The newly recognized hospitals are Citizens Memorial Hospital in Boliver, Mo.; Stanford Hospitals & Clinics in Palo Alto, Calif.; and University of Wisconsin Hospital & Clinics in Madison.
Citizens Memorial, licensed for 74 beds, is the first rural hospital to hit Stage 7. Hospitals at this stage deliver care without paper charts, are able to securely transmit a standards-based summary of care to other providers, and use a clinical database to improve care delivery, safety and outcomes.
