Elliot Health System has been named one of the nation's “most wired” by Hospitals & Health Networks magazine, which released its 2012 Most Wired Survey in July.
Such hospitals are leveraging the adoption and use of health information technology to improve performance, according to the survey released Monday.
They are expanding and adopting IT that protects patient data and optimizes patient flow and communications.
“Our effort to become fully electronic started over a decade ago, and since then we have integrated most services and physicians throughout the health system,” said Denise Purington, vice president and chief information officer, in a statement.
Elliot Health maintains a single electronic medical record through its system and provides patients with a secure portal to access their medical records, Purington said.

Participating investors included the eCoast Angel Network, a small group of angel investors that invest in local companies.
Setem Technologies was created in November 2011 and has licensed the use of Short's patents filed through UNH. Short's previous company, Chaoticom, was the first company spun off from the university.
