University Hospital Develops HIS to Provide Top-Quality Medical Services
Chung Shan Medical University Hospital is a recognized healthcare provider in the Taichung area of Taiwan. In an effort to improve its ability to develop applications in-house, Chung Shan chose Windows Server 2008 over UNIX to support its healthcare information system. The hospital is now experiencing a lower total cost of ownership, increased system performance, and improved usability.
Located in Taiwan, Chung Shan Medical University Hospital is an award-winning healthcare provider. The hospital was founded in 1966.
Business Situation
The hospital had an aging health information system (HIS) developed by a third-party provider. However, the system was slow and unable to keep up with changing business requirements.
Solution
Without a precedent for developing applications in-house, the hospital relied on the resources from the Microsoft Technology Center to provide the critical support to reduce the risk and help them to develop a new HIS smoothly.

Improved ability to develop applications in-house
Lowered total cost of ownership
