For the fourth year in a row, Emory Healthcare has made the list for the “Most Wired” health care organizations. The survey, conducted annually by Hospitals & Health Networks magazine, is designed to measure the level of IT progress in U.S. hospitals and health systems, and is a useful tool for hospital and health system leadership to map their IT strategic plans.

The Most Wired Survey is an industry-standard benchmark study, looking at four areas of expertise: technology related to infrastructure, clinical quality and safety (inpatient and outpatient), clinical integration (ambulatory/physician/community), and business and administrative management.

"Emory Healthcare’s technology success is a direct result of the outstanding partnership we have among our staff, our physicians and our Information Services department," says Dee Cantrell, RN, BSN, MS, Chief Information Officer (CIO) of Emory Healthcare. "A team approach such as ours has helped us create a strong clinical information system aimed at improving patient quality and care."
