Each year, Hospitals & Health Networks magazine surveys the nation's hospitals to assess how they use information technology to develop better, safer and more efficient health care. The survey looks at five areas: customer service, safety and quality, workforce, public health, and safety and business processes. More than 1,000 hospitals and health care organizations participate in the survey annually. Of those, only 100 win the Most Wired Award. Children's Hospital Boston was one of only two pediatric facilities recognized in 2006. This is the fourth time Children's has garnered a Most Wired Award.
