Designed for Small & Rural Hospitals
A fully featured, modern Intranet and Policy Manager that no longer requires a large hospital budget.
Our products are utilized by over 200 hospitals (and over 300,000 daily users) across the country—most of which are small and rural hospitals or smaller healthcare organizations. The clients that come to us are looking to streamline hospital communication across their staff, physicians, and partners or a replacement to a SharePoint intranet.
We quickly show them how easy it is to seamlessly share calendars and events, publish internal education and training resources, distribute confidential departmental information, and organize, publish, and manage hospital policies, protocols, forms and contracts all from one centralized location. HospitalPORTAL is the only Intranet with an integrated Policies and Procedures component built-in. The Policy Management system is also available as a standalone product too.
Our solution is an out-of-the box solution specifically designed with small and rural hospitals in mind. The components of our content management system were meticulously assembled to meet the vital day-to-day communication needs of highly-regulated healthcare environments. Specialized components such as On-Call Scheduling Manager, Emergency Preparedness, Policy Manager, and Directories fill the acute needs of every hospital environment while the Intranet functions as a central repository for diverse resources, and a workspace for collaboration and social networking for specific groups and departments around the hospital.
Robb Gardner, CEO of Henry County Health Center (a 25 bed acute care hospital with 49 bed long-term facility in Southeast IA), talks about HospitalPORTAL’s impact on his rural hospital in his interview conducted by the National Rural Health Association.
HEALTHCARE-SPECIFIC FEATURES
New features and custom development at HospitalPORTAL are based on needs identified by our rural hospital clients through enhancement requests.

Our team will guide you around potential problem areas and recommend best practices we have gained from implementing Intranets in small and rural hospitals across the country. We bring an in-depth understanding of the idiosyncrasies of healthcare along with solutions to the common challenges small, rural hospitals may face. Expert consulting and guidance is available to simplify the tricky issues from strategy and governance to information security and privacy concerns.

EASY TO USE
By offering a system that is sophisticated on the back-end, yet simple on the front-end, HospitalPORTAL’s Intranet is easy to use even by staff with minimal tech-savviness. This same setup allows non-technical departmental staff to manage content themselves without the need to involve IT resources.
PROVEN
We have over 65 Rural Hospitals as clients. We have proven this solution with those clients, and since 1999, we have maintained a 99.5% client retention rate. The only time we lose a client is when a smaller hospital gets acquired.
AFFORDABLE
Our solutions are attainable with a small hospital budget and minimal impact on IT and hospital staff during the implementation phases. We make it possible for small and rural hospitals to utilize sophisticated features and robust functionality in an affordable and comprehensive package that does not require extensive implementation and customized efforts.

DECENTRALIZED CONTENT MANAGEMENT
HospitalPORTAL makes it easy for departmental managers to manage their own content. An Intranet is only as robust as its content. By specifically making content editing simple for the end users, there is no need for IT staff to step in to make changes which can be difficult with other customized Intranet solutions like Sharepoint. Our solution encourages involvement from your departmental contributors so information stays current, fresh and relevant and easily shared across multiple facilities and staff.

Our comprehensive hospital policy management system addresses even the most complex policy approvals and routing requirements. Our system can automate and track the entire lifecycle of a document. With auto-archiving and elaborate version controls, your policies will stay up-to-date so you can meet the large hospital legal requirements pressed upon you.
The Policy Manager can be used as a stand-alone product alongside your existing Intranet or it can be integrated within the HospitalPORTAL Intranet platform making it easy to centralize all communications, alerts, and tasks. Our integrated and robust search platform allows users to find hospital information, documents, and policy repositories quickly and easily so your staff can remain compliant and offer the best possible care to patients. With read acknowledgement features, you can track employee attestation to be sure they have read the latest updates to any policy or protocol.
CONTRACTS AND BUSINESS ASSOCIATE AGREEMENTS MANAGEMENT
The HospitalPORTAL P&P components can be repurposed for use with hospital and physician contracts and business associate agreements (BAAs). You can easily set viewing rights for confidential access. Expiration of contracts up for review can use email notification reminders. All documents can be tagged with additional keywords (term of contract, how much, vendor contract) and so on. Revision history can be exported and reviewed annually too.
FORMS AND WORKFLOW BUILDER
HospitalPORTAL’s Forms and Workflow builder allows for the creation of online fillable forms and routing workflows for departmental and hospital-wide uses. All submitted forms can have a workflow attached which will alert the appropriate staff to take action on a form item. This makes for seamless workflow and can replace paper-based tasks keeping all communication in one, central location.
SECURITY
Flexible security and comprehensive authentication frameworks are available so your organization can seamlessly integrate our products with the hospital’s Active Directory. This allows for more control over user access and editing and viewing rights. By installing our solutions on your hospital server, you get a very secure portal that achieves the IT security standards of your organization.

Intranet Software for Ambulatory Surgery Centers
Ambulatory Surgery Centers (otherwise known as ASCs) are transforming the way consumers and patients receive same-day care. These modern health care facilities are focused on providing an alternative to outpatient surgical care, diagnostic and preventive procedures. The convenience of these types of healthcare centers has gained awareness among consumers throughout the U.S. With this recognition and consistent growth, it is no surprise that keeping ambulatory surgery center communications streamlined and managing policies, procedures, and standards is an important objective to maintaining high-quality care at these unique facilities. Information Technology is extremely important to the effectiveness of an ambulatory surgery center. HospitalPORTAL offers an Intranet and Policy Management System to assist you in maintaining your organization’s technology infrastructure.
Today’s ASCs have many of the same challenges as hospitals. Connecting staff, physicians and management across multiple surgical centers, managing standards and protocols, and training and educating staff are priorities for these alternative healthcare facilities.
HospitalPORTAL has been working with hospitals and healthcare organizations since 1999. Our healthcare-featured Intranet software supports many of the vital and critical business processes of an ASC. By utilizing an Intranet and Policy Management system, ASCs can streamline their clinical and business operations, and enhance their bottom line all while remaining compliant with the ever-evolving regulatory criteria they are faced with.
Advantages to ASCs:
- Digital Policy Management
- Maintaining Accreditation
- Regulatory Compliance
- Risk Management
- Crisis Management
- Physician On Call Scheduling
- Physician Directories
- Physician Portals
- News Distribution
- Training and Education
- Contract Management
- Event Management
How do ASCs compete with hospital-based care and stay relevant in communities?
In order to stay relevant and competitive, ASCs must maintain their standards to continue to provide care at reduced costs. Additionally, ASCs must retain quality staff and physicians to keep operating successful surgical centers. Empowered and equipped workforces are essential to all healthcare organizations. Education, patient safety awareness, training, standardization are key factors in the operation of the modern ASC. Convenience is equally important to the success of an ASC. If a facility cannot produce the same standards of care quickly and effectively, patients might seek hospital-based procedures instead.
There are many advantages to a healthcare Intranet and Policy Management content management system for ASCs. This content management system can assist ASCs by providing simplified and centralized access to vital information including policies and procedures management. In order to keep the costs lower for outpatient-based procedures, ASCs must maintain their accreditation and CMS compliance. By utilizing an Intranet for an ASC, your organization can experience improved communication capabilities across employees, staff, and stakeholders. By connecting staff through a centralized communication portal, ASCs can increase productivity among staff and physicians allowing facilities to streamline and maintain convenient, cost-effective care.
Additional advantages would be automating manual tasks ensuring that all staff is performing the same standards of care. Social tools, two-way communication features like forums, blogs, and collaboration pages can all promote positive engagement between staff and leadership so care is administered more consistently. Finally, there is little to no strain on IT to incorporate this system into your organization. Decentralized content management frees up IT staff so they can focus on more elaborate technical tasks. With simple editing and publishing tools, an ASC can use an Intranet to easily distribute vital news, events, and corporate and clinical policies across multiple departments, employee groups, physicians, board members and more.
