According to Russell Branzell, president and CEO of CHIME, any hospital can achieve Most Wired status if they have a strategic vision, paired with the right leadership and technology. This year, CHIME used a new scoring methodology, which set the bar higher for becoming a Most Wired recipient. Trends from the survey have been published in an industry report covering four key areas: 1) Integration; 2) Security; 3) Population Health Management; and 4) Telehealth. Branzell went on to explain that the Most Wired survey is the opportunity to improve patient safety and outcomes by sharing best practices nationally and globally.
