Mason General Hospital
(MGH) is a 25-bed critical access hospital located in Shelton, WA.
Receiving the status of "Most Wired -Rural" hospital in 2008 and 2009,
MGH in 2011 was named one of the nation's "Most Wired" hospitals by Hospitals & Health Networks
magazine. Although a rural hospital, and perhaps "small" by big city
standards, MGH has been successfully providing its staff, providers and
clinicians with cutting edge, best practice technological tools for
several years.
Perhaps one of the key's to MGH's success is the creation in 2006 of the
role of director of clinical informatics. Originally the role reported
jointly to the chief administrative officer (CAO), Eric Moll and the
chief operations officer (COO), Eileen Branscome, MBA, RN.
