The Valley Hospital Named 2015 Most Wired

Ridgewood NJ,  For the 15th consecutive year The Valley Hospital has been recognized as one of the nation’s Most Wired Hospitals, according to the 17th annual HealthCare’s Most Wired™ Survey, released by the American Hospital Association’s Health Forum and the College of Healthcare Information Management Executives (CHIME).

The Most Wired distinction recognizes hospitals for successful health IT planning and implementation.  The survey examined 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.

“The Valley Hospital is proud to have once again made the Most Wired list,” said Eric Carey, Vice President of Information Systems and Chief Information Officer for The Valley Hospital. “Valley is committed to providing excellent clinical care and service, and we continue to invest in technology that helps us improve the quality and delivery of patient care,” he said.

HealthCare’s Most Wired™ Survey, conducted between Jan. 15 and March 15, 2015, is published annually by Health & Hospitals Network. Respondents completed 741 surveys, representing more than 39 percent of all U.S. hospitals. Last October, the AHA/Health Forum and CHIME announced the formation of a Most Wired partnership to enhance collaboration between the two organizations in the development and sustainability of the survey, and to collectively help meet the growing demand for useful data on health IT integration.

Detailed results of the survey and study can be found in the July issue of Health & Hospitals Network. For a full list of winners visit www.hhnmag.com.
