Improving Community Hospital Performance is Our Specialty

Why Information Technology is Vital to Your Organization’s Health

Forward-thinking community hospital CEOs are recognizing that IT solutions don’t exist in a vacuum but can in fact help advance their organization’s goals. Conversely, they also know that out-of-date IT (including inefficient on-premise systems) can hold a hospital back from getting where it needs to go. 

We’re providing these CEOs (and their IT directors) with a roadmap for IT transformation for the future that also enhances hospital performance today.

Case Study

Rural hospital leverages federal funding to save on telecom services, provide better care: Yoakum Community Hospital, Yoakum, TX

YCH needed to be up 24-7 with reliable connections and redundant circuits in case of a primary system failure. CHC leveraged federal funding for IT upgrades including high-speed internet and disaster recovery. Citing improvements in patient care as well as operational and financial performance, hospital CFO John Olivares calls the upgrades a “quantum leap forward” for the 23-bed critical access hospital.
