For the third consecutive year, Baptist Health System (BHS) has made the list of InformationWeek 500, an information technology (IT) publication that analyzes and ranks the most innovative corporate users of IT.
The trade publication examines core areas of operations, including IT budgets, technology deployment, E-business, customer knowledge, infrastructure and strategy.
BHS’s “Early Adopter” arrangement with Siemens’ for its Soarian clinical information system puts it among the first few hospitals in the country- and the first in Alabama- to implement this new system.
Some new applications are already in place to improve information technology in the areas of pharmacy, radiology, medical imaging, patient accounting and medical records. “The end result will be a state-of-the-art information and communication technology environment that is second to none in our markets and among the best in the nation,” said Charles Jones, senior vice president for information resources at BHS.
As the technology and innovations in BHS progress, they will be implemented across the 10-hospital system.
