The Information Services Department was established to provide all other departments and staff of Steele Memorial Medical Center with the information technology tools necessary to optimize their performance which, in turn, allows the organization to provide the highest possible quality of care to our patients. The IT Department strives to provide a progressive, yet stable, information technology environment. Acquisition and implrementation of hardware and software, training, troubleshooting, end-user support, and preservation of data integrity are all functions of this department. Steele Memorial Medical Center received the prestigious Most Wired Hospital Award for 2009. The Most Wired Survey is conducted annuallly by Hospitals & Health Networks magazine, the journal of the American Hospital Association (AHA), which uses the results to name the 100 Most Wired hospitals and health systems. It focuses on how the nation's hospitals use information technologies for quality, customer service, public health and safety, business processes and workforce issues. "As the health reform debate continues, it's clear that IT will play an even more important role in the health system of tomorrow," says Rich Umbdenstock, president and CEO of the AHA. "Most Wired hospitals help illustrate IT in action-improving efficiency, quality and safety of care while helping to control costs." |
