NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital's Web Initiatives, 1996-2011

In collaboration with the Hospital Marketing Department, web sites for NewYork-Presbyterian were created by the in-house ITS Web & Multimedia team (under the leadership of Virgil Wong from 1996-2011). This five minute video highlights the evolution of the main institutional web sites during this 15 year timeframe. It also features several key projects demonstrating notable advances in healthcare and information technology, including myNYP.org -- which was developed with Dr. Mehmet Oz and Microsoft to give patients online access to their hospital visit medical records.

Innovations from NewYork-Presbyterian's two Ivy League medical college affiliates can also be seen here. Columbia Doctors offer a look into state-of-the-art robotic surgery, and Weill Cornell Physicians demonstrate one of New York City's first systems to give patients both web and mobile access to their electronic medical record -- as well as online transactional capabilities with their doctor's office. Weill Cornell Physicians also deployed a medical semantic web search in 2011 which allowed patients to find a pulmonologist, for example, by typing in a non-clinical term such as "wheezing".

Music licenses for the soundtrack of this video were purchased from Pond5 and Stockmusic.net. NewYork-Presbyterian, Columbia Doctors, Weill Cornell Physicians, or appropriate vendors retain all other rights to the materials in this video.
