MU Health Care is an academic health center comprised of five hospitals and nearly 60 primary and specialty-care clinics. MU Health Care has almost 6,000 employees and serves over 200,000 patients each year. MU Health Care also comprises the University of Missouri School of Medicine, whose physicians and scientists educate more than 1,000 medical students, residents and fellows, as well as more than 1,000 undergraduate students each semester.

The Situation

80% of Internet users have searched for health-related information online, including 49% who are looking for information on particular hospitals, doctors or treatment options. As the digital “front door” for MU Health Care, their website plays a critical role in attracting, educating and supporting patients, family members and healthcare providers. Unfortunately, MU Health Care’s website did not effectively support these audiences, was built on outdate proprietary software, and needed a holistic overhaul.

MU Health Care selected Centretek (a leading provider of open source solutions for healthcare) through a competitive RFP process. After an extensive digital strategy and discovery effort, Centretek recommended Drupal as the new web content management system (WCMS) and chose Acquia as the foundation to build upon and support this mission critical website.
