LACONIA — The Health Information Resource Center (HIRC) recently awarded LRGHealthcare with a Bronze Web Health Award for their new HospitalPortal.NET Intranet portal. This intranet portal provides health care facilities with a way to manage specific documents and information in an easy and direct way. The intranet portal was launched in 2010, with the main objective to improve overall communication and collaboration throughout organization, while reducing the use of paper and the cost of printing. Previously, LRGHealthcare had been solely reliant on e-mails, inter-office memos or phone calls to disseminate information.
Each year an annual Web Health AwardsSM is presented to honor the nation's top health care providers that best use digital health resources. The competition evaluates and judges content, design and user experience of each hospital's intranet. A panel of health technology professionals served as judges and selected LRGHealthcare among more than 500 entries to receive an award.
'Over the past two years we have saved thousands in paper costs, as well as the staffs time thanks to our intranet. We are honored to receive this award; it is affirmation of our commitment to forward technology." said LRGHealthcare Chief Information Officer Kevin Irish.
