September 8, 2023 – Intermountain Health has received the distinguished 2023 Davis Award of Excellence from the Health Information Management Systems Society (HIMSS) for their use of technology and improved processes to enhance care for patients experiencing serious medical conditions.
The Davies Award — HIMSS’s highest global recognition of hospitals and ambulatory care centers —recognizes health systems that not only improve clinical outcomes within the organization, but also improve health and wellness in the community.
HIMSS is a health community advisor and thought leader that works to enhance global health care through the power of information and technology.
In 2022, Intermountain achieved the “World’s First Triple Stage 7 Organization” status under the new 2022 HIMSS Stage 7 Maturity Model requirements. The Stage 7 requirement is needed in order to even be considered for the Davies Award of Excellence.
Intermountain presented a series of case studies demonstrating the application of information and technology to improve care and outcomes for patients experiencing Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), and Multimodal Pain Management Modalities.
Intermountain’s efforts to provide predictive scoring, evidence-based protocols, and implementation of data-driven and AI-enhanced analyses focused on identification and risk stratification to reduce readmission rates.
These measures improved the timeliness and quality of patient care and access. Additionally, these programs empowered patients through informative education, resulting in higher-quality care.
