Welcome

Welcome to the OneWorld Herald blog, the electronic counterpart to the OneWorld staff newsletter. If you are reading this then you must be at least a little bit interested in keeping up with the events at OneWorld. The purpose of this blog is to be able to share information about what is going on at OW in a manner that people can choose to read if they are interested. My writing style will be informal as I hope to spend time sharing thoughts but not a lot of time composing them in a formal memo, email, or newsletter article.

The idea for this blog came to me on my drive home tonight from the Cheesecake Factory where I had dinner with Sara C., Marcos, and Elva. We were belatedly celebrating the victory by the front desk in the first annual Halloween room decorating contest. Much of our dinner conversation was devoted to the theme for Halloween 2008 and how we will defend our title. Anyway, back to the blog idea. I was driving home (1 hour) and mulling over a conversation that I had with Andrea earlier in the day re: the fact that we needed to make sure as we embarked on the Electronic Health Record (referred to as EHR for the rest of time) that we keep everyone informed of our progress and that we gather input from as many people as possible during the process.

I hope to keep the general mood of this blog light, to update frequently, to occasionally have some guest contributors, and to create a place where people can keep up with what is going on in our organization.

Thanks for stopping by and please check back often. If you like something you read, have questions, or feedback please let me know. If you have a question about a work item that I discuss here please ask your supervisor or me.
