Enhanced platforms to improve engagement and experience for the patient, physician, and entire clinical staff.
The Healthcare industry is experiencing a major change in the way they leverage technology in part due to the recent approval of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), which seeks to provide more affordable care to everyone. The ACA mandates the use of cutting edge technology solutions that provide interoperability and patient engagement in order to accomplish the desired goals.
The ACA is mandating interoperability and better patient engagement; it is not mandating that the healthcare industry reinvent the wheel. The technology already exists and has reached critical mass in many other industries – namely Drupal. Rather than build massive, closed, complex, and expensive systems, we can leverage the power of Drupal to make the Health IT systems…healthier.
Ultimately, we’re all patients and we all deserve better care than the chaotic, proprietary and unconnected system we experience today.

Drupal is being used by a number of major Healthcare related companies from Florida Hospitals, WellPoint, Dexcom, and Alliance Imaging. The problems that face the Healthcare industry are complex and require extremely powerful technology. Luckily, Drupal’s extensibility gives it the strength to achieve and comply with the desired outcomes of the ACA - from patient engagement, physician satisfaction, all the way to interoperability between EMR systems. This can eventually provide a more efficient healthcare system, cost savings, and better care.
Here are some Drupal successes in Healthcare:
- WellPoint builds award winning Drupal Intranet.
- Florida Hospitals integrates 22 campuses on one Drupal platform to improve patient experience and care across Florida.
- Dexcom uses Drupal to extend Oracle Database and increase medical device re-orders by 300%.
- Alliance Imaging reaches over 500 Physicians and securely sends 1M+ images a year using a Drupal portal solution.
