We have created a Slack channel for our internal ‘SOG Data Source’ communications (https://hcqis.slack.com/archives/C034TKY7ESJ ). Slack is a messaging app where we can have discussions, answer questions, share announcements and respond to ‘SOG Data Source’ requests
We want to use the best communication tools to make our lives easier and be more productive. Having everything in one place will help us work together better and faster. This also helps eliminate redundancies and reduce time spent in meetings. Everything you share in Slack is automatically indexed, creating a searchable archive of all our work.
All SOG staff members (200+ individuals) have access to this channel (NOTE: If not done so already, please request access to CCSQ QualityNet SLACK. Here’s a video walking you through the steps to request access: https://youtu.be/8i0QzzkBoIl). Therefore, below please find a few helpful tips to help us all navigate this process smoothly:
