Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital Recognized as a Top Hospital for Excellence in IT
St. Petersburg, Fla. (PRWEB) July 06, 2016 -- Hospitals & Health Networks named Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital to its 2016 Most Wired Hospitals and Health Systems list. The list, based on the Most Wired Survey, serves as a benchmark for excellence in IT and health data security, examining how organizations leverage IT to improve performance for value-based health care. Each year, hospitals included on the Most Wired list must meet criteria in four key areas, including infrastructure, business and administrative management, clinical quality and safety and clinical integration. Johns Hopkins All Children’s is the only children’s hospital on Florida’s west coast to be named to this year’s list.
“Being named as a Most Wired Hospital solidifies how our organization is taking steps to improve our IT operations and security in order to provide better patient care at the right place, resulting in better health outcomes,” says Roberta Alessi, Chief Operating Officer at Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital. “We’ve already seen innovations in care for our asthma patients after clinicians reviewed and utilized data to create new guidelines in our emergency room, which helped reduce admissions and decrease the length of stay, ultimately improving the overall care for this group of patients.”
More than two-thousand hospitals, roughly 34 percent of U.S. hospitals, participated in the survey. Detailed results and more information on the 2016 Most Wired Hospitals will be available in the July issue of Hospitals & Health Networks magazine.
