Sutter Health Sacramento Sierra Region Launches CarePages Connecting the Hospital, Patients, and their Families

Co-hosted with HIMSS – Tim Hearing, VP & Regional CIO, Lori Thielen, Regional Marketing Director, and Kristin King, Regional Web Master reviews a new approach to communication between the hospital, its patients, and their families and friends.  The personal web pages can be used to post news and updates, exchange messages of support, post contact information, and share photos.  The service helps reduce time consuming calls to nurses in the care unit. Families can use a home computer, or they can use computers in hospital waiting rooms and the library.
