title: Intranets are the key to new database strategies.
abstract: Health care organizations are finding that easy-to-use intranets can improve access to data. Because intranets are easier to navigate than other networks--and often less expensive--many provider and payer organizations are reorienting their database plans. But some organizations move too fast with new plans and have difficulty standardizing enterprisewide data, threatening intranet viability.
