2016 Wired Survey Results
Most Wired Award
The Most Wired Survey and Benchmarking Study recognizes hospitals and health systems for excellence in IT, based on the organization’s achievements within an analytic structure. Hospitals are stratified based on progress in adoption, implementation and use of information technology in four areas:
- Infrastructure
- Business and Administrative Management
- Clinical Quality and Safety (Hospital Inpatient/Outpatient)
- Clinical Integration (Ambulatory/Physician/Community)
Participating organizations will be identified as Foundational, Core, Advanced, Expert or Leader in each of the four focus areas. The number of organizations recognized as Most Wired is based on the number of hospitals that achieve "Core Level (2)" development across all four focus areas. Most Wired Advanced recognizes organizations that achieve "Advanced Level (3)" in all four focus areas.
