The hospital's challenges were not new. Departments operated in silos, each using different systems for their needs—finance used one platform, inventory another, and patient management yet another. These fragmented systems rarely communicated, leading to data inaccuracies and inefficiencies. Nurses spent precious time hunting down patient records, supply orders were often duplicated or delayed, and billing errors frustrated patients. Despite the best efforts of the staff, the lack of a cohesive solution was causing bottlenecks, threatening the hospital’s mission to deliver high-quality care.
