How can the Web be used to house mission-critical treatment protocols and share that data efficiently with affiliates across a large health network?

The Answer: Cirring Corporate Xtra-net
Critical information is now available to Network members via the Web. The password-protected Web site allows member organizations to distribute treatment protocols, clinical pathways, and information regarding educational opportunities for health care professionals. The site offers multiple levels of security, insuring that while all Network members have access to the data, only those with the appropriate privileges and passwords can edit or add content.

The site integrates an on-line calendar listing continuing educational programs available from member hospitals. Users search for programs by subject, key word, and sponsoring hospitals. The calendar content is edited through user-friendly forms that are submitted via any browser.

The Bottom Line
Through the website, RWJHN automates a significant portion of the distribution of data throughout their network of health care organizations. The site has created a virtual community, improving the sense of connectedness between its members, as well as conveying to the public the vast network of health care professionals that are part of RWJHN.
