Transform Awarded Contract to Develop New Internet Experience for Lancaster General

Feb. 10, 2009 - PRLog -- ATLANTA, GA – Transform, a management and technology consulting firm, announced today that it has been awarded a contract to develop a new internet experience for Lancaster General’s cardiovascular service line.

Transform was initially engaged last year to develop a Web strategy and business plan focused on developing web 2.0 features such as communities and enhanced multimedia features, enhanced physician search functionality, and, ultimately, integrating Lancaster General’s EMR.  In this next phase, Transform will work with Lancaster General to confirm and finalize the strategic plan, develop a cardiovascular prototype, and deploy the new cardiovascular website.  This project will then be leveraged for each of Lancaster General’s subsequent service lines.

“Lancaster General has been recognized as having one of the top cardiovascular programs in the country,” said Dale Boylston, Managing Partner of Transform Healthcare, “and we are excited to partner with them in the development of this next generation cardiovascular experience.  We believe that it is vital for Lancaster General to create an online experience for developing a virtual relationship with consumers in the community, and providing a means for them to communicate with each other and share their personal healthcare experiences.  This will ultimately translate to long-lasting relationships with the community as consumers become patients and life-long members of the extended Lancaster General family.”
