Southern New Hampshire Health System 2007 - Present

Director of Information Technology

The Southern New Hampshire Health System is a 188 bed integrated delivery

system consisting of 2 hospital locations, Ambulatory Care Services,

Psychiatric hospital, Health & Human Services, and Outpatient services.

With over 450 physicians and over 2500 support staff, Southern New

Hampshire Health System is committed to improve, maintain and preserve the

overall health and well-being of individuals living in the greater Nashua

area by providing information, education and access to exceptional health

care services.

Reporting to the CIO, selected to lead the organization's Information

Technology, architecture, functions, evaluate new vendors and strategic

initiatives in support of a $420M non-profit organization. Currently acting

as the non-official associate CIO/CTO as the current CIO splits his time

50% CIO / 50% Physician. Supporting 2500 employees at 70 medical

practices and 3 major hospital site locations. Manage 18+ direct/indirect

reports. Assisted with the development of the clinical systems strategy

that has incorporated plans for clinical systems including CPOE, EMAR,

nursing documentation and unified web portals. Prepare a fully

accountable multi-site IT budget. Manage organization's daily information

technology needs, that include developing and implementing the

organization's network infrastructure, multi-site data centers,

encompassing local and wide area networking, internet connectivity,

telecommunications, SAN, server / desktop administration, and technology

procurement. Redesigned the SAN, core network, remote access, and virtual

server environment (VMware), to gain efficiency, scalability and cost

savings. Outsourced the Support Center to provide 24x7x365 service.

Prepared and executed service level agreements for critical business

applications. Negotiate and approve contracts agreements with suppliers,

distributors, federal and state agencies, and other organizational

entities.

Selected Achievements:

. Implemented Project Management Workflow - Implemented web-based

project management request system and implemented a formal change

management system (working toward an ITIL work environment).

. Lean Green Belt Training - Reviewing IT related workflows in order to

reduce waste. The goal is to facilitate the design of an improved work

environment that is patient centered, flexible, efficient, and

affordable.

. Support Center Outsourcing (first level only) - Outsourced the 1st

level support center functions to provide a full 24x7x365 support

model. The prior support model consisted of 5 full time employees

supporting only the 1st shift Mon-Fri. Our current ticket volume is

about 2000 events per month. Outsourcing this group has enabled the

organization to save over $78,000 annually.

. Data Storage - Purchased and installed redundant EMC SAN and Dell

EqualLogic environments using DataCore's storage hypervisor design.

Currently managing 600+TB fully automated redundant storage

environments. Also implemented Dell's iSCSI SAN to reduce the cost of

storage of our current SAN architecture. Prior to the Equalogic

arrays we had 250TB+ of 2nd and 3rd tier storage stored on expensive

EMC SAN disks. Implementing this new iSCSI SAN has reduced our

overall cost per GB (2nd and 3rd tier storage only) from $8.25/GB to

$1.50/GB.

. RSA - Working with RSA, I was successful convincing RSA to offer their

Adaptive Authentication solution, to SNHHS, with an affordable cost

structure. RSA has never offered this product to a company our size.

Their normal pricing structure was based on millions of users and not

hundreds of users. This new pricing model will save SNHHS about

$80,000 over the next 5 years and has provided us with 1200 licenses

vs. the current 450 licenses. Prior to this new RSA-Adaptive

Authentication method we used a 2 factor authentication, with physical

tokens and personal pins. This was a costly solution for SNHHS. We

had 450+ tokens for remote access. Most physicians have multiple

tokens for each hospital they work for. Having to carry multiple

tokens was frustrating for the physicians.

. Microsoft's Application Virtualization - Workstation deployment was a

struggle, at SNHHS. We are using VMWare's ThinApp software

virtualization solution to help improve the workstation deployment

process and support. We have created a process that installs software

layers based on security groups. We have a centrally managed solution

for all major software installs. This has helped with security as

only the authorized users will be able to access the software.

. Reorganized departmental structure to improve customer service and

accountability. Customer satisfaction increased over 100% in the

first year. This percentage has been measured using satisfaction

surveys.

. Created, managed and maintained $5M+ IT budget to fund IT initiatives

and maximize investments.

. Analyze operations to evaluate areas of potential cost reduction,

program improvement, or policy changes.

. In 2007, SNHHS had about 25 servers virtualized using VMware. Today

we have over 400 servers virtualized. We are now about 75%+

virtualized. We have used the P-V conversion to replace old hardware

and create a new redundant platform for an older system. Purchased

new hardware for our ESX environment that allows us to have 40:1 ratio

of server per ESX host. The cost savings from replacing old hardware

as paid for the new VM hardware. A single software upgrade project

had $100,000+ savings on hardware because of virtualization. Total

cost savings since the new VM environment has been deployed is almost

$400K.

. Redesigned the current network infrastructure with our Senior Network

Engineer. The prior design was not scalable and lacking the

performance needed for core applications. We now have Cisco Nexus 5000

switches for our SAN and Cisco Nexus 7000's with 10Gig capability.

. Redesigned the WAN. Each one of our remote facilities all had

redundant WAN links that needed to be manually failed over. The new

architecture utilized both circuits in an active/active role and

doubled the capability for each location. Where possible we reduced

the bandwidth needed for each location, for a cost savings of about

$35K per year. Also changed the routing protocol from RIP to a more

efficient routing protocol OSPF.

. The wireless infrastructure was not performing well, when I arrived in

2007. SNHHS had multiple unplanned wireless outages a month. Meet

with a new wireless vendor, Aruba and replaced the Nortel wireless

vendor. Within one month, installed the new wireless network while

the existing network was still in place, we cut over the new network.

We now have 99.99% uptime for the AP's.

. Replaced outdated white/black list proxy server with the Websense

Security Suite. The Websense Security Suite has enabled SNHHS to be

more secure by blocking Malware/Spyware sites. It has also enabled

SNHHS to provide better and more efficient access to reporting for e-

compliance. Negotiated a 75+% discount off of list price with

Websense.

. Re-evaluated and updated disaster recovering operations / business

continuity plans.

. SSO / VDI Rollout- SNHHS has 10+ critical applications that are not AD

integrated. In order to improve ease of use for our software

applications, I proposed the use of a Single Sign On solution.

Evaluated several vendors and selected Healthcast. Benchmark testing

proved a 2 - 5% efficiency gain in productivity for all clinical

staff. This product also has the ability to perform self-service

password resets. Prior to this deployment, 40% of the Support Center

requests were for password resets. This percentage should drop once

SSO is fully enabled throughout the organization. We have also

created a fully redundant VDI solution which we are rolling out with

the SSO solution to allow a roaming workflow. We are about 10%

completed at the moment.

Projects in progress:

. Evaluation of new inpatient and outpatient EMR system - We

are currently using GE Centricity and Siemens Soarian for

our EMR's. We are evaluating both EPIC and Cerner for the

future of our organization. We would like to have a single

solution for both inpatient and outpatient systems.

. BYOD - Currently evaluating several systems for deployment

of a BYOD environment to expand the capabilities of our

providers and employees.

. VoIP -- Spearheading a major project to replace our current

key line system with a more robust and redundant phone

system. We have selected ShoreTel as the VoIP vendor of

choice. We are in the process of implementing all of the

mobility and UC functions of ShoreTel to improve workflows

within the organization.

. RFID and Assessment Management System -- Working with many

other department heads, we are in the RFP process of

evaluating products for workflow improvement and better

assessment management.

. Video Telesitter - We just purchased the Video Telesitter

product from AvaSure. We will be implementing this

technology in 20 of our critical care patient room. We

also have several portable units, which will be used in

less critical care rooms.
