The functions of a Chief Medical Officer tend to remain the same from health care organization to organization because these professionals perform key duties and oversee key programs.
The Health Consumers Council of Western Australia ran Patient Experience Week Events in April 2016. Uniquely these events were consumer driven, and drew together consumers, carers, community and service providers to celebrate and promote the importance of patient experience. It highlights HCC's services and the Recommendations from the Clinical Senate debate run in December 2015 entitled "The Patient Will See You Now - Moving Beyond Accreditation to the Patient Experience"

Talk given by Cem Gürkök, Lead InfoSec Engineer at Salesforce, at DockerCon 16 in June 2016
Customer trust and security is paramount for Salesforce. While containerization is great for DevOps due to flexibility, speed, isolation, transient existence, ease of management and patching, it becomes a challenging environment when the sensitivity level of the data traversing the environment increases. Monitoring systems, applications and network; performing disk, memory and network forensics in case of an incident; and vulnerability detection can easily become daunting tasks in such a volatile environment.
In this presentation we would like to discuss the infrastructure we have built to address these issues and to secure our Docker container platform while we rapidly containerize Salesforce. Our solutions focus on securing the container pipeline, building security into the architecture, monitoring, Docker forensics (disk, memory, network), and automation. We also would like to demonstrate some of our live memory analysis capabilities we leverage to assure container and application integrity during execution.

Talk given by Will Boyd, UX Engineer at Salesforce, at Revolution Conference on May 2016.
What do my pets do when no one is around? I decided to find out. My session will cover how (and then some).
A webcam and some JavaScript using WebRTC is enough to take snapshots, but the trick is finding the snapshots worth saving. I'll share how to write an image diffing algorithm that creates a visual motion heatmap, which can be used to programmatically recognize when a snapshot has caught something happening. The interesting snapshots are then uploaded to Twitter for remote viewing.
Even modestly sized images can contain a lot of data in the form of pixels, so I'll discuss how to lighten the computational load while keeping acceptable accuracy.
I'll also talk about making this work on affordable hardware (Raspberry Pi, cheap Android phones), other potential uses for diffing and motion sensing, and some interesting/spooky issues I came across.
This presentation will introduce National PTA Smart from the Start grant recipients to Head Start. Grantees will partner with local Head Starts to implement the Energy Balance curriculum with parents of preschool aged children.
Patient’s experience, improve the quality health3zsaddique
Putting patients first requires more than world-class clinical care – it requires care that addresses every aspect of a patient’s encounter with Hospital, including the patient’s physical comfort, as well as their educational, emotional, and spiritual needs. A team of professionals should serves as an advisory resource for critical initiatives across the Hospital health system. In addition, it should provide resources and data analytics; identify, support, and publish sustainable best practices; and collaborate with a variety of departments to ensure the consistent delivery of patient-centered care.

S28 September-October 2016/HASTINGS CENTER REPORT
Undisputedly, the United States’ health care sys-
tem is in the midst of unprecedented complexi-
ty and transformation. In 2014 alone there were
well over thirty-five million admissions to hospitals in
the nation,1 indicating that there was an extraordinary
number of very sick and frail people requiring highly
skilled clinicians to manage and coordinate their com-
plex care across multiple care settings. Medical advances
give us the ability to send patients home more efficiently
than ever before and simultaneously create ethical ques-
tions about the balance of benefits and burdens associ-
ated with these advances. New treatments for cancer or
complex heart disease may prolong life until the disease
becomes irreversible while causing significant morbidity
that undermines functional status, independence, and
quality of life in ways that patients find unacceptable.
Some patients and families voice concerns about access
to treatments and about the quality and safety of the care
they or their loved ones receive.
Every day on every shift, nurses at the bedside feel
these pressures and the intense array of ethical issues that
they raise. A staggering 17.5 percent of trained nurses are
leaving their roles or the profession after less than one
year of service,2 and increasing levels of moral distress
and burnout contribute to their decisions.3 Meanwhile,
research supports the common-sense understanding that
patients and health care organizations fare better when
nurses are not harried, are supported in their work en-
vironments, and are able to practice high-quality, ethical
care.
At the same time, administrators, policy-makers, and
regulators struggle to balance commitments to patients,
families, staff members, and governing boards. Health
care organizations are compelled by laws, regulations,
and accrediting bodies to pursue externally reported
measures of effectiveness that can put their mission and
values at risk. While health care systems declare their
commitment to core ethical values, many clinicians
struggle to understand institutional priorities, budgets,
policies, and decisions seemingly inconsistent with their
values as professionals.
Increasingly clinicians find their ability to provide
compassionate care at odds with the intensifying focus
on matters such as clinical pathways aimed at standard-
izing care, cost-cutting efficiencies, electronic medical
records, and hospital policies and procedures.4 Arguably,
each of these have merit in the current system, but what
is not accounted for are the unintended consequences
of diverting attention from the core ethical values of the
professions. For example, the advent of the EMR requires
clinicians to focus on documentation rather than being
fully present during patient encounters. An emphasis on
clinical pathways increases the risk of reducing patient
symptoms and diseases to what fits a rote app.

SERVICES MARKETING BEHAVIOURAL CONSEQUENCES AND PATIENTS’ SATISFACTION TOWARD...IAEME Publication
Relationship marketing is an old idea but a new focus now at the forefront of services marketing practice and academic research. The impetus of its development has come from the maturing of services marketing, with the emphasis on quality, increased recognition of potential benefits for the firm, the customer, and technological advances. Relationship marketing works to attract maintain and enhance client/customer relationship in healthcare provider. Despite the widespread concern in health care literature with patients’ satisfaction there has been neither explicit definition of that concept nor systematic consideration of its determinants and consequences. Patients are becoming increasingly involved in making health care choices as their burden of health costs continue to escalate.

8. Patient Experience – Summary
The patient journey is unique to each person. Every interaction
with patients and their families impacts on their experience.
We must transparently measure the patient experience.
Lessons learnt – through both positive and negative feedback –
can be used to improve health services.
A system-wide definition of a great patient experience should be
developed.
Consumers must be involved in the planning, design and
evaluation of health services.
It is essential to have an organisational culture where staff feel
valued and respected, and patients are treated with dignity and
respect.
This starts with our behaviour and our values.

Compassion is at the forefront of international and national policy, practice and education; this is no different in WA Health (supported by literature, work in NHS, US etc).
In an ever increasing complex health context, often driven and dominated by concerns about outcomes, productivity, efficiency and competence, the importance of compassion and compassion care is paramount.
What is it?
There are many definitions, but simply Compassionate Care is about the way in which people relate to each other.
What is WA Health’s focus?
In caring for the community of Western Australia we know we need to address and support four key areas including:
Compassion for self
workforce is best placed to provide care and has the capability and capacity to do so
Compassion for consumers and their care givers
we have a “consumer first” approach, where the individual is part of the journey and decision making process
Compassion for colleagues
we know there is a direct link between staff well being and the quality and safety of care delivered. To achieve what we need to achieve, we need a high performing team approach.
Compassionate organisations
To attract and retain the best health care professionals, we need a caring and compassionate culture within our organisation and services. This is imperative in supporting our staff to “do the job they do” and meet the mission and values of WA Health.
What are we doing?
Have embedded a number of strategies to support Compassionate Care.
Compassion for self
Appointment of the right people, with the right qualifications and attributes at the right place. Staff who are aware of their emotional intelligence (EI) and their needs for a work-life balance (education available).
Compassion for consumers and their care givers
