\nThe Digital Health Most Wired designation, from the College of Healthcare Information Management Executives, affirms Saratoga Hospital\u2019s effective use of advanced information and digital technology to enhance patient care and safety.

\nIn the Capital Region, only Saratoga Hospital and its affiliate Albany Med attained the designation. Both earned quality awards for being certified at level 8, which recognizes organizations whose technology and strategies are achieving meaningful clinical and efficiency outcomes.
\nSaratoga Hospital has earned the designation for four of the past five years. Albany Med has made the list for each of the past seven years.<\/p>\n
