A provincial hospital network |
|
| |
| |
|
|
Transform a provincial hospital network to meet new government financial performance targets by providing efficient IT services, and a comprehensive suite of application software. |
|
| |
| |
|
|
|
In 1999 a provincial government changed their assessment criteria in terms of how hospitals would be funded |
|
Hospitals had to find new ways to become more efficient and accountable |
|
Each hospital had their own IT department, a multitude of suppliers, and a wide range of hardware, software, communications and processes |
|
Individually and collectively they were very inefficient |
|
|
| |
| |
|
|
|
CGI has an enviable track record transforming corporate IT departments |
|
CGI had considerable healthcare management experience |
|
CGI was capable of providing a healthcare industry specific solution |
|
|
| |
| |
|
|
|
CGI personnel familiarized themselves with the changes in healthcare funding and approached ‘alpha’ hospital with a proposal to transform their IT department and patient management software |
|
‘Alpha’ hospital agreed and CGI took over their IT department, standardized and upgraded hardware, and provided software solutions to manage business processes and administration, finance procurement and logistics as well as patient management - entirely adapted for this specific provincial healthcare market |
|
Once the first hospital was transformed, 35 other hospitals and 3 health regions also joined |
|
|
| |
| |
|
|
As a result of the IT savings and business process efficiencies, hospitals that underwent transformation were able to maximize funds available for the improvement of overall patient care.
Ongoing benefits include the fact that:
|
These hospitals no longer have to bear the cost or responsibility of maintaining IT departments and related systems |
|
Hospitals are able to meet government funding criteria and have higher quality real time information with which to make day to day decisions and improve their patient management |
|
Hospitals are spending considerably less for better IT and are able to redirect those savings in order to deliver improved patient care, purchase new hospital equipment and attract more funding |
|
One teaching hospital’s cost performance, as evaluated by government financial performance criteria, went from worst to best after their transformation |
