Chatham Hospital also led her and Board into discussions with UNCHCS about the long-term future of Chatham Hospital. In 2006, these discussions resulted in the Board signing a contract for UNCHCS to manage Chatham Hospital. The relationship with UNCHCS continued to mature and strengthen resulting in the acquisition of Chatham Hospital by UNCHCS in July of 2010. As President of the Chatham Hospital Board and as a member of the UNCHCS Board, Ms. Clapp pushed for the construction of a medical office building on the Chatham Hospital campus. In addition, Ms. Clapp recognized that Chatham Hospital could not continue to use paper medical records and that computerization was essential for the provision of quality care. She fought hard to identify funds to purchase a hospital-wide computer system culminating in a signed contract with Meditech in 2009. The implementation has begun and will result in computerized physician order entry in October of 2011.
