Marion General Hospital Named 2015 Most Wired
Marion General Hospital has been named one of the 2015 Most Wired™
hospital and health systems in the nation for the sixth time. As a testament
to its investment in information technology, MGH won the national award
in 2001, 2002, 2003, 2005 and 2009 and has repeated the prestigious designation
once again in 2015.
Health data security and patient engagement are top priorities for the nation’s hospitals, according to the results of the 17th annual HealthCare’s Most Wired™ survey, released by the American Hospital Association’s Health Forum and the College of Healthcare Information Management Executives (CHIME).
The 2015 Most Wired™ survey and benchmarking study, in partnership with CHIME and sponsored by VMware, is a leading industry barometer measuring information technology (IT) use and adoption among hospitals nationwide. The survey of more than 741 participants, representing more than 2,213 hospitals, examined how organizations are leveraging information technology to improve performance for value-based healthcare in the areas of infrastructure, business and administrative management, quality and safety, and clinical integration.
“We are honored to once again be named as a Most Wired hospital,” states Emmanuel Ndow, Chief Information Officer. “The recognition validates our commitment to transform the health of our community by providing high quality care outcomes through the strategic use of technology.”“We commend and congratulate this year’s Most Wired hospitals and their CIOs for improving care delivery and outcomes in our nation’s hospitals through their creative and revolutionary uses of technology,” said CHIME CEO and President Russell P. Branzell, FCHIME CHCIO. “These Most Wired organizations represent excellence in IT leadership on the frontlines of healthcare transformation.”
“Congratulations to our nation’s Most Wired hospitals for harnessing the potential of information technology to improve quality care and patient safety and lower health care costs,” says Rich Umbdenstock, president and CEO of the AHA. “At the forefront of the field, these hospitals are setting the bar for protection of patient data through discerning security measures.”
MGH is one of only 13 hospitals, or the top 6%, of technologically advanced hospitals in Indiana to receive the honor. Detailed results of the survey and study can be found in the July issue of Health & Hospitals Network magazine. For a full list of winners visit www.hhnmag.com.
