IBM Takes Memorial Health Online

Memorial Health System has selected IBM’s hardware, software and services, as part of its plan to bring medical records online and provide physicians with real-time access to medical information.
Memorial’s new system, built on IBM Content Manager, captures data electronically and serves as an integrated clinical information system by supporting financial operations and human resources in addition to clinical operations.
“Seconds count in a medical trauma situation,” said John Slack, Memorial Health System’s chief medical officer. “Electronic medical records provide physicians with access to information where they need it, allowing them to make more informed decisions about patient care.”
