Toronto, Canada (PRWEB) June 7, 2004 -
– Panorama Business Views announced today that St. Thomas Elgin General Hospital (STEGH) has implemented pbviews to automate its Balanced Scorecard Solution. Serving the City of St. Thomas and the County of Elgin in southwestern Ontario, STEGH saw the need to ensure that its Performance Management initiative could address the concerns of a growing constituency and all operations of the hospital performed accurately and efficiently.
By automating their Balanced Scorecard, STEGH will achieve three objectives. Firstly, they will be able to streamline their current Performance Management initiative into a centralized system, allowing hospital management to use pbviews as a 'Hospital Information System'. Secondly, pbviews will empower their VPs, Directors and Managers with the information necessary to make informed decisions using only up-to-date data. Thirdly, automating their Balanced Scorecard will allow STEGH to reduce the number of reports and ad-hoc meetings they have, by allowing executives to view only the information they want to see with the use of Briefing Books, a feature specific to pbviews.
Malcolm Hopkins, VP Finance and Information Services at St. Thomas Elgin General Hospital, said: "The automation of our quality utilization and measurement indicators using pbviews is an important step in our vision to be the best community hospital in Ontario. In the complex world of healthcare, the pbviews software will help keep us focused on what’s important and enable us to drill down to the source of problems. It helps us to focus on clarity of definition so that we all speak the same language – problem solving becomes so much easier when we are all looking at the same information!"
"St. Thomas Elgin General Hospital has distinguished itself as a leader of Performance Management in hospitals in the province of Ontario", said Mike Tipping, President and CEO, Panorama Business Views. "By automating their Balanced Scorecard, they have shown their commitment to patient care, quality service and an efficient operation. pbviews is proud to be a contributing part of this initiative."
