Cincinnati Children’s Hospital earns Stage 7 recognition

Laura Pedulli | | Health Exec | EMR/EHR

HIMSS Analytics has recognized Cincinnati Children’s Hospital with its Stage 7 Award, and has awarded 14 of the hospital's clinics with Stage 7 Ambulatory Awards.

As of the third quarter in 2013, only 2.2 percent of all 5,400 hospitals within HIMSS Analytics Database have received the Stage 7 award. As of the second fiscal quarter of 2013, only 1.23 percent of the more than 20,000 U.S. ambulatory clinics in the database have received the Stage 7 Ambulatory Award.

“Cincinnati Children’s certainly can quiet the critics who say EMRs cannot be deployed in a subspecialty environment. This is truly a paperless environment that is now successfully taking advantage of the rules and alerting capability that reinforces best practices,” said John P. Hoyt, executive vice president, HIMSS Analytics, in a statement.

The hospital will be formally recognized for this achievement in February at the 2014 Annual HIMSS Conference & Exhibition in Orlando.
