 ALMH is an affiliate of Memorial Health System. Another affiliate,
Memorial Medical Center in Springfield, was also named to the list.
The survey, conducted between Jan. 15 and March 15, asked hospitals
and health systems nationwide to answer questions regarding their
information technology initiatives. Respondents completed 659
surveys, representing 1,713 hospitals, or roughly 30 percent of all
U.S. hospitals.
"We are gratified and proud that two of our Memorial Health
System hospitals have earned recognition as ‘Most Wired' hospitals
for 2013," said Dr. David Graham, senior vice president and chief
information officer of the health system. "This validates the
successful execution of our decade-long commitment to an electronic
health record strategy to provide safe, high-quality and
patient-centered care to all those we serve."
