Hospitals and Health Networks released its list of the most wired hospitals as part of an effort to highlight which health systems and facilities are best connecting to patients.
Among those deemed the “Most Wired,” meaning they met a rigorous set of criteria across four operational categories, 67 percent share critical patient information electronically with specialists and other providers, according to the survey, conducted with San Francisco-based McKesson Corp., AT&T, the College of Healthcare Information Management and the American Hospital Association. The hospitals that made the list “have made tremendous gains by using IT to reduce the likelihood of medical errors,” the survey said.
