Given that Stanford offers many content creation choices to authors and editors Interwoven TeamSite, with its open-architecture, was the perfect choice for Stanford University Medical Center. With several existing databases, such as a database of all the physicians with their profiles, and a database of clinical trials in the cancer center, Stanford needed a system that would allow easy integration of database content with other Web content such as multimedia, graphics and text. Interwoven TeamSite will also allow Stanford to leverage all of its content assets regardless of where they reside, in a database or file system. Even with a large number of people contributing to the Web site, content will be timely and relevant while at the same time reducing the wait and cost associated with providing this information over the phone. With the multidisciplinary approach to care practiced in both hospitals, several specialists provide care to a single patient.
Content is created from various specialty areas that collaborate to create information.
Workflows, job assignment and approval, will help expedite the content flow by reducing bottlenecks leading to a more dynamic Web experience for the end user. Stanford Hospitals and Clinics will launch their site, utilizing Interwoven TeamSite, this summer. Lucile Packard Children's Hospital will convert its current Web site to the TeamSite content management solution at the same time. Future versions of the two Web sites will provide additional information tailored for established patients and referring physicians.
