CentraState Medical Center, Freehold Township, has been recognized as one of the nation’s “Most Wired” health care organizations for the fourth year in a row in an annual survey conducted by Hospitals & Health Networks, the journal of the American Hospital Association.
CentraState is among the top 5 percent of health care organizations in the country to be named “Most Wired.” The designation recognizes health care organizations that have successfully adopted information technology (IT) in four critical areas: infrastructure, business and administrative management, clinical quality and safety, and care continuum.
CentraState has invested nearly $20 million in health IT over the past 13 years as part of its ongoing commitment to enhance patient safety and create more efficient care processes, according to a press release.
The Most Wired Survey and Benchmarking Study is a joint project of the American Hospital Association, Hospital and Health Networks, McKesson Corporation and the College of Healthcare Information Management Executives.
