Most Wired/Most Improved
Lee Memorial
Health System has been named one of the nation's 100 Most Wired
and Most Improved hospitals and health care systems according to
the 2003 Most Wired Survey and Benchmarking Study, released by
Hospitals & Health Networks magazine.
"We continue
to add advanced clinical automation capabilities and expand
access to this automation throughout our facilities," says Mike
Smith, LMHS' chief information officer. "Our goal is to enable
improved quality of care and service for our patients and
improved efficiency and productivity for our physicians and
caregivers, through seamless and secure access to clinical
information, wherever and whenever it is required."
The survey was
conducted by Hospitals & Health Networks, in cooperation with
McKesson Corporation and the Healthcare Information and
Management Systems Society (HIMSS). It measures the nation's
hospitals on their use of Internet technologies for safety and
quality, customer service, disaster readiness, business
processes and workforce issues.
Hospitals &
Health Networks, the journal of the American Hospital
Association, conducts the Most Wired survey annually. McKesson
Information Solutions is a division of McKesson Corporation, the
