Workflow is Key to Managing Healthcare Process

The King of All Workflow

Meet @wareFLO – Chuck Webster, MD… and MSIE, MSIS and workflow evangelist. Sometimes called the “King of all Workflow in Healthcare” (mostly by himself) Chuck is the undisputed champion of workflow process. He has worked with healthcare systems to study, design and implement process improvement through workflow development. Chuck is also a workflow technology expert and helps his clients use business process management software to capture and analyze workflow.

I admit it – I’m a marketing and social media evangelist. As such I have encountered Chuck dozens of times in TweetChats, Blab sessions and throughout the social media spectrum. I know that Chuck has an affinity for social media. I was not going to promise the same about workflow. Our interview ended up being really interesting and I learn a lot – painlessly.

I hope you enjoy the podcast. Give a listen to our conversation or drop into our conversation at the time stamps below.

Healthcare Marketing Podcast – Sharing a Love of Social Media

October 13, 2015 Janet Kennedy 0:46:10 3 Comments

It’s not often I get to have a fellow healthcare marketing podcast host as a guest, primarily because there aren’t very many of us producing podcasts on healthcare and social media. That’s why I was excited to have Jared Johnson, founder of Ultera Digital and the host of “The Health IT Marketer Podcast” come on my podcast to “talk shop.” Before we got started talking about podcasts we had a lively discussion about reaching the first anniversary of his new entrepreneurial venture, Ultera Digital. Jared’s company provides digital marketing services to healthcare practices and hospitals.
