Alexian Brothers Health System signs with Geonetric for Advanced User-Centric Web Initiative
4-state health system advances long-term vision for online presence through a forward-thinking strategic development initiative.
Arlington Heights, IL (PRWEB) April 1, 2006
Alexian Brothers Health System, ranking in the nation's top 1% of hospitals and among the best in 5 specialties, has chosen Geonetric to advance their goal of implementing an advanced, user-centric online presence. The strategic project will include a site redesign and re-architecture that will focus on optimizing site traffic, increasing visitor conversion and providing information organized around key audience needs across the 4-state hospital system. The project’s progression will span the course of 4 years, each quarter continually advancing and refining the overall web strategy, consistently moving the organization towards the goal of offering a full suite of eHealth services.
Alexian Brothers Health System will also integrate a series of interactive patient and employee-centric modules through the use of Geonetric’s revolutionary VitalSiteÒ Content and Site management platform. The strategic planning arm of the project kicked off in January of 2006, with the advanced site content architecture and navigational structure design in March. The project’s goal is to enhance the organization’s faith-based mission by engaging patients and health consumers through a highly interactive site experience, intuitively interrelating content, databased information and interactive features automatically within a user’s context on the site.
“Geonetric’s constant innovation and in-depth knowledge were deciding factors in choosing Geonetric to help the Alexian Brothers create a unique, audience-centric web site,” said Sarah Stannard, Director of E-Health and Library Services at Alexian Brothers Health System.

About Alexian Brothers Health System:

Because they are a Catholic religious community, they take their inspiration from basic Judeo-Christian beliefs, which inspired their founders and still govern the ministry. From the opening of their first Chicago hospital in 1866, to their present and their future, they have cherished but one goal: to promote the physical, mental and spiritual well-being of all who come to them.
