Middletown, NY – Orange Regional Medical Center has once again earned the College of Healthcare Information Management Executives 2019 HealthCare’s Most Wired recognition.
The Most Wired program conducts an annual survey to assess how effectively healthcare organizations apply core and advanced technologies into their clinical and business programs to improve health and care in their communities.
“Our organization continually strives to raise the standard of care,” said Associate Chief Information Officer, Craig Filippini. “The Most Wired survey program is designed to share best practices so everyone can benefit. It is an honor to be among those that perform at the highest levels, knowing that the excellence we achieve will impact patients for years to come.”
A total of 16,168 organizations were represented in the 2019 Most Wired program, which this year included three separate surveys: domestic, ambulatory and international. The surveys assessed the adoption, integration and impact of technologies in healthcare organizations at all stages of development, from early development to industry leading. Each participating organization received a customized benchmarking report, an overall score and scores for individual levels in eight segments: infrastructure; security; business/disaster recovery; administrative/supply chain; analytics/data management; interoperability/population health; patient engagement; and clinical quality/safety. Participants can use the report and scores to identify strengths and opportunities for improvement.
