With the grand opening of the USF Health South Tampa Center for Advanced Healthcare just weeks away, faculty orientations and customer service training began July 9th. During the entire month, sessions are planned to train the hundreds of USF Health faculty and staff who will be working at the new facility on the campus of Tampa General Hospital.

"Move Meetings" for faculty and staff are scheduled from August 8 - September 12th. Faculty and staff will learn details involved in the physical move to the new facility. Among the topics, phone contacts, transfer of computer equipment, what office items and how to pack them, as well as how to interface with representatives from the moving company.

In his letter to faculty and staff, Richard Green, MBA, Chief Operating Officer of the Centers for Advanced Healthcare said "We're transforming Healthcare and YOU are at The Center!" Green, who was recently named Executive Director of USF Physicians Group, has been holding town hall meetings about the $33 million construction project since 2006.

Among the unique attributes of the USF Health South Tampa Center for Advanced Healthcare is the Electronic Medical Records (EMR) system. With EMR, patients don't have to fill out any paperwork; and they can request appointments, send email messages to doctors and request prescriptions online. The Center will also provide concierge customer service. In line with USF Health's multidisciplinary approach, the Center will combine professionals from all three colleges of medicine, nursing and public health to focus on the entire continuum of health- from birth to end-of-life issues, from treatment to prevention.
