St. Paul, MN – The Minneapolis Star Tribune has named IC System one of Minnesota’s Top 200 Workplaces. Minnesota employees were surveyed about their employers, and 200 businesses across the state were selected. A complete list of the businesses is available in the Star Tribune and appeared in the newspaper’s Top Workplaces special section on Sunday, June 19.

The Star Tribune’s Top Workplaces award acknowledges the most progressive companies in Minnesota based on employee opinions measuring engagement, organizational health, and satisfaction. The analysis included responses from thousands of employees at Minnesota businesses, including public, private, and nonprofit organizations.

“Having IC System listed among the Star Tribune’s Top 200 Workplaces is such an honor,” said John Erickson, President and CEO. “We’re in the third generation of family ownership at IC System, so I’m happy to carry on my family’s tradition of giving people a place where they enjoy working. As a result, our employees tend to feel like they’re part of a family.”

John continued, “It makes me proud to know we’ve created a working environment where employees feel engaged and enjoy working here. Whether employees work remotely or at the office, we want them to feel part of the IC System culture.”

The surveys to compile the rankings of the Star Tribune Top 200 Workplaces are collected by Energage, an independent organization specializing in employee engagement and retention.

To qualify for the Star Tribune Top Workplaces, a company must have more than 50 employees in Minnesota. Thousands of companies were invited to participate. The rankings were based on composite scores calculated based on employee responses.

IC System ranked 42nd in the midsize business category. The Star Tribune also named IC System a Top Workplace in 2017; a Top 150 Workplace in 2018, 2019, and 2020; and a Top 175 Workplace in 2021.

“Our focus at IC System is people,” said Joe Erickson, Director of Human Resources. “‘People’ is our number one Core Value. Everything else is secondary. Our business focuses on employees, clients, and consumers by treating people with the dignity and respect they deserve. When you do that, everything else about the business falls into place. That’s our philosophy, and I think the Top Workplace recognition shows that our approach is working and employees above all have great experiences with IC System.”

Health systems are partnering up without changing who owns the hospital

Health systems are partnering up without changing who owns the hospital

Health systems are choosing alliances over mergers, per a July McDermott Will & Schulte analysis and four July deals tracked by Becker's Hospital Review. St. Christopher's, Nemours, Jefferson and Temple signed a nonbinding alliance letter; Palomar UC San Diego Health launched July 1. Ownership stays put; governance, purchasing and outpatient investment absorb the change.

  • 01In an alliance, the contract does the integrating that an org chart does in a merger: McDermott Will & Schulte says governance design, exclusivity, antitrust review, community commitments and exit rights all have to be settled before signing.
  • 02Purchasing is now explicitly on the table in at least one no-ownership deal, the St. Peter's Health and Billings Clinic-Logan Health talks in Montana, which means shared supply contracts can arrive without a change of control.

Telemedicine in eye care stops at the retinal scan unless imaging moves home

Telemedicine in eye care stops at the retinal scan unless imaging moves home

An Ophthalmology Times commentary by T.Y. Alvin Liu, Ferdinand Hui and Phillip Phan sorts eye patients into three telemedicine tiers by clinical need. Patients needing regular OCT scans benefit less unless a home device can send the image. Video tools already sit inside Epic and Cerner; the deciding purchase for retina clinics is the imaging device in the patient's living room.

  • 01The dividing line for eye telemedicine is imaging, not video: patients who need regular OCT scans benefit less from remote visits unless a device at home can send the scan, so a video license alone shifts few of those encounters.
  • 02The provider-side requirement, a HIPAA-compliant secured video platform, was already built into Epic and Cerner by 2020; the patient-side requirements (1.5 MB up and down bandwidth, a quiet private room, comfort with the technology) sit outside the health system's control and are the ones worth screening for at scheduling.
  • 03Self-administered home color fundus photography for tracking non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy was named as the nearer route into retina telemedicine; home OCT for wet AMD is the harder gate and the device to watch.

Value-based care reaches a quarter of revenue at 30% of surveyed health organizations

Value-based care reaches a quarter of revenue at 30% of surveyed health organizations

Wolters Kluwer Health argues value-based care software is judged on whether customers hit incentive thresholds and avoid penalties. A Fierce Healthcare-reported survey it cites puts value-based care at a quarter or more of revenue for 30% of organizations. The analysis is a vendor publication that ends by pitching its own UpToDate Connect API.

  • 01The sharper question for any population health or care coordination platform is whether it changes what a clinician does at the moment of decision, or only reports afterward what happened. Wolters Kluwer's reading of the evidence is that many platforms still struggle with the first.
  • 02Vendors selling into value-based contracts now face a build-or-license decision on clinical content, because Wolters Kluwer names current, trusted content, consistent clinician adoption across sites, and a traceable link from guidance to quality metrics as the three hard problems.
