“A fully digital hospital would not produce or use paper records. It would have digital imaging, order transmission, clinical notes and other aspects of the electronic health record. It would have integrated supply chain management and integrated revenue cycle management.”
David Brailer, MD, PhD National Health Information Technology Coordinator; U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
“Don’t focus on a technical or engineered vision; this process is not comparable to constructing a dam or a building. It can’t be context free – how do you define success? You must build a vision with the technology. The digital hospital must have a care vision and a process vision.”
John Glaser, MD, PhD, VP and CIO; Partners HealthCare System
“A digital hospital means all digital, with EMR, CPOE, PACS and labs that dump into
EMR. A digital hospital should be as paperless and wireless as you can make it.” Brad Bjornstad, MD, CMO; University Community Hospital “A digital hospital needs to be defined in chunks because healthcare is a grouping
of so many different businesses. Typically you try to automate systems from a patient-experience point of view. The digital hospital could be paperless, but many will still have some paper and some film. Either way, it is an iterative process.”
Laureen O’Brien, Regional CIO; Providence Health System
“The digital hospital is an effort, a spectrum, and a concept. It is a process of
managing more by computer and less by manual processes.” Dick Gibson, MD, PhD, CMIO; Providence Health System “A digital hospital is the use of electronic information beyond administrative and
billing purposes – really integrating electronic information into the clinical aspects of the delivery of care. A digital hospital makes use of electronic information to provide the highest quality status and most efficient care possible.”
Suzanne Delbanco, PhD, CEO; The Leapfrog Group
“A digital hospital uses digital technology for communications, tracking and
information flow.” Cindy Slaydon, RN, MSN, CHE, CNO; Centennial Medical Center
