SharePoint in Healthcare

For those who may be doubting that SharePoint has any place in healthcare (or even referring to it as “ScarePoint”), here is a list of healthcare organizations using SharePoint to power both their public website and intranet:

Both Public and Private Sites

Intranets

  • Partners Healthcare
  • Mayo Health System
  • VA Desert Pacific
  • VA Saint Louis
  • University of Illinios – Chicago
  • UMHS – Family and Community Medicine

Something tells me that if Cleveland Clinic, Partners, Mayo, SSM, and the VA are using SharePoint, then it must have some legs.  What is holding others back?  How can barriers be addressed?

Oh, one more things….SharePoint is HIPAA compliant.  What?  Yea!  You’re move, Healthcare.

Hi,
I found your blog in a google search. What is the source for your info on the use of Sharepoint on internal healthcare sites? Also, is there any research on how SharePoint itself is HIPAA compliance?

Baptist Health of South Florida also leverages SharePoint. This case study elaborates on their use: http://www.repliweb.com/downloads/pdf/success_stories/RepliWeb_ROSS_CaseStudy_Baptist_Health.pdf
