For the past 11 years Hospitals & Health Networks (HH&N) magazine has published a list of the Most Wired Hospitals in the U.S. and in recent years the publication has also listed the top 25 Most Wireless Hospitals, an award sponsored by Intel. HH&N is published by Health Forum, an American Hospital Association company.

The Most Wired Awards aim to identify hospitals that are using IT to improve patient safety and quality, customer service, business process improvement, workforce management and disaster readiness. The 25 Most Wireless facilities are the ones that had the highest uptake of wireless applications, according to results from the AHA members survey conducted by HH&N.
