MUSC - Most Wired Hospital 2nd Year in a Row |
Dear MUSC Medical Staff,
Yesterday, MUSC was again named as one of the nation's most wired hospitals.
Hospitals & Health Networks Most Wired Survey annually names the Most Wired Hospitals and Health Systems. The survey methodology sets specific requirements in each of four focus areas. If any of these requirements is not met, then the organization does not achieve the Most Wired designation. Thus, an organization may have many advanced capabilities, yet not achieve Most Wired status. The four focus areas are:
- Infrastructure
- Business and administrative management
- Clinical quality and safety (inpatient/outpatient hospital)
- Clinical integration (ambulatory/physician/patient/community)
MUSC is one of only five hospitals/health systems in South Carolina to receive this designation and one of only 289 hospitals/health systems across the nation.
To achieve this recognition requires initiation and ongoing use of electronic medical records (EMR) at a very high level. As many of you are aware, the rollout across a medical center and outreach clinics the size of MUSC takes time, energy and a lot of resources. This is one of the greatest change management efforts a health system can undertake.
Medical centers and health systems that are the most wired are also consistently higher performers on quality and safety measures. Thank YOU for the patience and hard work it took to initiate and use our EMR. Our patients are better off for your hard work!
Thank you for the great care you provide every day!
Sincerely,
Patrick J. Cawley, MD
Executive Director/CEO, Medical Center
Vice President for Clinical Operations, University

Expected challenges during the construction:
- The area will be continuously open to foot traffic throughout the construction, but there will some changes in routing.
-
Vehicular traffic will be limited to Children's Emergency Department arrivals. -
Discharges will be moved to the NT entrance due to limited vehicular access. -
Buses and Patient and Family Shuttles will follow normal schedules but will pick-up & drop-off on Jonathan Lucas rather than the ramp.
Hospital Security will be present 24/7 to assist with foot traffic and way finding.
Temporary Signage and barricades will be placed to help control the area.
