Within a few years the IT organization's landscape is a mix of patched-together automation solutions that are unwieldy, outmoded and insufficient for the current environment. The modern alternative to the elemental approach is the "architectural approach." This notion, which crosses the boundaries of physical assets, technologies, geographies and work methods, puts processes and systems first.

And indeed Deaconess is highly automated, running an Epic suite across both its inpatient and ambulatory areas. Epic even stands as the hospital's "legal record," or its official repository in case of lawsuits. It wasn't always that way though. Read More... |
| Job Scheduling at Omaha Children s Hospital - CIO Insight, William Atkinson Over the years, the IT department has engaged in a series of improvements, but the most-revised system during the last several years has been the business intelligence (BI) platform.
