title: Putting clinical & financial reports on line.
abstract: Healthcare Informatics has been following the progress of Sarasota Memorial Hospital's search for IT solutions with great interest--ever since the hospital innovative "Sarasota Summit" held in May 1994. Now, two years after the legendary brainstorming session among 10 of the nation's top healthcare CIOs--attended by more than 250 hospital personnel, consultants and members of the press and general public--SMH is busily implementing new components of the hospital's resulting information system redesign. On the following pages, SMH Vice President and CIO Jim Turnbull describes the hospital's new centralized electronic repository for information from medical records and patient accounting. Watch for another update soon as Healthcare Informatics continues to observe SMH's transition as influenced by Turnbull's unique approach to information system selection.
