For any of the sites out there that are converting or have converted to
6.0, would you be willing to share your project charter and scope. I am
working on these for our facility and would like to see what others have
done. Thanks Doug

Summit Details

Boulder Community Hospital (BCH), a 265-bed facility in Colorado, converted
from Magic to 6.0 and went LIVE with 27 applications in October 2009. Two
system analysts from BCH, Anita Bellini and Diane Folsom, will discuss the
changes between the Magic and 6.0 Client Server environments specifically on
application functionality. Examples include: Bedboard, OM, EDM, and other
NPR and Focus apps.

Next, Daniel Spencer, ARRT, BSB (IS), will explain the difference in support
structure for a hospital that is moving from Magic to 6.0. This includes
both the large addition to application and infrastructure resources that
were needed. He will also discuss how BCH scaled its IT department to meet
the demands of a 6.0 environment.

Krista McClain, the project manager for the 4-year 6.0 implementation, will
share the importance of a project management structure with the move to 6.0
to meet timelines, budget constraints, and resource dilemmas. She will also
review the phases of the project from planning, design, build, testing, and
implementation and all the road blocks in between.

Boulder Community Hospital is a coordinated network of facilities and
skilled personnel providing an expansive range of medical services to people
and businesses across Boulder County. As a locally owned and operated
non-profit hospital system, Boulder Community is dedicated to meeting the
constantly evolving health care needs of county residents. Boulder Community
is known across Colorado for its clinical excellence in heart care,
neurosurgery and cancer care. In 2007, BCH staff provided care to more than
53,000 emergency and urgent care patients, 9,200 inpatients and 8,000
surgical patients. Some 560 physicians in 48 medical specialties have
privileges at BCH.
