VMC Web Development

Linking to Consumer Web Site

September 28th, 2007

Just a quick note to let everyone know that the new VMC Patient/Visitor Web site (www.Vanderbilthealth.com) has been successfully launched and it may mean that you need to check your links to VMC.

We knew that separating out the patient/visitor audience would create new challenges for Web developers in the medical center, but the pros far out weighed the cons.  Having said that, I ask that you please revisit the links to VMC on your sites.  If your site’s audience is patients and visitors, please direct them to Vanderbilthealth.com.  If your site’s audience is not patients and visitors, please direct them to our mc.vanderbilt.edu Web site.

We have developed the VMC sites so that a user can go from one to the other, but our hope is that by separating them our patients and visitors will find their information more quickly.

We have also placed a link on the new Web site for feedback.  Please use it to let us know what challenges you face regarding the new site and we will do our best to help you.  We have already had great feedback and have made changes based on that feedback.
Have a great weekend.

Consumer Web Site Launch

September 18th, 2007

A quick note to let everyone know that the new VMC Consumer Web Site will launch this Friday.  It has been a huge effort by a large group of staff members and consumers.  It is a site created for our patients, visitors, and families.  The new site is also a resource to us, Vanderbilt employees.

The URL to the site is: www.vanderbilthealth.com.  We look forward to hearing your comments and growing this project over the next several months.

The existing site: www.mc.vanderbilt.edu, will be refreshed in the coming months.  It will echo the new consumer site, but still have its own unique look and feel.  You will notice that the .edu site will change with the consumer launch, but it will be minimal.
I will be looking forward to your comments.
