IT Implementation

This IT implementation occurred in 1996/1997 at the RHCFI, a three-site healthcare facility with 130 beds, $17 Million/year budget, centered in Fort Frances, Ontario. Heron Technology Corp. (HTC) led a group of nine vendors [initially], and implemented a hospital-wide IT system based on a multi-vendor/middleware approach.

The initial cost was approximately 50% of the single-vendor quotations submitted, and individual department managers were able to select application software modules to address their departmental needs - and within their departmental budget.

The fundamental selection criteria were:

• Does the product have the required USER FUNCTIONALITY?
• Is the cost within the DEPARTMENTAL/HOSPITAL BUDGET?
