| Don't Underestimate Your Infrastructure | CIO, Carol Cotter had a bit of an advantage in developing the infrastructure for Lifespan, a not-for-profit healthcare company based in Providence, Rhode Island. Lifespan is the result of a 1994 merger between Rhode Island Hospital and Miriam Hospital. Some key ideas for the IT strategic plan of the merged hospitals came out of a three-day retreat,in which all the stakeholders were present: researchers, payers, physicians, patients, their families, administrators, employees, even competitors. The group spent time thinking about what healthcare would look like in 2010, and from those thoughts, created a vision of the future for the company's infrastructure. |
