HIMSS Analytics has honored five University of Maryland Medical System hospitals that have achieved stage 6 on the EMR Adoption Model.
These hospitals include Baltimore-based University of Maryland Medical Center; Glen Burnie, Md.-based UM Baltimore Washington Medical Center; Baltimore-based UMMC Midtown Campus; Baltimore-based UM Rehabilitation & Orthopaedic Institute; and Towson, Md.-based UM St. Joseph Medical Center.
UMMS attributed the recognition to the installation of an upgraded Portfolio system — and therefore a universal EHR — throughout its hospitals.
As of July 2016, approximately 1,635 of the 5,400 hospitals tracked by HIMSS Analytics had achieved stage 6.
