Beaver Dam and Milwaukee, WI –– Beaver Dam Community Hospitals (BDCH) and Tushaus Computer Services announced today that Tushaus will become the sole provider of outsourced information technology services for BDCH.

“We are pleased to partner with Tushaus to enhance our information technology operations,” said Kim Miller, CEO for BDCH. “We have a high level of confidence in their team and expect the relationship to add depth to our current technical expertise and accelerate our use of information technology to improve patient care. Effective use of information technology is vital to quality and safety of care today; this partnership will advance our ability to deliver excellence across our region.”

Tushaus Computer Services CEO Gregg Tushaus and his implementation team have been working with the BDCH executive leadership and IT staff for a number of months to develop transition plans and assess needs. “We’re thrilled to offer our technical expertise for the benefit of another health care provider,” commented Gregg Tushaus. “Health care has become a major focus for our organization, and we feel that BDCH will immediately realize the benefits of an outsourced relationship with Tushaus.”
