Children's Hospital Boston attains Stage 7 EMR adoption

Jeff Byers | | Health Exec | Informatics
Pediatric medical center Children’s Hospital Boston has received its Stage 7 award from HIMSS Analytics, representing its attainment of the highest level on the EMR Adoption Model used to track EMR progress at hospitals and health systems.

HIMSS Analytics developed the EMR Adoption Model in 2005 as a methodology for evaluating the progress and impact of EMR systems for hospitals in the HIMSS Analytics Database. The validation process that confirms a hospital has reached Stage 7 includes a site visit conducted by an executive from HIMSS Analytics and former or current CIOs for an unbiased evaluation of the Stage 7 environments, the Chicago-based HIMSS Analytics stated.

As of November, HIMSS Analytics had recognized 52 hospitals, or 1 percent of the more than 5,000 hospitals in the HIMSS Analytics Database, with its Stage 7 award.
