Summary
Artesia General Hospital in rural New Mexico has elected to maintain its IT systems on-premise due to local internet connectivity issues, recently expanding its onsite data center to support long-term high-quality patient care. CIO Eric Jimenez advocates for optimizing existing systems with input from various stakeholders instead of replacing them, emphasizing collaboration with legacy vendors and effective communication across departments. This approach not only reduces costs and saves time but also enhances workflows by centering the patient journey in technology implementation, ensuring that IT solutions align with community needs and operational requirements.
