:56

interact with people, to hear.

Bill Russell: 00:04:57

Keynote speakers.

Bill Russell: 00:04:59

To learn about new products and those kinds of things.

Bill Russell: 00:05:01

That's what the conference channel is going to be about.

Bill Russell: 00:05:03

We're going to do those long form interviews.

Bill Russell: 00:05:04

We're going to call that show keynote, moving forward.

Bill Russell: 00:05:07

We have solution showcases where we highlight the products that are

Bill Russell: 00:05:11

interesting and coming forward.

Bill Russell: 00:05:13

We're also going to have briefing campaigns on specific topics

Bill Russell: 00:05:15

and those kinds of things.

Bill Russell: 00:05:17

So that is what we're going to be doing next year for channels.

Bill Russell: 00:05:21

For this week in health, it.

Bill Russell: 00:05:24

And we are very excited about it.

Bill Russell: 00:05:25
