Northwest Medical Center has grown rapidly in recent years. In addition to the core hospital facility, Northwest Medical Center now operates clinics in two counties, a separate home health agency, and a jointly managed hospice program. The challenge was to tie all of these facilities together electronically so that they could share information quickly and easily - while maintaining compliance with new HIPAA privacy regulations. Working together, Sun Microsystems and Creative Healthcare Systems have designed and delivered an affordable, state-of-the-art solution for Northwest Medical Center in rural Missouri. And today, Northwest Medical Center's patients, nurses, doctors, and administrators all agree on one thing: the quality of patient care is better than ever.
