East Ohio Regional Hospital Website Development
Find out how Uplancer provided a common-sense solutions to complicated problems at a regional hospital.
The Background
East Ohio Regional Hospital (EORH) was founded in 1906 by local physician Dr R.H. Wilson. In its humble beginnings, it had only five physicians and 30 beds. Today, the healthcare facility in downtown Martins Ferry, Ohio boasts 140 beds. It has expanded its services gradually over the years and integrated new state-of-the-art facilities. Continuing to provide exceptional, compassionate healthcare, EORH serves families in the community and beyond
After closing their doors, EORH was reopening them to the public and needed a complete website build. And so, John Johnson, Chief Executive Officer, turned to Uplancer to relaunch the hospital’s online platform to help restore client convenience and save precious time.
The Challenge: Rebuilding a Website That Restores Convenience
- Lots of moving parts: Patients have always been at the forefront of everything that EORH does. To keep up with their patient needs, EORH required a marketing website that would not only integrate with a number of patient services, such as electronic medical records and customer relation management systems, but also work without interruptions.
- Marketing challenge: EORH’s marketing team needed a solution that offered ease of use when updating the marketing marketing site. This solution needed to allow enough flexibility to make such updates while blocking updates on certain pages.
- Growing IT needs: IT had their hands full; among other things, they were busy setting up technologies around patient care, such as personal health information access and protection. Any proposed solution would have to navigate through their busy workload.
