Adventist Health System (AHS), which includes Gordon Hospital, has been named a 2017 Most Wired health system based on the results of HealthCare's Most Wired survey, released by the American Hospital Associations (AHA) Health Forum. This year marks the fifth consecutive year that AHS has received the honor.
The commitment our organization has made to leveraging IT solutions and innovation provides us with the technology resources needed to deliver exceptional care and quality to patients as we carry out our mission of extending the healing ministry of Christ in our community, said Pete Weber, president and CEO of Gordon Hospital.
HealthCare's Most Wired survey, conducted between Jan. 15 and March 15, 2017, is published annually by Hospitals and Health Networks. The surveys nearly 700 participants represent more than 2,000 hospitals in the U.S. It examines how organizations are leveraging IT to improve performance for value-based healthcare in the areas of infrastructure, business and administrative management; quality and safety; and clinical integration.
According to the survey, Most Wired hospitals are using smart phones, telehealth, and remote monitoring to create more ways for patients to access healthcare services and capture health information. They are also transforming care delivery with knowledge gained from data and analytics and investing in analytics to support new delivery models and effective decision-making.
The Most Wired hospitals are using every available technology option to create more ways to reach their patients to provide access to care, said AHA President and CEO Rick Pollack. They are transforming care delivery by investing in new delivery models in order to improve quality, provide access, and control costs.
