for our use of technology to ensure patient
safety and quality care.   The nations 100 Most
Wired hospitals show better outcomes in four key
areas mortality rates, patient safety measures
from the Agency for Healthcare Research and
Quality (AHRQ), core measures from Hospital
Compare, and average length of stay. Based on
analysis of the ninth annual Most Wired Survey
and Benchmarking Study results, hospitals are
embracing technology as a key tool for health
care quality improvements.
