Group Health's $100 million automation initiative.
Group Health Cooperative of Puget Sound, a large regional health maintenance organization in the Pacific Northwest, is so convinced that automation holds the key to improved patient care that it plans to spend $100 million on new information systems in the next five years. A shift to computerized patient records will place clinical practice guidelines at doctors' fingertips. And a wide variety of other functions will be automated, including claims processing.
