Einstein Physicians
UPDATE
A Message from Dr. Sivak
President, Einstein Physicians Philadelphia Happy May to all of you! We’ve had a lot to celebrate at Einstein and throughout the Jefferson enterprise over the past month with Nurses Week, Hospital Week and Einstein Week. We are incredibly fortunate to have such an amazing team of dedicated nurses and staff who continue to go above and beyond to deliver quality care to our patients. Their compassion and commitment are extraordinary, and we owe them a debt of gratitude for their selflessness and strength particularly over the past two years. I’d also like to recognize the 116 physicians from across the Einstein Network and MossRehab who were selected as Top Doctors in the May 2022 issue of Philadelphia Magazine. As Ken Levitan noted, “This past year continued to be challenging with COVID-19 and the changes in patient care that came with the pandemic. We congratulate and thank our Top Docs and our entire staff for their hard work, dedication, and resiliency.” Click here for the full list of Top Docs. As we move from pandemic COVID to endemic COVID, we are hopeful that our volumes and patient care activities will return to normal. We took this into account as we completed the budgeting process for FY 23. This was our first budgeting year as a Division of Jefferson Medical Group and since the processes for Einstein were almost identical, integration into the Jefferson budgeting system was seamless. As we fully integrate with Jefferson, please be aware of the following: ■
You must obtain a Jefferson ID but be sure to keep your Einstein ID since you will need this for access on the Einstein campus.
■
We will be moving from Kronos to the Jefferson time keeping system MyTime in late June. After this switchover, physicians and APCs will no longer be required to swipe in each day. PTO will be tracked differently. Please stay tuned for this transition date and continue to swipe until then.
I sincerely hope that you are able to spend quality time with your family as the summer season begins and I am grateful for the hard work of our physicians and staff over these past grueling two years. Please enjoy the May edition of the Einstein Physician Update, which includes: ■
