Technology Solutions
UPMC is transforming the delivery of health care through the convergence of clinical practice and information technologies. By blending our deep understanding of health care issues and our technical knowledge, we are revolutionizing both care delivery processes and business operations. Through emerging technologies and strategic partnerships, UPMC is moving digitized information closer to the fingertips of clinicians in treatment rooms and at bedside, as well as delivering diagnostic quality images over hospital networks. This allows seamless electronic access to historical and emerging patient information, and giving patients online access to doctors and disease management tools.
Long respected as a leader in both health care and technology, UPMC has been named to the list of “100 Most Wired” health systems in the United States by the American Hospital Association, for eight years running. In 2006, InformationWeek magazine honored UPMC’s Chief Information Officer as CIO of the Year. Since 2002, UPMC has made the prestigious InformationWeek 500 list of technology innovators for its investment in business technology strategies.
UPMC is using the blending of medicine and technology to pioneer best practices for healthcare with the goal of providing ubiquitous access to patient data irrespective of a clinician’s location.
Currently, plans are in development for global delivery of UPMC’s technology solutions.
