It was amazing to see how all the planning and collaboration done by the All-Hands Plan-
ning Committee and Speakers brought forth an amazing All Hands IS Meeting this
year. We had envisioned a meeting in which topics such as Enterprise Interoperability
and Supporting Partnerships, IT Human Resources and Epic Optimization, could be pre-
sented in a fun and engaging manner. The All-Hands meeting is an opportunity in which
we can all come together to share ideas, voice concerns and provide feedback on both
day-to-day operations, as well as strategic future initiatives. The Town Hall and Q&A
Session was a great example of this, and topics that were brought forward are being
looked at further by Leadership (more news to come!)
For me, it was a great experience and I am grateful in having the opportunity to connect
with so many IS members. With so many competing projects and priorities day in and
day out, it can be difficult to take a step back and talk with other IS team members that
we do not normally interact with. Being able to MC the All-Hands meeting has allowed
me to meet many new faces, connecting with many IS team members on a personal lev-
el. Feedback is still coming in and I enjoy hearing the teams’ positive experiences from
it. Cheers to a great 2015 All-Hands meeting!

4. Tell us something about you outside of I.T.

I enjoy watching and playing several types of sports (football, basketball, baseball, hockey, tennis and golf). Since I am orig-
inally from Chicago, I cheer for all the Chicago Sports Teams. Reading Comic Books, watching movies and attending San
Diego Comic Con every summer.
5. What does a typical work day look like?
A typical work day for me is participating in several conference calls, resolve any new or open issues for the departments
that I support. Also, that I am up to date with all my At Task Projects or At Task projects that I am assisting other project
managers with .
6. What do you find rewarding about your job/position?
There are two things that I find rewarding about my job. The first thing is the people we support (customers) are satisfied
with the work I do and the issues are resolved. The second is completing the projects that I work on and that everything is
working
ZOLL RescueNet Code Review Application allows the
BIOMED Techs and other medical staff to review the
codes that are transmitted from the defibrillators once
the device is used. Wireless cards are placed in each
defibrillator. The data codes are sent to a network
shared drive (LBZOLL01) through the wireless net-
work. To the left is a screenshot of where the file is
stored.
The file is read by the ZOLL Res-
cueNet Code Review application
that is installed on each users
workstation:
“A Day in the Life of... Matthew Lundquist”
1. What is your position?
Technical Specialist
2. What team do you work under?
I report to Chris Ayster the Director of Technical Services
for MHS. I primarily work with the Telecom, desktop, and
Network Services teams.
3. What’s your background?
I completed my bachelor’s degree back in 2013 with a
degree in Business and emphasis in Management. During
that time I was an intern for Chris Ayster at Long Beach
Memorial working on the BCMA (BarCode Med Admin-
istration) project and the early stages of the Synergy Pro-
ject which we just completed. After that Rick Nafis the
Executive Director of IS at Saddleback Memorial hired me on as an analyst for the application database. I have since
helped transition the application database into ServiceNow as I was on the project team implementing it around the Enter-
prise that replaced TrackIt. Before joining MemorialCare I was a Youth Sports Director in Orange, CA for three years teach-
ing youth to high school based boys and girls to learn and compete in water polo and swimming.
4. Tell us something about you outside of I.T. (hobbies, interests, etc.).
Outside of the office you can usually find me in the gym right after work and then I’m roaming the pool deck at nights and on
the weekends coaching. I’ve been involved in the sport of water polo and have been playing since I was a youth all the way
to my senior year of college. Now I’ve been head coaching a 12 under youth travel team for the past 6 years in Irvine where
we compete across the state. Other than coaching I love to swim, hike, and hang out with my friends.
5. What does a typical work day look like?
I usually get into the office is around 7:00-
7:30am and from there I try to catch-up on any
emails from the day before and send out up-
dates to team members until about 9:00am. I
am currently involved in a few projects so I
have my weekly and bi-weekly project meetings
to get ready for with building agendas to keep
projects on schedule. At this moment I am
working with Long Beach & Community Hospi-
tal IS telecom team with installing a new NEC
PBX to replace CHLB’s current Nortel phone
system. Most of my day after
that consists of working in
Workfront on organizing
tasks and following up with
the project team on how things are going. Then I usually end my day talking to my boss debriefing on
how both our days went and if we need anything from each other.
6. What do you find rewarding about your
job/position?
I am very fortunate to have a role where I am not designated to just one specific job but am able to help various teams with
improving workflows, processing requests, and resolving break/fix situations. I am currently moving towards the project
management role for the Technical side of IT Operations. This is a great opportunity because I get to work with implement-
ing new applications & equipment while also managing upgrades of current systems here at MemorialCare.
