Hoboken University Medical Center hires NIT Health to run IT department in outsourcing pact

HealthLeaders News Brief, June 12, 2007
Hoboken (NJ) University Medical Center has retained Network Infrastructure Technology (NIT Health) to run its information technology system in an outsourcing agreement. The deal follows the hospital’s recent acquisition by the City of Hoboken. Under the two-year agreement, NIT Health will provide planning, infrastructure management, hardware and software upgrades, staffing, training and IT support for all hospital departments. The long-term outsourcing agreement is a continuation of the work that New York-based NIT began last year when it was retained to help with the massive data migration necessitated when the City of Hoboken began the process of acquiring St. Mary’s, now known as Hoboken University Medical Center. The data migration entailed extensive medical and administrative records--as well as other technology reconfigurations--all of which needed to be accomplished without disruption to the daily operations of the 328-bed hospital.
