The most obvious change to the website is its cleaner, more modern look and feel. Even more significantly, however, is that it was designed with the patient experience in mind. That means more intuitive navigation and a more robust search function, both of which are intended to help patients and visitors find the information they need more easily, Hodgson said.
The new site also includes a more robust Newsroom section, to help health system leadership connect more quickly and efficiently with the Northshore community.
Together, it and the new STHS app are helping usher in a new age of healthcare in St. Tammany Parish, according to Craig Doyle, the health system’s VP/CIO Information Systems.
“One of the main goals, both with the new website and the new app, is to help patients more easily harness all the exciting new digital health tools that are changing the face of healthcare,” Doyle said. “And I think we’ve done that.”
He added: “St. Tammany Health System has long prided itself on its ability to deliver world-class health care close to home. Now, particularly with the new STHS app, we’re putting world-class healthcare into the palm of your hand.”
