Geonetric, one of the leading healthcare web technology companies, was featured in a recent article published by HCPro on Collaborative Board Extranets. The article, “Creating a Collaborative Extranet for your boards,” was written by Larry Stevens and published in the July 2005 issue of Healthcare Market Strategist. Ben Dillon, Vice President of Strategic Services and Healthcare Practice Director at Geonetric, was personally interviewed for the piece. Geonetric developed their own custom healthcare board extranet solution for Genesis Health System in 2002 and has many new clients looking to implement the software in the next few years.
Collaborative Board Extranets are the latest method for hospital board members to improve communication and centralize document delivery, while still working remotely. "The culture of boards has changed thanks to the series of public oversight failures that we have seen over the past few years. The result is that boards are more professional, more engaged, and more involved than in the past,” says Dillon. “Board members are asked to do more overall, and these are very busy people to begin with. It is important for our organizations to start providing tools to help them work more efficiently."
These new online workspaces where board members receive important hospital information, communicate with each other, and collaborate on documents, are also being used in other aspects of healthcare organizations, including internal committee management, project management, and innovation collaboration. The topic was also highlighted at GeonetricÂ’s May Webinar, "Collaborative Board Extranets: Creating virtual meeting centers to improve organization efficiency and transparency ", on May 24th and 31st at 2:00 pm CST.
