Have you ever sat down with your grandparents, or other "more seasoned" folk, and talked about the the good old days? If so, chances are they've mentioned how everybody today is "in such a hurry." And it's true. We are in a hurry. We're resource challenged without enough time to achieve the results that our stakeholders desire - if not demand.

As we all rush to figure out population health and value-based care, IT departments can easily get into the trap of just "working down the list of requests." At least we're getting things done, right?

But the question is, "Are we getting the right things done?"

Holly Landowski, one of Nordic's strategic advisors, recently sat down with John Pollard, part of the Nordic marketing team, to talk about how she prefers a more "old-school" approach to processing population health requests. Holly's methodology calls for a little more understanding, a little more time spent upfront, and some quick wins along the way. Give the podcast below a listen to see whether Holly's approach may help you more effectively process the population health requests hitting your IT department.
