I was recently pointed to a site called Asterisk that's the personal weblog of Keith Robinson.
In a recent entry titled A Movable Type Intranet keith writes about implementing Movable Type as a content management system for a *hospital* Intranet.
While the post is more about MT than design factors, politics, etc., I think it provides a great case for using cheap and sophisticated technology to solve some of the most common problems hospitals face- communication problems.
For our last redesign the team worked out a Movable Type solution for the home pages and “hub�? pages so that the internal communications team could supply “channels�? of news and announcements targeting the different audiences down at the hospital. We also used MT to run our events calendar.

Don’t let anyone tell you that you need to spend thousands of dollars to do distributed authorship or content management the right way. It’s simply not true.
I'm looking forward hearing more about this from Keith, who is a local Seattle guy too.
