Nicklaus Children’s Health System has been at the forefront of utilizing innovative technology to enhance patient care. Mobile applications, interactive robotic devices, mobile medical carts, and medical kiosks are among the technologies that support the hospital and its growing network of outpatient centers. NCHS Anywhere, the health system’s telehealth program, serves patients anywhere around the world through virtual platforms. HIMSS Analytics named Nicklaus Children’s a HIMSS Level 7 facility in 2016, the highest level a hospital or institution can achieve in the transition to a completely integrated electronic health record model. The health system is also routinely recognized in IDGs Computerworld as one of the 100 Best Places to Work in IT and by the American Hospital Association’s (AHA) Health Forum as a Healthcare’s Most Wired facility.
