Indianapolis, IN---Community Health Network has been recognized as one of the nation’s Most Wired, according to the results of the 2012 Most Wired Survey, released this week in the July issue of Hospitals & Health Networks magazine.
The nation’s Most Wired hospitals are leveraging the adoption and use of health information technology (IT) to improve performance in a number of areas, according to Health Care’s Most Wired 2012 Survey released today. As a field, hospitals are focused on expanding and adopting IT that protects patient data, and optimizes patient flow and communications.
“With achieving the Most Wired award this year, Community Health Network has been the recipient twelve times, said Ron Strachan, chief information officer at Community. “Our focus continues to be on providing the best technology infrastructure and services, in addition to improving our use of IT-driven tools, such as our Community CareConnect clinical and administrative technology system, in order to deliver the most timely and highest quality care for our patients.”
Among the key findings this year:
“As shown by these survey results, hospitals continue to demonstrate how IT not only can be used to improve patient care and safety, but also as a means to improve efficiency,” said Rich Umbdenstock, president and CEO of the AHA. “Hospitals receiving Most Wired recognition are truly representative of our nation's hospitals and systems – rural and urban, small and large, teaching and non-teaching, and critical access hospitals geographically dispersed.”
“Equipping caregivers with the information needed to drive quality, safety and efficiency will continue to be an imperative as the challenges facing health systems grow increasingly complex,” said Pat Blake, president, McKesson Technology Solutions. “The effective use of health IT, including actionable analytics and connectivity, can be a strategic lever as hospitals and health systems work to drive better outcomes while managing capacity, reducing costs, and coordinating care across multiple settings and caregivers.”
Of note, social media is catching on among the Most Wired hospitals for crisis communications; nearly one half compared with one-third of total responders use this media. More than 25 percent offer care management messages and chats with physicians.
Health Care’s Most Wired Survey, conducted between Jan. 15 and March 15, asked hospitals and health systems nationwide to answer questions regarding their IT initiatives. Respondents completed 662 surveys, representing 1,570 hospitals, or roughly 27 percent of all U.S. hospitals.
