“Using innovative technologies, our teams are in constant search for opportunities that elevate safety, enhance the hospital experience and improve the quality of care for our patients,” said Shannon Striebich, president of St. Joseph Mercy Oakland and senior vice president of operations at Trinity Michigan. “The communities we serve should know, when you step foot into a Trinity Health hospital here in Michigan, you are receiving the most technically advanced care available in the country.”

A total of 36,674 organizations were represented in the 2021 Digital Health Most Wired program, which includes four separate surveys: acute, ambulatory, long-term care and international acute. The surveys assessed the adoption, integration and impact of technologies in health care organizations.

Participants received certification based on their overall performance, with level 10 being the highest. Trinity Health Michigan hospitals throughout the state each received Acute Level – 9 scores.
