Albany Med Health System Named “Most Wired”

The Albany Med Health System has been recognized among the “Most Wired” health care organizations in the nation by the College of Healthcare Information Management Executives (CHIME).

CHIME’s Digital Health Most Wired survey is an international benchmarking and recognition program that evaluates the adoption, integration, and impact of technologies at health care organizations across the world. The 2024 survey assessed nearly 48,000 facilities in eight key areas, including infrastructure, security, administrative/supply chain, analytics/data management, interoperability/population health, patient engagement, innovation, and clinical quality/safety.

The Albany Med Health System was recognized for its optimal use of technologies in both the Acute Care and Ambulatory Care categories.

“We are proud to once again be recognized for our information technology achievements in support of patient care,” said Kristopher Kusche, senior vice president and chief information officer of the Albany Med Health System. “With a new, single electronic medical record system in place at all of the Albany Med Health System hospitals, as well as state-of-the-art cybersecurity measures, data analytics, and many, many other behind-the-scenes innovations, we are providing safe, secure care for our community while enhancing each patient’s experience.”
