A crucial piece of our health care technology arsenal is a homegrown content management system (CMS) we (read: I) use for publishing our Web content. After a year of design (and redesign) sessions, the brand spanking new "CMS2008" is in production! We are still working out some kinks as is to be expected. However, there are many upgrades: The information architecture is more logical, the WYSIWYG-ness is more user-friendly and the editor functionality is more robust.

In addition to the Web content publishing piece, CMS2008 also contains administrative tools that we can use to mange user-generated content, such as that found in our eCommunity blogs, discussion boards, and SharingSites.

The big idea here is that if we can make our CMS tool easier to use, this will help the content owners distributed across the organization feel empowered to also be active content publishers.
