Getting More Out Of Outlook
Do you get lost in hundreds or thousands of messages a week? There are so many tricks and tips to make your email easier to handle!
Since tracking messages is a big challenge for a lot of folks I’ve talked with lately, I thought I’d briefly go through how to keep track of all of those little requests (both ones you send and ones you receive) that are so easy to overlook.

According to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), healthcare organizations are failing to keep patient data secure. Security experts outside of HHS underscore that healthcare cybercrime will increase in 2018 because protected health information (PHI) has become a valuable commodity on the dark web.
Think a credit card is more valuable than healthcare information? Think again! The going rate for a healthcare record in 2018 is currently 1200 bucks! That’s more than 100 times more than the worth of a credit card.

Are you ever struggling to figure out why something in your business isn’t quite working right?
Is it taking longer to get work done than you’d like? Is your team frustrated that efforts of improvement aren’t working the way anyone had hoped?
Most businesses face necessary process changes over the course of time because environments change. Customer demand changes. Vendors change their products and services. Team members change. There are too many unpredicted events that could have serious implications on your ability to produce high value products.
Too often, businesses produce work product without even considering their processes. Many core and critical processes go undefined, which leads to an accumulation of waste and diminished value from a customer perspective.
