Hartford, CT – Connecticut Children’s Medical Center has been named to the Most Wired list of hospitals for the second consecutive year. Hospital winners are those who make it easier for patients and providers to interact, thus improving communication, safety and patient-provider relationships.
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 to capture important patient health information.
“At Connecticut Children’s departments and team members work together to ensure that our systems not only work efficiently but that they are used effectively, appropriately and safely in support of patient care” said Kelly Styles, Chief Information Officer at Connecticut Children’s. “This award is a true reflection of our expertise and collaboration across the organization.”
Connecticut Children’s information technology team is further refining use of technology to manage population health. Analytic tools help identify patients with chronic illness to promote preventive care and help patients manage their condition. Connecticut Children’s was also the first hospital in the state to connect electronically to the state’s prescription monitoring program, a key tool in an attempt to curb the opioid crisis.
Technology makes it easier for patients and providers to interact, and improves communication, safety and patient-provider relationships. New tools are help patients and families be more actively involved in their care and maintaining their health.
Connecticut Children’s continues to seek new ways to use technology to improve patient care and strengthen communication between providers in its clinically integrated network. Recent advancements include the use of a uniform electronic medical record at Connecticut Children’s and in community physician offices. Providers can instantly access vital information in a secure environment to ensure the safest, most effective care for each patient.
