Faced with a web presence that had grown from 1,000 pages and one site in 2003 to over 20,000 pages of content spanning numerous external blogs, a custom event registration system, a video management platform and a custom physician data management system, Cooper University Hospital had outgrown the proprietary CMS it had used for the past eight years.
Why Drupal was chosen:
Drupal was chosen as the healthcare system’s new content management system as it was the only product, open source or proprietary, that could handle the organization’s requirements. From providing the necessary taxonomy to inter-relate hundreds of doctors and over 85 medical specialties with potentially thousands of available conditions, tests and treatments to the complex task of organizing, relating and presenting content for more than 40 office locations containing over 200 suites located throughout three states, Drupal provided the flexibility to meet Cooper’s needs without compromise.
Describe the project (goals, requirements and outcome):
Drupal is now acting as the organization’s central content hub, integrating content from Cooper’s blogs, event system and video content distribution network, allowing web team members to integrate this externally-hosted content into the site’s taxonomy system to be displayed as primary and related content.
The site re-launched in Drupal on July 26, 2011 and, while the web team is still tagging related content and building out secondary areas of the site, the feedback has been nothing, traffic is up 15% year-to-year and online appointment requests have increased by nearly 400% in just the first month.
