HIMSS Analytics has recognized two academic medical centers and the first rural hospital with its Stage 7 Award. The hospitals are: Citizens Memorial Hospital, Boliver, Mo.; Stanford Hospital & Clinics, Palo Alto, Calif.; and University of Wisconsin Hospital & Clinics, Madison, Wis. Stage 7 hospitals: deliver patient care without the use of paper charts; are able to share patient information by sending standardized summary record transactions to other care providers; use their database of clinical information to drive improved care, CDS and outcomes using BI solutions; and are best practice examples of how to implement EMR environments that engage clinicians.
