    Filling The Community’s Need for a 24/7 Pharmacy

    Beginning April 29, Renown Pharmacy – Pringle Will Be Open 24/7 Weeks after the only 24/7 pharmacy in Reno-Sparks announced it is no longer open overnight, Renown steps up to fill the community’s need, offering peace of mind knowing that any time, day or night, people can fulfill their essential medication prescriptions at Renown Pharmacy. Renown Health is pleased to announce that beginning on Monday, April 29, Renown Pharmacy - Pringle will expand hours to serve as the only 24/7 pharmacy in the area to serve all customers. The Renown Pharmacy located inside Renown Regional Medical Center will fill a gap left in the community after Walgreens on N. Virginia Street in Reno announced that they will no longer operate on a 24-hour, seven day a week schedule. Renown’s “all-hours, around the clock” pharmacy access will allow patients post-discharge from any area hospital the ability to fill their pharmaceutical prescriptions at any time, along with granting all community members the opportunity to pick up their prescriptions when it is most convenient for them. “We are proud to be able to step up to provide round-the-clock access to essential medications and healthcare services for our growing community, said Brian Erling, MD, MBA, President & CEO for Renown Health. “We understand the importance of accessibility to medications and healthcare support, especially during times of urgent need. Our decision to operate our pharmacy 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, reflects our commitment to serving the needs of our community and ensuring individuals have convenient access to the care they need, day and night.” “We are grateful for the pharmacy service that Walgreens provided the Reno-Sparks area for many years. We are excited that Renown can now provide our community with access to 24/7 Rx care,” said Adam Porath, Pharm.D., BCACP, BCPS, FASHP, Renown Health Vice President of Pharmacy Services. “By offering continuous pharmacy services, we aim to provide peace of mind to our customers and community- knowing that they can rely on us, any time, day, or night, to fulfill their prescription needs and offer professional guidance on medication management. Our talented team of pharmacists and techs are eager to serve our community with the Renown Pharmacy at Renown Regional Medical Center, starting Monday, April 29.” “In times of illness, timely access to medications is crucial for effective treatment and swift recovery. Whether its managing chronic conditions or addressing acute symptoms, adhering to prescribed medication schedules can significantly impact one’s health outcomes,” said Bill Plauth, MD, MMM, CPE, Chief Medical Officer for Renown Health. We believe that by extending our pharmacy hours, we can better support the health and well-being of our community, ensuring they receive care they deserve when they need it most. We invite our people to take advantage of our expanded pharmacy and experience the convenience and reliability of our 24/7 services.” Renown Pharmacy - Pringle is conveniently located on the first floor of Renown Regional Medical Center in Reno. The Renown Pharmacy is near Starbucks and specializes in hard-to-find pharmaceuticals at lower costs, such as certain compound medications not typically stocked at other retail locations.

    Cinco motivos para cambiar a la farmacia moderna de Renown

    Renown Health has two retail pharmacy locations – one at Renown Regional on Pringle Way and another on Locust Street. And while many people think of a pharmacy as where we get prescriptions and pick up refills, it’s so much more. Adam Porath, vice president of pharmacy services at Renown, discusses five benefits of switching to a Renown Pharmacy.  1. Hospital Integration With the Meds-to-Beds Program, the Renown Health Pharmacy delivers prescriptions to patients on the floor when they leave the hospital. Another thing that is interesting about the pharmacy is its integration with providers. So, if there is a problem with your prescription, the Renown Pharmacy can get hold of your provider right away. We also can see your lab results and make sure that the dose you are prescribed is the right one. 2. On-Site Vaccinations The Renown Health Pharmacy has a private consultation area to administer vaccines on-site. Their team routinely stocks more than a dozen vaccines, and you can call either location (Regional: 775-982-7737 and Locust Street: 775-982-5280) to see if what you're looking for is in stock. Appointments are available in MyChart. 3. Compounding Services Only a fraction of pharmacies in the United States provides compounding services. In the Reno/Sparks area, there are just a few and Renown Pharmacy is one of them. Traditional retail pharmacies take drugs received from a drug manufacturer and put them into a smaller container in the individual amount that the doctor prescribed for a patient. A compounding pharmacy provides medications that are not available commercially. For example, a doctor has prescribed a dose that is smaller than what is commercially available. Compounding the medication will provide the dosage as prescribed. Another example could be a child who can’t take a tablet. The pharmacy may be able to use compounding to convert medications into something that is the child can take.

    Renown Health cuenta con un nuevo sistema robótico automatizado

    Renown Health announced today that it is now using ARxIUM’s Robotic IV Automation (RIVA) system in its pharmacy to streamline the production process of IV admixtures. RIVA is a fully automated compounding system designed to precisely and accurately prepare IV syringes and bags in hospital pharmacies. This state-of-the-art system is considered the gold standard when it comes to safety, effectiveness and precision in pharmacy technology. To operate the robot, pharmacists and pharmacy technicians load drugs into the machine, in addition to drug vials, syringes and IV bags. Everything that goes into RIVA receives a barcode as it’s loaded to help the robot identify each item. The operator then instructs the robot to create the drug and RIVA goes to work, allowing employees to go about other duties as the robot maximizes efficiency. RIVA validates each component during the admixture process including size, barcode and weight of each ingredient to ensure accuracy. For an added level of safety, RIVA uses high-intensity pulsed ultraviolet light for disinfection of all vial and bag parts prior to compounding the drugs. “The contamination of IV products usually comes from humans – from our skin, breath, hair or other particles in the air,” said Renown Regional Medical Center’s pharmacy manager, Derek Gillespie. “Además, el proceso repetitivo de un humano mezclando 100 artículos de la misma cosa y la posibilidad de distracción pueden conducir a errores. By automating the complex admixture process using the RIVA system, we’re able to significantly reduce the risk of contamination and human error.”  RIVA has the continuous capability to learn how to produce new admixtures through detailed programming done by pharmacists and pharmacy technicians. El sistema almacena la información para poder volver a fabricar el medicamento cuando se le indique. Con la ayuda del personal de la farmacia, RIVA produce un lote de aproximadamente 50 artículos a la vez, y puede hacer hasta 500 mezclas por día. By using RIVA, the pharmacy’s goal is to have items available on hand to help meet patients’ needs quickly. Además, en caso de escasez de medicinas, RIVA permitiría a la farmacia fabricar sus propias soluciones intravenosas o mezclar artículos no disponibles para la compra. Actualmente, solo 27 farmacias en todo el país utilizan el sistema RIVA. Up until recently, Renown’s pharmacy team did all of its admixtures manually. “It’s exciting to have this new technology in our pharmacy and to know that at Renown Health, we are leveraging the latest technology out there to make our patients as safe as possible,” said Tony Slonim, MD, DrPH, president and CEO of Renown. “Our staff takes pride in using technology like the RIVA system as it allows them to hone their craft on the best technology in the field. We look forward to maximizing our IV production capabilities and fulfilling our patient’s needs more efficiently than ever thanks to RIVA and the incredible team that operates the robot.” For b-roll of RIVA in action and an interview from Derek Gillespie, click here.     About Renown Health Renown Health is a locally governed and locally owned, not-for-profit integrated healthcare network serving northern Nevada, Lake Tahoe and northeast California.

    Renown's Dr. Kate Ward Honored with Nevada Society of Health System Pharmacists (NVSHP) President's Award

    The award is given annually to a member of the Nevada pharmacy community making significant and sustained contributions to the field Kate Ward, Pharm.D., BCPS Director of Clinical Pharmacy at Renown Health is the 2022 recipient of the Nevada Society of Health System Pharmacists (NVSHP) President’s Award. Dr. Ward has been with Renown for over a decade, starting as a Clinical Pharmacist in 2009. As the Director of Clinical Pharmacy, she is responsible for the oversight of all clinical pharmacy activities at Renown Regional, South Meadows and Rehab. Additionally, Dr. Ward is the Residency Director of the Post-Graduate Year 1 (PGY1) Pharmacy Practice Residency at Renown Regional Medical Center. “We are so proud that Kate has been recognized by the Nevada Society of Health System Pharmacists with the President’s Award and for her many accomplishments as a member of our Renown Pharmacy team. With 66% of adults taking five or more drugs per day and 27% taking 10 or more per day, a pharmacist’s review is critical in supporting patient safety and well-being,” says Tom Graf, MD, interim CEO, Renown Health. “Beyond that, pharmacists have the ability to suggest methods for accurately and effectively taking prescribed medications, discuss medication safety, identify and manage side effects and assist patients and families in managing chronic health conditions.” As a licensed pharmacist, Dr. Ward holds The Doctor of Pharmacy degree (abbreviated Pharm.D. or PharmD) from the University of Colorado. The Pharm.D. is a professional degree similar to a Doctor of Medicine (MD) or Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS). As a doctorate, it represents the increasing responsibility pharmacists have in healthcare systems and the high trust Americans have in pharmacists. The Doctor of Pharmacy degree takes three to four years of undergraduate pre-professional (prerequisite) coursework, followed by four academic years in a professional program. Most students need four years to complete their prerequisite courses. Thus, it usually takes eight years of college study to earn a Pharm.D. and become a pharmacist. Pharmacists working in hospitals and health systems often complete additional post-graduate training after a Pharm.D. degree. Dr. Ward completed a PGY1 Residency at Stanford prior to joining the Pharmacy Department at Renown. “Dr. Ward is such an asset to Renown and our community. Her incredible perseverance to reach for and achieve higher aspirations has resulted in this important recognition by our peers across the state. She consistently contributes her pharmacy expertise to patients, physicians, clinicians and healthcare students and volunteers her time to advance the profession at both the state and national level through pharmacy professional organization participation. It is wonderful to have her efforts recognized by NVSHP,” says Adam Porath, Pharm.D., BCACP, BCPS, FASHP, Vice President, Pharmacy. On Sept. 24, NVSHP and the Nevada Pharmacy Alliance held their annual joint meeting at Renown Regional Medical Center. During this meeting, Dr. Ward was awarded the NVSHP President’s Award. The President’s Award is awarded annually at NVSHP President's discretion to a member making significant and sustained contributions to NVSHP. Dr. Ward was specifically recognized for representing the State of Nevada at the American Society Health System Pharmacists House of Delegates for several consecutive years, as well as her continuous contributions to the annual NVSHP Student Symposium. Established in October 2006, NVSHP has diligently worked on continuing the strong foundation developed to better meet the needs of health-system pharmacists in Nevada. The organization was established on a strong mission statement that enables Nevada's pharmacists to be heard, from all regions of the state and in one collective voice to advocate for patient care. Are you interested in working with this award-winning team? The Renown Health Pharmacy is hiring for multiple roles, including pharmacy technician and clinical pharmacist.

    Preparing For an Anticipated Surge of Patients Amidst COVID-19

    Across the country, we are seeing an increase in COVID-19 cases including significant surges in hospitalized patients in many communities. As our nation experiences the impact of this international pandemic, we at Renown Health are focused on preparing for what could occur in our own community.  We continue to safely screen, diagnose and care for patients with respiratory illnesses, including those at risk for COVID-19. We have been, and will continue to use, current local, national and international data, analytics, public data sets and predictive modeling. Based on these predictive models, we anticipate seeing a surge in hospital patient volumes over the next several weeks. We are preparing for potential patient census increases, requiring a planning effort that challenges us to think outside of the box. Serving this level of hospital patients, which is called a “surge” will challenge us to ensure we have the beds, procedure capacity and spaces that accommodate staff, technology, supplies, equipment and services to meet the needs of our patients. To meet the increasing needs, a new temporary patient care area will be created within the Mill Street parking structure to serve additional hospitalized patients at Renown Regional Medical Center. This location allows caregivers to remain on campus, and still have accessibility to existing hospital infrastructure such as lab, pharmacy, imaging, food services and other critical services. This solution also allows for an efficient level of care escalation and other emergent interventions as needed. Crews will begin construction shortly and will include will include flooring, electrical infrastructure, lighting, water, technology and wall partitions. This facility will be equipped with beds and basic patient care support equipment. Hospitals in other communities around the country have successfully taken this approach, including Vanderbilt University Hospital. All around the country, hospitals are implementing creative approaches to ensure patient care needs can be addressed. As the work continues in the Mill Street Parking structure, we will evaluate the best way to incorporate our media partners and our community in seeing what the finished alternate care site looks like. We would like to send our sincere appreciation to our local partners in this project who have been working around the clock to make this work happen: Clark/Sullivan Construction, Curtis Bros. Construction, PK Electrical, Ainsworth Associates Mechanical Engineers, Intermountain Electric, Mt. Rose Heating & Air Conditioning and Frank Lepori Construction.

    Renown Health reconocida como uno de los mejores lugares para trabajar

    Ragan Communications reconoció a Renown Health como un lugar de trabajo que defiende a los cuidadores, la diversidad y el crecimiento profesional y lo nombró uno de los “Mejores lugares para trabajar” de 2022. Las organizaciones galardonadas por Ragan son instituciones que valoran la comunicación interna, promueven lugares de trabajo colaborativos e innovadores que defienden a los cuidadores, cultivan una cultura que prospera con la diversidad de ideas y contextos, y apoyan el crecimiento y el bienestar profesional. Cuando el jurado de Ragan seleccionó a Renown Health para esta distinción señalaron que Renown Health se ganó el reconocimiento como mejor lugar para trabajar por “tomar medidas rápidas para responder a los desafíos de la pandemia”. Observaron que “los equipos de Renown Health, que prestan servicios al norte de Nevada, Lake Tahoe y el noreste de California, están preparados para emergencias 365 días al año. Cuando llegó la pandemia de la COVID-19, los equipos tomaron medidas rápidas para garantizar que Renown y la comunidad permanecieran listos y preparados”. Renown tuvo la visión de crear un centro de atención alternativa (llamado “Alternate Care Site”, ACS) en la estructura de estacionamiento de Mill Street del Regional Medical Center en Reno, Nevada. Ninguna otra organización en el norte de Nevada, pública o privada, se preparó para un desborde de pacientes con COVID-19. Hasta enero de 2021, el ACS atendió a cientos de pacientes hospitalizados y les permitió a los cuidadores permanecer en el campus con acceso a servicios de laboratorio, farmacia, diagnóstico por imágenes y alimentos, entre otros servicios fundamentales. Los pacientes ahora reciben atención en uno de los hospitales de Renown o son monitoreados en sus hogares 24/7 por médicos del Renown Transfer and Operations Center. Muchos empleados trabajaron de forma remota durante toda la pandemia y el Departamento de Recursos Humanos de Renown escuchó las ideas y opiniones que estos tenían para ofrecer. Los comentarios positivos sobre el trabajo remoto (que incluyeron menos tiempo de viaje, menos distracciones, mejor equilibrio entre el trabajo y la vida personal, y una menor huella de carbono) permitieron que más de 700 empleados continuaran trabajando de manera remota, con la opción de quedarse en el sitio en cualquier momento. El junio de 2020, el equipo del Laboratorio de Renown entró en acción para ayudar a satisfacer la creciente demanda de pruebas de COVID-19. Renown amplió la plantilla de personal y la capacidad de hacer pruebas de forma interna, lo que les permitió hacer hisopados y procesar hasta 1,000 pruebas de COVID para pacientes cada día y entregar los resultados en cuestión de horas. En su trabajo con el grupo especial del alcalde dedicado a la COVID-19 y los líderes comunitarios y religiosos locales, el hospital también realizó pruebas gratuitas de COVID-19 para las comunidades de color a fin de abordar las necesidades de equidad en la salud. Después de varias semanas de eventos exitosos de vacunación desde el automóvil para empleados y voluntarios, Renown también apoyó al Distrito de Salud del Condado de Washoe y al estado con la vacunación de más de 70,000 vecinos y cuidadores. Aristotle, supervisor de enfermería clínica en Neurociencias, dice: “Como líder de mi unidad, me encanta poder ver el crecimiento y el desarrollo de mi equipo, y ser parte de un sistema de apoyo que los ayuda a emprender iniciativas futuras para realmente transmitir esa cultura de excelencia en Renown”. Vea el video aquí. Los revisores de Ragan hicieron énfasis en lo siguiente: “Los empleados quieren trabajar en organizaciones como Renown, que defienden a su fuerza laboral y brindan orientación, iniciativas y recursos que promueven un lugar de trabajo diverso, equitativo e inclusivo, donde hay mucho espacio para el crecimiento profesional y donde se emplea una comunicación eficaz que los mantiene conectados e informados”. Después de escuchar a los empleados, Renown anunció una serie de beneficios adicionales para promover formas de aumentar el equilibrio entre el trabajo y la vida personal, apoyar estrategias de descanso y recuperación, y nuevos recursos financieros fundamentales para que los equipos estén satisfechos y tengan un alto desempeño.

DispatchHealth, a provider of in-home medical care, today announced a partnership with Renown Health to provide Reno/Sparks residents with high- quality medical care in the comfort of their homes. The partnership aims to provide patients with another option for safe access to medical care during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond. DispatchHealth and Renown’s goal is to offer the most vulnerable patients at-home care options if it is in the best interest of their health needs. DispatchHealth’s model is uniquely positioned to help treat an extensive range of common to complex injuries and illnesses, including but not limited to urinary tract infections, dehydration, fall injuries, nausea, sutures and more and is accepted by most major insurance plans. Si un paciente no tiene seguro, hay una tarifa plana de $275, que incluye todos los medicamentos administrados y los análisis de laboratorio en el sitio. “It’s more important than ever to be able to offer patients convenient, high-acuity medical care that is also cost-efficient,” said Bill Butcher, regional market director, DispatchHealth. “The partnership with Renown Health provides safe care for people without them having to leave their home, helping to ensure community members get the right care at the right place at the right time.” Los pacientes que necesiten servicios médicos para enfermedades repentinas o urgentes, como dolor de garganta o erupciones cutáneas, pueden solicitar atención a través del sitio web de DispatchHealth, de la aplicación móvil gratuita o de la línea telefónica 775-439-1529. Once contacted, the medical team arrives within a few hours to treat the patient in their place of need and consists of either a physician assistant or nurse practitioner, along with a medical technician. DispatchHealth’s medical teams wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) during all visits, including masks, gloves, and protective eyewear. Additionally, kits and devices are sanitized during and between visits. The medical team is able to perform a variety of advanced tests and treatments, ranging from blood tests to a 12-lead EKG, to IV fluids and more. To ensure continuity of care, DispatchHealth provides a detailed report to each primary care physician, living community, or a home health agency, in addition to electronically sending prescriptions to a patient’s pharmacy if needed. En caso de emergencias, incluidas, entre otras, dolor torácico, signos de derrame cerebral, reacciones alérgicas o lesiones graves, se insta a las personas a llamar al 911 y solicitar cuidados agudos y seguros en una de las salas de emergencias de Renown.

    Dos años que no olvidaremos: la COVID-19 en Renown Health

    On March 19, 2020, Renown Regional admitted the first patient in need of care while sick with COVID-19. Our providers navigated two years of a pandemic and overcame many challenges while providing the best care for our patients and the community. Anicia Beckwith’s series “The Art of Healing” captured Renown Health during this time. Let's take a look back on the last two years. February 2020: Standing Up the Hospital Incident Command System (HICS) On February 25, 2020, leaders at Renown Health stood up Renown’s Hospital Incident Command System (HICS), a standardized system used to organize response personnel and resources and manage response operations during emergencies and crises. March 2020: Temporary Deployable Medical Structure Placed Outside Renown Regional Emergency Department On March 12, 2020, Renown set up a deployable medical facility to serve as a respiratory illness screening center for emergency room patients at Renown Regional. A similar tent was also set up outside the emergency room at South Meadows Medical Center. This proactive measure helped our teams care for community members with respiratory illness symptoms while protecting patients and staff in the emergency department and other areas of the hospital. Check out photos of the tent here. Read the Reno Gazette Journal Article about the tent here. April 2020: Alternate Care Site at Mill Street Parking Structure at Renown Regional Renown’s HICS team decided to create an Alternate Care Site (ACS) in the Renown Regional Medical Center Mill Street parking structure. The ACS served additional hospitalized patients and allowed caregivers to remain on campus and still have access to existing hospital infrastructure such as lab, pharmacy, imaging, food services and other critical services. After just 10 days of construction, the ACS was completed on April 3, 2020 with space to hold up to 1,400 patients. Check out photos of the ACS under construction here. On Nov. 12, 2020, Renown opened the ACS to serve additional hospitalized patients diagnosed with COVID-19 who were clinically stable or improving. Healthcare workers at Renown cared for hundreds of patients at this site. In early Jan. 2021, the remaining patients returned home. Check out the video of Connie, a patient who received care in the ACS. April and July 2020: The LOVE Sculpture Placed at Renown Regional On April 16, 2020, during a time of darkness and uncertainty, Artown loaned Renown the LOVE sculpture, a one-ton aluminum piece of art created by artist Laura Kimpton and fabricated by Jeff Schomberg. The structure, which originally debuted at Burning Man, was lit up Renown Regional's main entrance on Mill St. Watch a video about the LOVE sculpture’s debut at Renown Regional. On July 13, 2020, thanks to the support of former board chair and community supporter Blake Smith and the Keyser Foundation, the LOVE sculpture is now a permanent fixture at Renown Health. Throughout the pandemic, it has served as a source of inspiration, hope and positivity for our community and care providers. Check out a video of the LOVE is Here to Stay celebration. June 2020: Renown Offers In-House COVID Testing In June 2020, the Renown laboratory team sprang into action to help meet the growing demand for COVID-19 testing amongst Washoe County residents and businesses. Renown invested in expanded staffing and in-house testing capabilities that ensured our teams could swab and process up to 1,000 COVID-19 tests for patients each day. All with results returning within hours. November 2020: Renown Introduces “Hospital At Home” Remote Monitoring In November 2020, six patients at Renown Regional Medical Center and Renown South Meadows Medical Center diagnosed with COVID-19 were outfitted with a remote Hospital at Home monitoring system. Renown clinicians plan to continue using this system to monitor upwards of 1,000 hospitalized patients and lower acuity patients from their homes. December 2020: Renown Administers COVID-19 Vaccines to Health Care Employees On Dec. 17, 2020, Renown began to vaccinate its healthcare workers. Among those receiving the first vaccines was Luis Martinez, a technician on Renown’s Clinical Decision Unit who cared for patients recovering from COVID-19 in the Alternate Care Site field hospital. Read the Reno Gazette Journal article about the COVID-19 vaccine rollout at Renown. January 2021: Renown Administers COVID-19 Vaccines to Community After several weeks of successful employee and volunteer drive-thru vaccination events, Renown supported the Washoe County Health District and the state in vaccinating Washoe County community members. Click here for a playlist of videos featuring Renown Health employees and patients talking about the importance of the COVID-19 vaccine. February 2021: Local Widow Inspires Renown to Change Visitor Supporter Policy Darlene Randolph’s husband Dave spent 17 days hospitalized at Renown Regional Medical Center before losing his battle with COVID-19 on December 13, 2020. Darlene wrote a passionate letter to Renown Health asking for the visitor policy that allowed patients with COVID-19 to receive visitors. In February 2021, Renown hospitals were among the first in the country to lift visitor restrictions for patients with COVID-19 to encourage families to be at the patient's bedside. Read Darlene’s full story here. May 2021: Renown Celebrates Volunteers, Partners and Community Who Aided in Vaccine Efforts In May 2021, Renown administered the last dose of COVID-19 vaccines to community members in Renown’s drive-thru clinic. Between January and May 2021, over 80,000 doses were administered at the drive-thru. View drone footage of this effort here. Click here to see pictures of vaccine volunteers and employees. November 2021: Renown Offers Vaccine for Children Ages 5+ In November 2021, Renown vaccinated children in the Reno-Sparks community with the 2-dose series in a limited round of weekend clinics. The vaccine clinics featured therapy dogs, local mascots and donuts donated by Doughboy’s Donuts.

    8 Financial & Wellness Benefits for Employees

    Escuchamos las principales necesidades actuales y futuras de los empleados; nos aseguramos de que las familias estén sanas y tengan seguridad financiera La semana pasada, la Reserva Federal aumentó la tasa de interés de referencia por primera vez desde marzo de 2020. Esto significará un costo más alto para los endeudamientos con tarjetas de crédito, los préstamos para estudio y vivienda, el financiamiento de automóviles, entre otras. También podría representar mayores ganancias en las cuentas de ahorros, según la institución. Esta noticia, junto con las inquietudes sobre la salud mental y el bienestar físico de los cuidadores a medida que superan la pandemia, ha presentado a los líderes de Renown una oportunidad única de reformular los enfoques sobre cómo ayudar a sus empleados a crecer, a sentirse apoyados económicamente e involucrarse como parte de un equipo saludable y pujante. Después de escuchar a los empleados, el Departamento de Recursos Humanos de Renown Health anunció una serie de beneficios adicionales para promover formas de aumentar el equilibrio entre el trabajo y la vida personal, apoyar estrategias de descanso y recuperación, y brindar nuevos recursos financieros fundamentales para que los equipos estén satisfechos y tengan un alto desempeño. Renown Health está contratando personas para ocupar puestos clave para apoyar la salud y el bienestar de nuestra comunidad, y alienta a aquellos a quienes les apasiona el sector de servicios a unirse a la familia de Renown y luchar por la causa justa. Para ello, deben postularse en línea en careers.renown.org Los beneficios nuevos y ampliados de 2022 para los empleados incluyen los siguientes: 1. Beneficios ampliados del plan de salud física, del plan médico y del dental. El programa MOBE, que se ofrece sin cargo, brinda a cada empleado una Guía de salud personal para apoyar cuatro elementos centrales de la salud: dieta, sueño, movimiento físico y bienestar emocional, con el fin de ayudarles a desarrollar hábitos saludables, impulsar una vida mejor, cargarse de energía y promover la sanación. Este año, Renown amplió su cobertura del plan médico al agregar nuevos beneficios, sin aumentar las tasas que pagan los empleados. Renown ofrece beneficios de seguro de salud a través de Hometown Health, la única y más grande compañía de seguros sin fines de lucro de propiedad local del norte de Nevada con cobertura médica de amplio alcance. Hometown Health ofrece acceso a la red más grande de servicios clínicos de la mayor calidad prestados por 1,200 médicos y especialistas en 150 centros de atención, incluidos los del Renown Medical Group: los centros de atención de urgencia, los servicios de laboratorio y de diagnóstico por imágenes, y los mejores hospitales del estado según el Us News & World Report, el Renown Regional Medical Center (2022) y el Renown South Meadows Medical Center (2021). Los nuevos beneficios médicos que se agregaron este año incluyen visitas de telesalud con un copago de $0; recetas de Renown Pharmacy sin deducible y, si los empleados y sus familias necesitan viajar fuera del área para recibir atención esencial, ahora se ofrece un estipendio para viajar al University Medical Center en Las Vegas o al University of Utah Health. La organización también redujo el costo de las primas del seguro de salud que pagan los empleados a tiempo parcial (entre 20 y 30 horas). Además de las mejoras en los beneficios para la salud, la red dental se amplió con MetLife Dental, sin aumentos en las primas de las tasas del plan dental que pagan los empleados en 2022. Como organización sin fines de lucro, Renown puede ofrecer a los empleados la capacidad de establecer cuentas de gastos flexibles como una forma de usar dinero libre de impuestos para pagar gastos médicos que no cubren otros planes de salud. 2. Mejoras en los programas de apoyo para el bienestar y la salud mental. Renown Health es el hogar del Stacie Mathewson Behavioral Health & Addictions Institute. Como líderes, están trabajando para eliminar el estigma y las barreras al uso de servicios de salud mental cuando se necesitan. Para ello, hacen énfasis en que buscar ayuda demuestra fortaleza, no debilidad. Esto incluye alentar a los miembros del equipo a tomarse un día libre para renovarse y recargar energía o aprovechar las visitas de consejería de salud mental que son confidenciales y sin cargo. Renown actualizó su política para incluir el bienestar mental y emocional como categoría elegible para el uso de la licencia por enfermedad. Durante la pandemia, para asegurarse de que los empleados contaran con el tiempo necesario llegado el caso, el equipo de liderazgo agregó 80 horas de licencia por enfermedad a la licencia por enfermedad a la que tienen derecho los empleados, así como un copago de $0 para sesiones de salud conductual y servicios de nutrición de Teladoc (servicio virtual). Renown fomenta el buen estado físico y estimula la salud y el bienestar de los empleados al apoyar la participación en carreras (a pie o en bicicleta) en sus comunidades. Los empleados que participan en carreras, que corren, caminan, que participan en triatlones o realizan ciclismo pueden solicitar un reembolso por el cargo de una entrada individual de hasta $100. 3. Aprecio y participación de los empleados. Es posible que muchos equipos ahora estén trabajando en el lugar, de manera híbrida o de forma remota, lo que significa que reunirse para crear nuevos recuerdos resulta más difícil. Los líderes de Renown Health continúan generando camaradería y vínculos en el lugar de trabajo al invertir en realizar eventos mensuales de orgullo para el personal, y organizar todo tipo de encuentros, desde reuniones sociales en línea hasta noches de juegos, con el fin de ayudar a restablecer los vínculos. En Renown, la participación de los empleados también adopta la forma de programas de reconocimiento. El programa Everyday Amazing alienta a los empleados a darse las gracias unos a otros por un servicio excepcional mediante una plataforma en línea, y a obtener certificados y puntos para tarjetas de regalo y premios. Employee and organization-led leadership and career education programs are encouraged, as well as paid volunteer opportunities (four hours each quarter), and matches of up to $1000 for non-profit organization boards on which Renown Health employees serve. Renown ofrece eventos y anuarios para ayudar a los empleados a celebrar su historia y logros. También organiza Celebrate Amazing, un evento especial para celebrar los hitos de servicio y honrar a los galardonados como “Mejores Talentos” y “Mujeres de Logros”. Renown apoya a la comunidad e invita a los proveedores médicos y a los empleados para que asistan a eventos de los Reno Aces, a partidos de fútbol y básquetbol de la UNR, a la Great Reno Balloon Race y a cientos de eventos de la comunidad cada año. 4. Vivir sin deudas con programas de bienestar financiero. Hay disponible un programa gratuito de bienestar financiero de Salary Finance para los empleados, con un préstamo vinculado al salario. Este beneficio permite a los empleados tomar préstamos o ahorrar dinero directamente a través de su cheque de pago. Los préstamos vinculados al salario permiten a los empleados acceder a crédito asequible que pueden pagar fácilmente mediante su salario, lo cual les ayuda a pagar deudas existentes o a evitar el uso de tarjetas de crédito con altos intereses, los cargos por sobregiro o los préstamos de días de pago. Salary Finance ofrece opciones de préstamo asequibles para momentos de necesidad, así como un componente de educación financiera que ayuda a los empleados a comprender su nivel actual de contenido financiero específico según sus necesidades. Desde su lanzamiento, más del 40 % de los empleados ha participado en la oferta de Salary Finance, y más de 500 han accedido a créditos asequibles a través del Financial Wellbeing Hub de Salary Finance para Renown. “Ha tenido un impacto maravilloso y ha disminuido el estrés frecuente que sentía respecto a mi deuda”, expresó un empleado de Renown inscrito en el programa. En total, se calcula que los empleados han ahorrado casi $275,000 en intereses, y esa cifra continúa aumentando a medida que más empleados aprovechan el beneficio. El programa Greater Perks de Greater Nevada Credit Union, la cooperativa de crédito oficial para empleados de Renown, ofrece una serie de beneficios que incluyen un bono de $100 por abrir una nueva cuenta corriente, $25 por abrir una nueva cuenta “I Can Save”, $500 de crédito por una valoración para un préstamo para vivienda, tasas bajas para préstamos personales a corto plazo y préstamos para automóviles, además de seminarios regulares sobre bienestar financiero en línea. No se requiere ser miembro de la cooperativa de crédito para aprovechar las ofertas de Greater Nevada Mortgage. Además, los donantes han aportado, mediante la Fundación de Renown Health, fondos para ayudar a los empleados que han sufrido una catástrofe financiera personal y necesitan financiamiento de emergencia para pagar facturas, sin necesidad de pago. 5. Reembolso de asistencia educativa, pago de préstamo estudiantil y educación continua para estudiantes. Renown valora y alienta a los empleados a continuar estudiando y apoya las aspiraciones y metas profesionales. El programa de asistencia educativa ofrece oportunidades de reembolso y pago de préstamos, así como orientación educativa y financiera de expertos. Se proporciona reembolso de matrícula, certificación y certificado a los empleados que actualmente están inscritos en una universidad/facultad o están trabajando por obtener una certificación o certificado profesional. Además, la organización apoya a los empleados que han completado su educación anteriormente y que ahora enfrentan la carga de los préstamos estudiantiles. Los empleados también tienen la opción de invertir en un plan de ahorros para la universidad 529, un programa de inversión diseñado para ayudar a las personas a ahorrar para gastos educativos futuros de hijos/dependientes en casi cualquier universidad privada o pública o institución de educación superior acreditada. 6. Asistencia para el cuidado infantil y de adultos en el lugar. Organizar el cuidado infantil ha sido un obstáculo para los padres que trabajan a lo largo de la pandemia. Renown es uno de los pocos sistemas de salud que ofrecen cuidado infantil en el lugar. En Renown Health Child Care Center, se recibe a los hijos de los empleados que tienen entre seis semanas y seis años (que aún no asisten al jardín de infantes). El centro está autorizado para 176 niños y cuenta con 11 aulas: tres aulas para bebés, cuatro para niños pequeños y cuatro aulas para niños en edad preescolar. El personal ayuda a los padres con recursos para buscar cuidado infantil en el lugar o con proveedores de servicio de guardería autorizados en la comunidad. Los empleados cuidan cada vez más de los adultos mayores en sus familias. Como organización sin fines de lucro, los empleados pueden contribuir en sus cuentas FSA con ahorros libres de impuestos que cubran el cuidado de niños y adultos mayores. 7. Horarios y ubicaciones flexibles. Renown ahora brinda a los proveedores médicos y a los empleados la posibilidad de trabajar en el lugar, de manera híbrida o remota. Este año, dado que muchos empleados que trabajaban de forma remota se mudaron del estado para estar más cerca de sus amigos o familiares, Renown no se quedó atrás y contrató a una organización de empleo profesional llamada Tri Net, en un modelo de empleo conjunto para obtener ayudar con los beneficios y la administración de impuestos a nivel nacional. Ahora, Renown puede reclutar y conservar empleados que trabajan de forma remota en ubicaciones que van desde Maine hasta Minnesota y ofrecer, para una amplia variedad de puestos de TI, servicios de apoyo de finanzas y otros tipos, horarios remotos y flexibles que resultan atractivos para muchos empleados en todo el país. Los médicos ahora cuentan con una gran variedad de puestos disponibles en más de 100 ubicaciones en todo el estado. El 7 de marzo, Renown aumentó el límite del diferencial de turno a 10 % hasta $6 por ahora y agregó un diferencial de fin de semana para el personal de hasta un 5 %. En los hospitales de Renown, hay puestos de trabajo disponibles las 24 horas, los 7 días de la semana para servir a la comunidad. Otros proveedores y empleados aprovechan las opciones de semana laboral comprimida, turnos de 12 horas, entre otras, que les permiten tener flexibilidad para llevar la vida que desean en el trabajo y en el hogar. 8. Plan de ahorros para la jubilación de Renown. Hay disponibles planes de ahorro para la jubilación, incluido el plan 401(k) completo a través de Vanguard, para que los empleados ahorren para el momento de jubilarse. Los empleados pueden contribuir entre el 1 y el 75 % del pago antes de aplicados los impuestos (hasta el límite anual que establece el IRS) y recibir una contribución equivalente de Renown del 4 % cuando aportan un 4 % o más a un plan 401(k). Se pueden hacer traspasos de planes 401(k), 403(b), 457 u otros planes calificados de un empleador anterior a un plan de Vanguard en cualquier momento. Además, se permiten retiros en servicio la edad de 59 años y medio 2de la cuenta 401(k) y se agregó una nueva opción de Roth 401(k).
