Try to run a hectic ER with our ‘Patient Shuffle’ game

Do the Patient ShuffleGE’s recent healthymagination thought leadership summit on hospital efficiency took an in-depth look at how medicine is being transformed by measurable new ways to standardize care, reduce errors, and manage critical hospital equipment — and staff — more efficiently. Those changes underway — and the hurdles that doctors and hospital administrators still face in implementing them — are the subject of a new five-part interactive feature, “Healthy Hospitals,” on GE.com. It ranges from videos of hospital staffers who have to juggle operating rooms and equipment use in high-stress environments to the video game, pictured below, that let’s you see just how good (or bad) you might be at trying to alleviate the more than four hours that patients end up waiting on average in an emergency room visit.

Check out the full story at the GE Reports site.

Meet the Interns - GE Energy

Jonathan - First Rotation IMLP Intern - GE EnergyMy name is Jonathan, and I am a senior at Georgia State University majoring in Computer Information Systems. When I planned to attend the Georgia State’s 2009 Fall Career Expo, I knew that there was one company in particular that I had to talk to.  That company was none other than General Electric, and I was curious to see what all the hype was about.  I wanted to know exactly why this company was noted for being the most innovative company in the world that led the frontier in the newest, cutting-edge technology. Well, as a current IMLP intern, I can certainly say that I now understand. My experience as an IMLP intern has by far been the best experience of my life.

I have never been in a work environment where everyone thoroughly enjoys what they do and are always open to new ideas. I am currently working for the GAMS Siebel-SFDC-OBI Application Technology team, and I have been tasked with finalizing and maintaining our four community portals as well as building several workflows for our various processes.

I am generally not a morning person, but I thoroughly look forward to my 7:30am conference calls with my team members across seas. It gives new meaning to the term global collaboration, and that is what I love most about my IMLP internship experience. I am able to connect with people from all around the globe to make an impact in the future of technology. Therefore, it is my goal and determination to start my career in IT as a full-time IMLP and play a role in the innovation that is GE.

As IMLP Program came to completion

Juliana - IMLP GraduateAfter two years on the IMLP Program, it is time for me to roll off from the program and start my off-program job. I have to say that I’m now with mixed feelings, I’m happy and excited to start this new challenge and phase of my career but I’m also sad that the program finished because this mean no more classes with Dan and Jim, Bootcamps, seeing all IMLPs together, Greg as our Program Manager and the list go on.

The IMLP program has been a great experience and definitely contributed to my personal and professional growth. I really enjoyed having the opportunity of rotating in 3 different businesses, Corporate, Transportation and Healthcare, learning their processes and perspectives. I also enjoyed the different projects I got to work on: two ERP implementations, one local instance and one global instance, EUS project: a global initiative for L2 support, and a Service Quoting Tool. Off course I can’t forget the network I built.

For those of you starting the program or wanting to join I can say that you can expect great challenges, huge opportunities to grow, and life-long friendships with your fellow IMLPs.
