Patient Satisfaction Higher at Most Wired Hospitals
=20
The 100 Most Wired hospitals show better outcomes in patient
satisfaction, risk-adjusted mortality rates and other key quality
measures through the use of information technology (IT), according to a
new analysis. =20
=20
"Health IT has shown incredible promise in helping us improve the
quality and safety of the care hospitals deliver every day," said Rich
Umbdenstock, president and CEO of the American Hospital Association.
"The results of the Most Wired survey confirm that today's patient also
understands the benefits of IT in improving care and improving the
overall hospital experience."
=20
The analysis shows that better outcomes occur among high tech hospitals,
but it does not establish a direct causal relationship between
technology and outcomes. The satisfaction analysis was conducted jointly
with Press Ganey Associates and the quality analysis was conducted
jointly with Thomson Healthcare.
=20
"Quality and satisfaction are often tied to key initiatives and goals
that hospitals are striving towards through the use of technology and
process improvement," said Merrie Wallace, R.N., vice president and
solution line manager, McKesson Provider Technologies. "The most
successful hospitals use technology as part of an overall strategy and
achieve significant results. Those that just deploy technology for
technology's sake don't see these types of results."
=20
"An investment in information technology demonstrates the organizational
commitment to patients, caregivers, physicians and clinicians, staff and
administration," said Lydon Neumann, senior executive at Accenture LLC.
"It indicates a willingness to invest in areas that advance
organizational effectiveness."
=20
The Most Wired Survey is conducted annually by Hospitals & Health
Networks magazine, the journal of the American Hospital Association,
which uses the results to name the 100 Most Wired hospitals and health
systems. It focuses on how the nation's hospitals use information
technologies for quality, customer service, public health and safety,
business processes and workforce issues. . The July H&HN cover story
detailing results is available at http://www.hhnmag.com

Safe Listening for Kids
=20
The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) and Parents'
Choice Foundation have announced today that they are forming a national
coalition of leading musicians who are popular with young children to
promote safe usage of personal audio technology.
=20
Justin Roberts, who has won national acclaim and five Parents' Choice
Awards for his power-pop songs and song writing, has already signed on
to help with the effort. Roberts will give the first Listen To Your Buds
(www.listentoyourbuds.org

Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago.=20

America: Tuned In Today...But Tuned Out Tomorrow? which promotes safe
listening of personal audio technology. The campaign delivers safe
listening messages to all age groups through various means.
