Recognizing the importance of a leading-edge IT strategy in the delivery of quality patient care, UMC initiated an effort to standardize on a single integration platform for its many discrete patient care and financial systems, and to eliminate one of the two outdated interface engines in the Medical Center. Through the deployment of the SeeBeyond ICAN Suite, UMC expects to gain efficiencies through the use of a fully supported, standards-based integration suite, while preserving its existing interfaces until the upgrade is complete. UMC also expects to gain a more predictable cost structure for future development -- something not available with the current interfaces, as well as the opportunity to leverage the market availability of Java developers. "The SeeBeyond implementation and interface migration project drives both initial and long term value for the UMC medical facility and enhances our ability to provide consistent and high quality patient care," said Kevin Burns Kevin Burns is the creator and executive producer of nearly five-hundred hours of non-fiction and documentary television programs.

The implementation also provides UMC with the ability to enable electronic medical records consistent with federal initiatives to support a National Health Information Network of interoperable systems for healthcare delivery. The ultimate goal of this effort is to provide improved healthcare through unified single patient views, longitudinal patient medical records and the electronic prescribing of medication. "This is a very exciting time in the healthcare industry, driven by the goal of a nationwide medical record infrastructure and the need for readiness on the part of individual medical facilities," said Wayne Owens Douglas Wayne Owens (May 2 1937 – December 18, 2002) was a member of the United States House of Representatives for Utah's 2nd congressional district from 1973 to 1975 and again from 1987 to 1993. , general manager of Healthcare for SeeBeyond.
