The 90-minute program on CD-ROM provides a cost-effective way to gather your key staff in a conference room to listen to this important information.

Get a practical, real-world overview of how healthcare organizations (HCOs) are using their Intranets to maximize efficiencies, reduce costs and improve the bottom line.

An expert panel of speakers, healthcare executives who are responsible for their organization's intranet, has been assembled to describe just what they have achieved thus far in their intranet. Get a review of the range of services being offered to staff members and providers. And you’ll get the details on how these applications are impacting the bottom line of their organization.

Learn from the problems and hurdles they had to overcome. Avoid the pitfalls, and discover what is working for these organizations.

Presentations by:

• Natalie Kaszubowski, Corporate Director of Clinical Resources and Revenue of Sentara Information Technology at Sentara Healthcare will cover how Sentara has begun a strategic initiative to transform its business by leveraging web-based technologies to integrate disparate information and data and deploy self-service applications to meet our customers needs. Our goal is to create a "smart" organization that can dynamically react to changing business and clinical imperatives. Learn the approach that Sentara is taking to turn business critical data into a knowledge based structure required to deploy role based web applications.
• Martin Watson, vice president with First Consulting Group (FCG) where he leads the firm’s eConsulting Practice on the east coast and Midwest. FCG has assisted its clients, including Empire Blue Cross Blue Shield, Premera Blue Cross, PacifiCare and Blue Cross of Minnesota, with their Intranet and web strategies. Watson will discuss how leading healthcare companies like these are using the latest technologies to improve business process efficiencies.
• Glen Campbell, web services manager at PeaceHealth, a Bellevue, Wa-based healthcare system, will cover how PeaceHealth developed an intranet to provide employees and affiliated physicians with ready access to information, to enhance communication, and to support process improvement.
