a change in the look, it also involved a change of software. The change
elevated the functions we could offer the public and displayed the hospital's
services in a much more professional manner. With the new software, came
cohesion between the consumer website and our employee intranet. It also
provided integration with different products including job application
tracking, a physician portal that allows physicians to see their charts and
read them and online donations. The new
site also provided opportunity for future growth. In early 2012 we will launch a patient portal
which offers patients the opportunity to schedule appointments, obtain their
