Now that the nominations period has closed for Healthcare IT News’ Best Hospital IT Department Awards, the final tally rests at 169 entrants.

Ranging in size from a 2 information technology professionals to IT shops some 2,000-employees strong, this year’s roster of nominees is better – and more tech-savvy – than ever.

We award the top 5 hospitals in four categories: small (1-25 employees), medium (26-75), large (76-199) and super (200 on up).

The usual suspects are on the list, like Intermountain, Kaiser Permanente and MD Anderson, as well as some perhaps lesser-known institutions such as the Grundy County Memorial Hospital in Iowa.

Who will ultimately win?

We’ll reveal that in November. But in the meantime peruse the table below and make a prediction or two in our comments section.
