Hallmark Health System (HHS) has featured on the Health Care’s Most Wired list for the second year on the trot.
“We are very pleased and honored to receive this national recognition again this year,” said James Nania, executive vice president and chief financial officer of HHS.
Progress Through Innovation
Featuring on the coveted list signifies that the hospital is progressing through innovation.
Since its inception, HHS has grown by leaps and bounds. The institution has invested heavily in state-of-the-art infrastructure and has been able to set up stout clinical information systems that further the objective of improving patient care.
“Hallmark Health System has made major financial investments in information technology in recent years, which has made us a regional, state and national leader in its use to achieve the highest levels of patient care and safety,” said Nania.
“The hospital field can learn from these outstanding organizations ways that IT can help improve efficiency,” Richard Umbdenstock, president and CEO of the American Hospital Association said urging the other medical institutions to follow suit.
