There has been a breach of the Desimone Levee on the Green River, and the Orillia area of Tukwila, Renton, and Kent are now under a GO NOW evacuation notice. Leave immediately if you are in this area. Valley is closing the Time Square Clinic due to the flood warning. Impacted patients will be contacted to reschedule appointments. Please be safe, do not drive or walk through standing water, and call 911 if you need emergency evacuation assistance.

Communications to Medical Staff and Clinicians

5/10/2024
Author: Shahina Banthanavasi, MD, Chief Medical Officer, and William Park, MD, Chief Ambulatory Officer

 

We're excited to introduce changes to our communications to physicians and advanced practice practitioners. With input from many of you, we’re implementing some changes:

•    Reduced email volume to decrease the number of emails you receive

•    Targeted messaging to specific specialty groups or departments when applicable, eliminating inapplicable mass emails

•    Differentiating urgent emails to quickly identify announcements requiring immediate attention

This month, you'll notice the first major change: the transformation of STAT News into the Clinician Newsletter. The new name reflects the content to be timely, yet non-urgent updates. Also, you can expect to see a monthly message from clinician leadership in each issue, starting with this one.

There are some other changes, including other types of email messages you’ll now see in your inbox. Most importantly will be a Clinician Alert email to highlight information that we feel is time sensitive and critical. The Medical Staff office will continue to send pertinent information related to medical staff business, under the new header Medical Staff Updates. The three most common email categories are described below.
