ORLANDO,
Fla., May 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Since the
February 26, 2024, announcement at
ViVE of the development of the "Smart Hospital Maturity Model,"
enthusiasm from across the industry has led to broader involvement
to guide the initiative.
Expanded Independent Advisory Panel
"Unlike measuring maturity of an electronic medical record
implementation, defining and determining the value of a smart
hospital must incorporate the vision and input beyond information
technology," said Chakri Toleti,
founder & CEO of care.ai. "Toward that end, we are pleased to
add this diverse group of healthcare leaders to the advisory panel,
representing health systems, trusted industry associations and
thought leadership organizations."
These advisors will contribute to a more comprehensive model
that foundationally incorporates the voice of nursing, focus on
quality and safety, financial prioritization and cost justification
for investments, policy considerations, simplification of
regulatory compliance, operational efficiency and more.
