UKG Launches Next Week: What to Expect |
Emerson transitions to UKG next Monday, September 21. On that day, employees will begin using UKG for timekeeping and requesting time off. Here is what you need to know for go-live: - Already use an Emerson time clock? Keep using the same physical clock. No change is needed to how you punch in and out.
-
Do not currently use a time clock? Access the desktop application or mobile app to track time.
-
Need help getting started? Visit the UKG Hub page to review Job Aids for step-by-step instructions and training videos.
-
Have a question or issue? Email the helpdesk at helpdesk@emersonhosp.org and include “UKG” in the subject.
- Planning to use UKG on your phone? Watch for instructions the week of September 21.
UKG will provide easy access to your schedule, timecard, time-off requests, Earned Time information, and other tools from one place. UKG goes live on Monday, September 21. |

| Smart Pump Vendor Fair: We Need Your Input |
Employees who use syringe, PCA, epidural, or IV pumps are invited to help evaluate potential smart pump options for Emerson. Stop by the Smart Pump Vendor Fair on Tuesday, September 22, from 7:00 to 11:00 a.m. in Cheney A and B to explore pumps from ICU Medical and Baxter and provide feedback on which options are the best fit for our hospital. |

| HIPAA at 30: Your Phone Changed. The Rules Have Not. |
When HIPAA became law in 1996, smartphones did not exist. Today, we carry powerful cameras, messaging tools, email, and internet access everywhere. The technology has changed, but our responsibility to protect patient information has not.
Keep patient privacy in mind when using your phone at work: - Do not take photos or screenshots that include protected health information (PHI) unless an authorized business or clinical need requires it and you use an approved method.
-
Do not send PHI through personal text messages, email accounts, or other unapproved apps.
- Be aware of what may be visible in the background of photos, including computer screens, patient information, whiteboards, and paperwork.
-
Use only Emerson-approved tools and methods to access, share, or store patient information.
Thirty years of new technology. The same responsibility to protect patient privacy. |
