We now live in the "knowledge economy." The competitiveness of health care providers depends on the use of information technology to streamline clinical and business operations. Web-based enterprise information portals provide a solution to many of the information management complexities of the health care industry. A Web-based enterprise portal is a user-centric framework which enables efficient and effective information management by an organization. A portal provides an infrastructure for tightly integrated and fully functional components. Portals apply Internet technology and a standard Web browser interface, to allow users from across and outside the enterprise access to information. The portal framework allows legacy systems to integrate with "best of breed" applications to meet the specific needs of all the stakeholders in an organization.
