All Wired Up: Summit Captures Pivotal IT Considerations
More than 50 top BWH clinicians, administrators and Information Systems leaders gathered earlier this summer to brainstorm about how the Carl J. and Ruth Shapiro Cardiovascular Center will embrace the most advanced technology.
During the two-session, six-hour summit, caregivers and administrators developed technology priorities focusing on standardized care and patient flow. Partners, BWH and external technology consultants detailed current capabilities and future possibilities.
With eMAR and computerized physician order entry, BWH is considered one of the nation's leading hospitals in applying technology to patient care throughout its distributed campus. The new building is another opportunity for BWH to bring the very latest technology has to offer to the bedside.
“The collective leadership, vision and blueprint from this technology summit will set the standards for care and patient safety for years to come. You can be certain your work here will serve as a model for others to emulate,” said BWH Chief Operating Officer Kate Walsh. Technology priorities for the Shapiro Center include secure, comprehensive and integrated electronic medical records at the point of care.
