Cleveland Clinic Foundation November

1998–January 2010

A

pioneer of internet-based medicine, Cleveland Clinic offers online second opinions

and other services through eClevelandClinic (http://eclevelandclinic.org)

Manager of Development for eCleveland Clinic

Responsible for a team of developers, analysts, and Help Desk

personnel. Indirect responsibility for

two nurses and a medical secretary in the Clinical Operations department. Experience with Epic, Cadence, Prelude,

Epiccare Link, and Epic Web.

(eCleveland Clinic is

a web-based portal for patients and physicians)

MyChart gives patients access via the web to

test results, appointments, and health reminders

MyConsult allows users, from anywhere in the

world, to request a second opinion online, giving users the opportunity to have

a world-class hospital review their diagnosis and treatment

DrConnect gives referring doctors

access to their patient’s medical record online to improve care and follow-up

After a cost benefit analysis of our website

and development costs, moved these

responsibilities in-house, saving over $30,000/year and reducing development

time on requests by 40%

By improving customer support and system

performance, increased the user base for the DrConnect product from less than

1,000 active users to over 4,000 active users. This provided an increase in referral revenue of over $2M annually

By eliminating failure points and automating

manual tasks, performance of the Second Opinion software was improved to allow

for a 50% increase in active requests without an increase in staff, eliminating

the need for two additional FTE positions

Implemented a monitoring system for over 40

internal websites and web services which allowed us to maintain, and document,

a 99.9+% uptime. This monitor was

implemented both internally and externally to quickly identify external

router/firewall issues. Total cost of

monitoring is less than $1,200/year

Simplified the interface process to eliminate

third-party processing of Second Opinion transcripts, saving over $10,000/year

while eliminating failure points

Implemented cross-training procedure,

requiring developers to spend 2-3 days in Clinical Operations to observe how

users are using their software, and to identify an annual project based on this

visit

Implemented a project to give auditors remote

access to specific patient medical records. This reduced audit time by 30%, and saved over $250,000

Actively implemented open-source software,

saving thousands of dollars per year in both software and annual maintenance

fees – Bugzilla, Open Office, Twiki, Linux, Apache, VNC, Crafty Syntax Live Help

Piloted co-browsing via Bomgar, to improve support

functionality allowing the support team to quickly see what the user sees

Piloted a tokenless two-factor authentication

process which calls a users cell-phone as part of the sign-on process

Implemented VMWare software to create virtual

pc’s for testing websites using any operating system/browser combination. This expense was easily offset by the ease of

quickly creating a virtual pc, without the need for operating/maintain physical

hardware
