 this employee, use them to go over the activities and events of the past week and ask probing questions about what happened. Provide your thoughts and feedback and ask for suggestions or ideas on how things could be done differently or what worked and what didn’t. Offer your own perspective on why things happened how they did. Make it clear that there are no repercussions for criticisms as those thoughts will help you learn and be a better manager too.
Encourage training and professional development courses and activities.
If your company offers professional development opportunities, make sure your employees know they exist and how to access them. Make it clear that this isn’t mandatory but that the company benefits as much as the employee as they gain new skills, bring in new ideas, and learn to think more creatively. These courses are available as an investment in the employees, but if they’re not utilized, no one benefits.
Give them the chance to test the waters.
An employee who feels like management is in their future should have the opportunity to try out their skills before it’s a permanent shift. Let those employees who express interest in moving up test themselves by running a team or leading a project, with a group of their peers assigned to follow their instructions. Make it clear that you’re available for assistance and guidance, but they’re running the show. No one is an expert or skilled leader on the first day, but small chances to practice those skills and utilize those tools will make for an effective manager one day.
While it might be difficult to get behind an employee who clearly wants to move up in their career, know that their success as a leader will also reflect well on you and your leadership and managerial skills. Set a good example and teach them to fly!

I'd absolutely love for Walmart to lose my business, but they're by far the cheapest option. Delivery is $99 a year, and I'm not interested in going inside the store or waiting in the parking lot. 

Walmart literally delivered my groceries to some random house last night, and I had to buy my groceries all over again to get them delivered today (and pay a second time, while I wait "up to 10 days" for a refund. I'm still not switching.Emergency physicians offer suggestions for seniors to reduce illness or injury risks, and how to plan ahead to make an ER visit, if you need one, a little less stressful.
Take steps to protect your health. Exercise, take vitamins and maintain a healthy diet. Keep your prescriptions current and don’t skip those annual check-ups.
Reduce risk of falling. Falls account for up to 30 percent of emergency visits among seniors. Fortunately, many falls can be prevented. Wear comfortable shoes, fall-proof your home, know the fall-related risks of certain illnesses. For example, Parkinson’s Alzheimer’s or stroke could each lead to an unbalanced gait, dizziness, weakness or nausea, any of which could cause a fall. Have a plan in case you do fall; know who to call, whether it’s 9-1-1, a relative or friend. Consider wearing a medical alert device that can call automatically in the event of an emergency.
Prepare for an emergency. Write down your health history and keep it in an accessible place. This should include medications or vitamins that you take, allergies, physician contact information, copies of recent relevant medical tests, such as an electrocardiogram or EKG.

Can You Give Us an Overview of NMC’s Budget Presentation?
Yes. On Tuesday, August 22, NMC is presenting our proposed Fiscal Year 2018 (FY’18) budget to the Green Mountain Care Board (GMCB) which regulates our healthcare system. For the past seven years, NMC has requested rate increases at or below the state average, including four years where we have been lowest in the state. Two years ago, we proposed reducing rates and were approved to lower our rates by 8%. Last year, largely in recognition that bad debt and free care were increasing in our community, we requested a 2.9% rate increase – which was denied and we were approved for a 0% rate increase. With this history of low rate increases, the State’s Act 53 comparative data shows that NMC is consistently below the Vermont average in the prices we charge. That is an intentional position for NMC, as we understand the challenge of high healthcare costs. Our team works on a daily basis to reduce duplication, improve productivity, and increase efficiency to help remove costs from the system. Even with that, given a number of impactful external factors, NMC is requesting a 6% rate increase for FY’18.
NMC is actually absorbing a portion of the financial impact of the following external factors which are drivers of the need for our requested rate increase. The change in bad debt and free care which we had forecast last year came true, now amounts to more than $2 million, and alone would require a 4.31% rate increase to cover. General inflation would require a 1.88% increase. The necessary investment in the State’s transition to Population Health amounts to 1.5%. Looming Federal cuts to Medicare Low Volume Adjustments would be another 1.08%. The State’s 26% cut to Disproportionate Share payments to hospitals add 0.94% to hospital rates. Together, the financial impact of those factors alone would require a 9.71% rate increase – and NMC is requesting less than two thirds of that. Recently, we received a social media question about the impact of construction on our rates and explained that through years of prudent savings, strong community support, and efficiency achieved by the new spaces, NMC’s current construction is not the driving factor behind our need for a rate increase.
As a benefit to our community to improve population health, NMC invests more than $2 million a year in aspects of primary care, care coordination, secondary prevention, and primary prevention (including RiseVT) that are not reimbursed for within the fee-for-service medical system. NMC funds these because they are what our community needs.
To sum all of this up for the GMCB, we make the point that only through partnership can Vermont transform our healthcare system. NMC has shown itself to be a leading and effective partner with the State in this through our work on efficiency, our investments in prevention, and our active presence in the risk-taking population health pilots. We are not alone – the price increases for Vermont’s hospitals as a whole in the last two years are the lowest in 17 years. NMC needs the budgetary latitude from GMCB to continue our enable our leading role and our investments in the challenging work of transforming Vermont’s system from fee-for-service to population health.
At our hearing with GMCB on August 22, we will discuss these points and answer their questions. I am so pleased to work with such a dedicated team at NMC and I hope our shared vision, energy, and progress in northwestern Vermont to move our system forward shines through in our presentation. The Green Mountain Care Board will then deliberate on all the hospitals’ budget proposals and make their rulings in September.In 2012 Molly Entered the Twitterverse. A Brief Recap in Tweets.
I am still a twitter newbie. It wasn’t too long ago that I had to google “RT” to see what the abbreviation stood for (retweet, in case you, like me, are new to this world). I am still very inconsistent, and will sometimes go for days or weeks without using twitter AT ALL.
I was planning to look back over 2012 to see which of my tweets were “favorited” or “retweeted” the most… but I (just now) discovered that my history only goes back 6 months. So, instead, here are some of my own personal favorites.
