PALERMO (ITALPRESS) – ISMETT-UPMC is one of the most advanced healthcare facilities in the world in the field of digital transformation, conquering level 7 in the Acute category of the International Digital Health Most Wired program of the College of Healthcare Information Management Executives (CHIME). The survey, which involves over 50,000 healthcare facilities, evaluates digital maturity, infrastructure, data management, cybersecurity, quality of care and innovation skills. ISMETT, we read in a note, is today the only structure in Italy to reach this goal, placing itself among the most advanced hospitals on the technological level, thanks to performances higher than the average in key areas such as clinical safety, interoperability, management of information flows and patient involvement. “This milestone – says Angelo Luca, CEO of ISMETT – represents the natural evolution of a journey started in July 1999, when we started the first telemedicine station between Palermo and Pittsburgh for the management of pathological anatomy cases. Since then we have built a model based on technological integration and integration of all areas of the Institute. The future of health will be defined by the ability to make clinical data really available, interoperable and safe: this is the condition that enables responsible development of artificial intelligence and new tools that are changing the way we treat patients. Digitization is not an accessory, but the strategic infrastructure that allows you to switch from responsive care to predictive, customized and more accessible models. Our commitment is to drive this transformation, improving the quality of care and guaranteeing patients and professionals an increasingly modern, integrated and person-centered experience.” The CHIME recognition represents a real “digital page” for hospitals around the world and reflects the ability to face increasingly complex challenges: cyber threats, staff shortages, new welfare models and economic sustainability. The digital advancement of ISMETT-UPMC, emphasizes the note, confirms the vocation of the Institute for Innovation and sets the basis for the adoption of emerging technologies that, in the coming years, will redefine the provision of care: interoperability of data, predictive systems, clinical AI and highly resilient infrastructure.– photo IRCCS ISMETT-UPMC press office, Angelo Luca, Director of ISMETT – (ITALPRESS).
