That percentage will soon be going up thanks to new legislation calling for the Center for Healthcare Data to create a State of Texas All Payers Claim Database.

“I love to see people grow and it’s great when their career goals align with the activities that we’re doing at the center,” Ganduglia Cazaban said.

Monica K. Guidry, LCSW, ACSW
Executive Director
UthealthHouston Office of Employee Assistance and Well-Being Programs
Guidry指示大学的16人员工援助计划，该计划支持教师，员工，居民和研究员，以应对日常生活和人际关系的挣扎。她还负责德克萨斯州50多个组织的员工援助计划管理，其中包括其他四家UT机构，30个市政当局和10个其他高等教育机构A＆M大学健康科学中心和休斯顿大学系统。
在整个大流行中，吉德里（Guidry）确保休斯顿的Uthealth雇员知道可用于应对与Covid-19相关的挑战的资源。现在，她的团队正在帮助员工遇到重返工作问题，包括对感染的恐惧以及对幼儿或年长父母的照顾。吉里说，其他问题包括“由于我们的企业的大流行，社会隔离和福祉，对我们员工的心理健康影响。”
“Monica is the proverbial ‘unsung hero,’ in that most of her victories are won in the personal, private, and confidential lives of our faculty and staff,” wrote one of seven members of Guidry’s nominating group. “These victories do not, and cannot, live in view of the public; yet they do live and show up every day in the operational success of our institution without uttering a word.”
During their “Monday Morning Huddles,” Guidry and her co-workers strategize on how to meet the challenges of the week and how the team members are doing on a personal basis. “It was one of those requests that came from the team asking for ways to connect and not isolate,” Guidry said. In addition to her management of the EAP programs, Guidry is a licensed mental health clinician and certified coach. She has developed a critical program for faculty on workplace professionalism, while maintaining a caseload of clients for counseling and coaching.
“Monica is receptive and willing to let us chart new territory in delivering effective programming utilizing technology and the newest trends in social engagement and applying it to employee wellness programming. She basically creates a safe place for us to innovate,” another co-worker wrote in the nomination form.
这位同事继续说：“随着我们进入新的正常状态，莫妮卡（Monica）专门支持我们的健康团队，以重新想象一种提供员工福祉服务的新方法。”
吉德里（Guidry）从家人那里学到了她的许多领导技能，这些技能庆祝了成功并强调价值观，而耐心的游泳教练则认识到纪律的重要性，寻求帮助并相信您可以完成的工作。寻求帮助是Guidry试图在休斯敦各个级别促进的一种优势。

里格斯说：“能够指导下一代护士和护理领导者可能是我工作中最有意义的部分。”
Riggs describes her leadership style as participatory. “By involving the entire team in identifying opportunities for improvement and for developing strategies for that improvement, the team shares a sense of ownership in the success of the department as a whole,” she said.
当大流行开始时，Riggs的“开门”政策帮助团队过渡到工作中心环境，改变其工作流程，学习远程医疗调度，并确定Covid-19的症状。它还帮助团队在2月冻结期间处理了广泛的停电。
里格斯提名小组的16名成员之一写道：“担心，焦虑和经常生病，全天候打电话。”罗宾在她的方法方面保持镇定和勤奋。她制定了协议和领导培训，以确保团队的每个成员都准备满足这一新需求。”
