SYSTEMS SUPPORT SERVICES
Our department is committed to providing staff with the tools needed to serve Vanderbilt's patients. The SSS department functions as an interface between system developers and the end-users in the design, planning, training, implementation, and on-going support of various clinical computer applications. A new role within the department is CAPS (Clinical Applications Support). CAPS is designed to give nursing unit leadership, staff nurses, care partners, medical receptionists, physicians, and ancillary departments a designated resource person to assist them in the use of the clinical applications used to care for and document the care of patients.
SSS began as a one person show in 1990 when Karen Hughart, the director of the department, was hired to help implement Wiz, the Computerized Provider Order Entry Application. Today the department functions with about 20 staff and is instrumental in supporting multiple clinical applications.
