Signature Healthcare in Brockton, MA, is placing a high priority on interoperability as a strategic move to improve patient care and maintain its independence in the competitive healthcare market. Joe Diver, the Vice President and Chief Information Officer at Signature Healthcare, discussed this focus in a recent interview published in Becker's Hospital Review. Diver highlighted that enhanced data sharing not only leads to better quality of care but also supports the organization's long-term objective of remaining independent. He specifically mentioned how MEDITECH's advanced national interoperability network, Traverse Exchange, assists Signature Healthcare in keeping patients within their network while still enabling the seamless exchange of data when patients receive care from external facilities. This capability is crucial for efficient care coordination, particularly for complex medical cases like cancer treatment and for patients who seek care in different locations. The ability of Traverse Exchange to integrate smoothly with other Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems, such as Epic and Oracle Cerner, allows Signature Healthcare to remain adaptable without being restricted in their technology choices. Looking ahead, Diver also sees potential benefits in exchanging payer data to further reduce costs and increase the efficiency of care. As part of its ongoing commitment to value-based care, Signature Healthcare is dedicated to advancing interoperability to better serve its large patient population in the region. [3, 20]

Signature Healthcare Brockton Hospital reopened its doors to patients on Tuesday, August 13, 2024, approximately 18 months after a devastating 10-alarm electrical fire forced its closure in February 2023. The reopening marks a significant step for healthcare in the region, which had seen increased strain on other area hospitals during Brockton Hospital's closure. The renovated facility includes several improvements, such as a revamped emergency department featuring a new 12-unit behavioral health triage operation and a new outpatient surgical facility and main lobby designed for better patient convenience and a welcoming atmosphere. Additionally, the hospital has installed a 1.5-megawatt solar array and new machinery for its cardiac catheterization lab. While the hospital has reopened, the maternity, pediatric, and behavioral health inpatient units were expected to reopen by the end of 2024. The hospital's CEO, Bob Haffey, expressed readiness to return to work and noted that the hospital is starting with 900 employees, with plans to add another 300 when the remaining units reopen. The reopening is seen as a welcome relief for Brockton residents who experienced extended wait times at other overloaded hospitals during the closure. Signature Healthcare leadership shared their experience of the crisis response and rebuilding journey in a Massachusetts Health & Hospital Association (MHA) webinar, highlighting their efforts in creating walk-in urgent care centers and moving services to outpatient sites during the closure period.

An article reflecting on the lessons learned from the Brockton Hospital fire in February 2023 highlighted Signature Healthcare's response and recovery efforts. In the immediate aftermath of the fire, Signature Healthcare rapidly established two fully functional urgent care facilities within three weeks. Within 60 days, the organization successfully relocated 25 medical services to other Signature Healthcare buildings in Brockton and nearby communities. To ensure continuity of care for their patients and continued employment for their staff, physicians and staff were temporarily placed at over a dozen other area hospitals. The article also touched upon the ongoing efforts to rebuild and reopen the hospital, noting the collaboration with engineers and licensing officials. Communication played a crucial role during this period, including informing the community and patients about where to access care, updating community partners, and communicating with regulators and other healthcare facilities about the progress towards reopening. The article mentioned that the remodeled hospital would feature a new high-tech ambulatory surgery center, a renovated Emergency Department with a secure behavioral health triage area, and a new lobby. The three new Urgent Care centers opened after the fire are also planned to remain open to provide expanded access to the community. [3]
