Uniontown Hospital recognized for electronic medical record adoption
HIMSS (Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society) has recognized 12 WVU Medicine hospitals, including Uniontown Hospital, and more than 500 clinics for their adoption of electronic medical records (EMR). The HIMSS Electronic Medical Record Adoption Model (EMRAM) measures clinical outcomes, patient engagement, and clinician use of EMR technology to strengthen organizational performance and health outcomes across patient populations. The internationally applicable EMRAM incorporates methodology and algorithms to score a whole hospital, including inpatient, outpatient, and day care services provided on the hospital campus. EMRAM scores hospitals around the world relative to their digital maturity, providing a detailed road map to ease adoption and begin a digital transformation journey towards aspirational outcomes.
