Edwards County Hospital takes control of internal communications with new intranet
Tuesday, 31st July 2012

Rather than the full bells and whistles of a Sharepoint, the hospital opted for a system designed for health care. The result was a successful implementation that managers and line staff feel comfortable with and which fully meets the hospital's needs for streamlined communication, management of policies and procedures and schedule management, among other applications.
