Kicking off the New Year, BWH has unveiled its first intranet site for information on hospital events. The new intranet site is updated daily and includes the most recent issues of
Bulletin
and
Professional Staff Update
, as well as links to benefit, training, and Perks program information. The site is accessible at
http://healthcare.partners. org/bwhintranet
. “We understand that communication is fundamental to our mission and is essential to creating a shared culture,” said Chief Operating Officer Matt Van Vranken. “BWH Pike Notes will offer employees an interactive site to check out the latest hospital news and provide us feedback on key issues.” In addition to information about hospital events, the site offers daily news articles about BWH and the healthcare industry. The site also features information on current research studies and hospital statistics, as well as a feedback area where employees can submit confidential comments or Town Meeting questions. Once Pike Notes is accessed by the user for the first time, it can be saved on a computer as a favorite file. By dragging the file over to the welcome screen, an icon will be created to allow for instant access in the future. “We developed BWH Pike Notes as a means to broaden our ability to convey important information to our staff and employees,” said Chief Public Affairs Officer Vin Petrini. “As our organization grows more complex, it becomes more important to offer information to employees in an easily accessible format.” Bulletin now has its own e-mail address.
