The Medical Center of Central Georgia Receives National Leadership Award From VHA Inc.

Award Recognizes Excellence in Supply Chain Management Improvement

Macon, Georgia (May 1, 2006)¯VHA Inc., a national health care alliance based in Irving, Texas, has recognized The Medical Center of Central Georgia (MCCG) for its excellence in supply chain management improvement. MCCG is one of only 23 VHA member hospitals nationwide to receive the 2006 VHA Leadership Award for Supply Chain Management Improvement. The hospital will receive the award May 21, 2006, at VHA’s Leadership Conference in St. Louis, Mo.

"This award validates the dedicated focus of our supply chain team to improve purchasing processes and distributing and managing the materials and products we need to take care of patients and run our hospital," said Don Faulk, president and CEO of MCCG. "Supplies are the second largest expense category for hospitals-behind salaries-so controlling these costs enhances our ability to hire more staff and provide better patient care."

The award is being presented for efforts related to standardization programs that saved the hospital over $3,000,000. This initiative has significantly improved the efficiency and effectiveness of the hospital’s supply chain program.

The VHA Leadership Award for Supply Chain Management Improvement encompasses a variety of areas including: product selection; contracting/sourcing; procurement; standardization; distribution and logistics; inventory management; and product utilization. Hospitals’ supply chain programs are evaluated on criteria such as their ability to make superior product selection decisions, use of technology assessment teams, focus on patient safety and how well they incorporate strategies such as standardization and efforts to use supplies more effectively.

SUCCESS IS A MATTER OF EXPECTATION

Sunday, September 11, 2005

You must first expect to succeed if you want to succeed.When you expect good things to happen,strangely enough, they will happen.
Your expectation energizes your goals and gives them momentum.Since your life will always respond to your outlook, set your goals high.
The dreams you choose to believe in will come to be.You can't expect to succeed beyond your wildest expectationsunless you begin with some pretty wild expectations.

Who's Packing your Parachute?

Charles Plumb was a US Navy jet pilot in Vietnam. After 75 combat missions, his plane was destroyed by a surface-to-air missile.

Plumb ejected and parachuted into enemy hands. He was captured and spent 6 years in a communist Vietnamese prison. He survived the ordeal and now lectures on lessons learned from that experience!

You flew jet fighters in Vietnam from the aircraft carrier Kitty Hawk

You were shot down!"

"How in the world did you know that?" asked Plumb.

"I packed your parachute," the man replied. Plumb gasped in surprise and gratitude. The man pumped his hand and said, "I guess it worked !"

Plumb assured him, "It sure did. If your chute hadn't worked, I wouldn't be here today."

Plumb couldn't sleep that night, thinking aboutthat man. Plumb says, "I kept wondering what he had looked like in a Navy uniform: a white hat; a bib in the back; and bell-bottom trousers.

I wonder how many times I might have seen him and not even said 'Good morning, how are you?' or anything because,you see, I was a fighter pilot and he was just a sailor.

Plumb thought of the many hours the sailor had spent at a long wooden table in the bowels of the ship, carefully weaving the shrouds and folding the silks of each chute, holding in his hands each time the fate of someone he didn't know.

Now, Plumb asks his audience, "Who's packing your parachute?"

Everyone has someone who provides what they need to make it through the day. He also pointsout that he needed many kinds of parachutes when his plane was shot down over enemy territory - he needed his physical parachute, his mental parachute, his emotional parachute, and his spiritual parachute. He called on all these supports before reaching safety.

Sometimes in the daily challenges that life gives us, we miss what is really important. We may fail to say hello, please, or thank you, congratulate someone on something wonderful that has happened to them, give a compliment, or just do something nice for no reason. As you go through this week, this month, this year, recognize people who pack your parachutes.
Thank you for your part in packing our parachute. And I hope you will send it on to those who have helped pack yours!Sometimes, we wonder why friends keep for-warding jokesto us without writing a word. Maybe this could explain it:When you are very busy, but still want to keep in touch, guess what you do -you forward jokes. And to let you know that you are still remembered, you are still important, you are still loved, you are still cared for, guess what you get?

A forwarded joke.

So my friend, next time when you get a joke, don't think that you've been sent just another forwarded joke, but that you've been thought of today and your friend on the other end of your computer wanted to send you a smile, just helping you pack your parachute.
