Orthopaedic Hospital (IOH), an award-winning, patient-centered hospital
in Indianapolis, IN. She recognized the opportunity cost of maintaining
a manual system where policies were stored on a shared drive and in binders;

treatment of cardiovascular disease. In 2006, the leadership team recognized
the need to replace

and procedures were being reviewed and approved concurrently. This resulted
in confusion, lost productivity and overall ineffectiveness. SVHCI decided
