In this episode of the Healthcare Plus Podcast , host Dan Collard continues the conference preview series for Rewiring Healthcare: Foundation to Future (April 28 - 29, Atlanta) with healthcare leader, author, and longtime HPSG colleague Regina Shupe. Shupe will deliver two main-stage sessions at the conference, and this conversation previews both, starting with a timely focus on rewiring how healthcare organizations care for their caregivers. Drawing on nearly four decades in healthcare, Shupe reflects on the toll that passion, grit, and commitment can take on teams, and why the pandemic served as a catalyst for rethinking team well-being. She challenges leaders to go deeper than traditional employee rounding by pairing meaningful questions with practical support tools already available in many organizations, including employee assistance programs, Code Lavender, intentional pauses, and Schwartz Rounds. The discussion then turns to the emergency department, where Shupe is widely known for her work on leadership, flow, and culture.
