HIMSS Analytics has recognized the Cleveland Clinic Health System with its Stage 7 Ambulatory Award, acknowledging its attainment of the highest level of the Electronic Medical Record Adoption Model (EMRAM) used to track EMR progress at hospitals and health systems. In the third quarter of 2014, 4.37% of ambulatory clinics in the United States received the Stage 7 Ambulatory award.
Founded in 1921, Cleveland Clinic is a nonprofit, multispecialty academic medical center that integrates clinical and hospital care with research and education. One of the largest hospitals in the country, it has more than 1,440 beds at its main campus and more than 4,450 total beds throughout the system.
“The Cleveland Clinic Health System has figured out how to securely file patient-entered data in a discrete form to track and improve patient outcomes, and they have integrated a family history questionnaire into the physician’s workflow that automatically calculates and presents to the physician the best personalized plan for that patient,” said John Daniels, vice president of strategic relations at HIMSS. “They also demonstrated significant savings from hard-stop alerts for high-cost/low-value tests. The Cleveland Clinic lives up to its reputation as a world-class healthcare delivery organization.”
