Basically what [they] wanted was to be able to break down all of the barriers that existed in terms of communication within the organization. They wanted to be able to appeal to the lead doctors and senior management in terms of trying to put a plan together that would allow them to provide better care to their patients, like … bedside medication verification (which ensures through barcode technology that the right patients get the right medications with the proper dosages). That was something that was needed but they didn't have the right network infrastructure or clinical devices in place to drive an initiative like that.
