Mount Sinai Health System Named 2019 Most Wired
Mount Sinai Health System has earned the 2019 College of Healthcare Information Management Executives (CHIME) Most Wired recognition according to survey results released this month. Mount Sinai was certified level 8, one of the highest distinctions, because of the effective application of advance technologies into clinical and business programs to improve health and care in communities.
“Healthcare organizations across the globe are continually striving to raise the standard of care, pushing themselves and their peers to do better,” said CHIME President and CEO Russ Branzell. “We designed Most Wired to identify and share those leading practices so everyone can benefit. It is an honor to be among those that perform at the highest levels, knowing that the excellence they achieve will impact patients for years to come.”
“We are honored to receive the 2019 CHIME HealthCare’s Most Wired recognition,” said Kumar Chatani, Executive Vice President, Chief Information Officer & Dean for Information Technology at Mount Sinai Health System. “Mount Sinai has made substantial investments in technology to support our mission providing compassionate patient care in the many diverse communities we serve. This includes utilizing patient-friendly mobile apps that enhance patient experiences and leveraging emerging technologies that improve patient outcomes, including predictive analytics, machine learning and artificial intelligence.”
Innovation in patient care embraces emerging technologies and underscores the need for secure patient information exchange. Most Wired hospitals are transforming care delivery with knowledge gained from data and analytics, and investing in analytics to support new delivery models and effective decision-making and training clinicians on how to use analytics to improve quality, provide access, and control costs.
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.
This is the second year that CHIME has conducted the survey and overseen the program. Last year CHIME made numerous improvements to the survey, governance and scoring methodology. This year CHIME added an ambulatory survey in addition to the domestic survey, expanded international outreach and incorporated an improved system that allows participating organizations to better benchmark their level of adoption and outcomes achieved. The system includes Most Wired certification at a level that reflects an organization’s overall performance. CHIME also revised the customized benchmarking report for ease of use and will again publish a report based on Most Wired responses to identify industry trends in 2019.
