UConn Health earned \u201cCertified Level 7\u201d distinction in two categories: acute care and ambulatory care.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy achieving Level 7 in both acute care and ambulatory, we are significantly enhancing patient care through the outstanding use of our IT solutions,\u201d says UConn Health Chief Information Officer Rick McCarthy. \u201cThis accomplishment ensures that critical patient data is captured accurately and shared efficiently with all caregivers, including those outside UConn Health.

Moreover, our focus on a secure and reliable IT infrastructure directly contributes to patient safety and the overall quality of care they receive.\u201d<\/p>\n

Only five organizations in Connecticut earned a 2024 \u201cMost Wired\u201d distinction.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to recognize your organization\u2019s exceptional dedication to digital health excellence,\u201d says CHIME President and CEO Russ Branzell. \u201cYour pioneering performance in the industry not only inspires other organizations by example, but also provides patients around the world with better care.\u201d<\/p>\n
