Working with partners key component
Campbellford Memorial Hospital has a long-term information technology strategic plan.
Quality of patient care, patient and staff education, improved access to information, increased efficiency and enhanced clinical decision support are among the key goals.
The future was revealed to the hospital’s board of directors recently as Healthtech IT consultant Bruce Pye presented the details of a phased-in plan to build up, improve and maintain the hospital’s high-tech information infrastructure.
“We went to the market place to get somebody to help us develop a tactical plan, and we selected Healthtech,” said hospital president and CEO Brad Hilker, calling the plan “a road map for us to follow.”
Pye said the time-frame for implementing the plan’s goals and objectives would be about five years. “Generally we’re talking about making what you have on paper electronic in a safe way that adds some clinical decision support to it as we go along,” he said.
