As a result of work through the Care Data consortium in cooperation with Iowa Methodist and University of Chicago Hospitals, Methodist has implemented: an open systems integration strategy, a clinical repository, and clinician-centric access and distribution of information. The Care Data consortium gave rise to a new breed of automation that meets the needs of both ends of the clinical automation spectrum: migrating an integrated, single-vendor solution to an open systems integrated repository to users of a distributed, best-of-breed approach.
