Today, I've posted the FY11 BIDMC IS Operating plan including clinical systems, financial systems, infrastructure, health information management, knowledge services, media services, academic computing, and our community sites.
Highlights include:
Achieving Meaningful Use for 1700 clinicians
Go live of our new suite of laboratory information systems, replacing 13 major applications.
Go live of MyTime - an enterprise labor time tracking solution
Numerous infrastructure upgrades to networking, storage, and security
Rollout of an electronic forms solution throughout the enterprise
Acceleration of our automated scanning project to digitize paper records we receive from outside the institution.
Retirement of all our legacy intranet sites, providing single signon access to all applications and knowledge resources
Continued rollout of streaming and video teleconferencing technologies
Advanced research administration support tools.
Meditech upgrades at our community hospital necessary to achieving meaningful use including CPOE.
The task of building better applications and more reliable infrastructure is never done, but each year we get better and better. This year, we'll be guided by a new omnibus clinical governance committee which I'll write about later this week as part of my FY11 focus on governance at both BIDMC and Harvard Medical School.
The plan is wonderfully concise and clear at the same time. Especially nice is that each focus area lists a leader by name and has bulleted goals that are measurable at the end of the year.
ReplyDeleteSince your blog is public, I have passed on both the plan itself and your blog URL to my former supervisors in the computing and communications group at the university from which I retired last year.
Perhaps, the university already does something similar, but I was just unaware of it, seeing as how I was merely the sysadmin for our research computing cluster.
