The College of Healthcare Information Management Executives (CHIME) has announced the results of the highly anticipated Digital Health Most Wired Survey for the 2024 data collection period. We are proud to announce our Level 9 achievement for the Acute and Ambulatory survey selection.

Among the almost 48,000 facilities represented, Faith Regional Health Services ranked above peers in critical categories such as analytics and data management, population health, infrastructure, and patient engagement. The survey evaluates the adoption, integration, and impact of technologies across healthcare organizations, from early-stage adopters to industry leaders.

“We are proud to recognize Faith Regional Health Services exceptional dedication to digital health excellence,” said CHIME President and CEO, Russ Branzell.  “Your pioneering performance in the industry not only inspires other organizations by example, but also provides patients around the world with better care.”

In the face of escalating challenges like increasing cybersecurity threats, evolving care models, staffing shortages, and budget constraints, the urgency for revolutionizing healthcare through technology continues to grow. The next 30 years will bring profound changes, driven by emerging technologies. We anticipate that advancements in digital health—facilitated by fully interoperable data, artificial intelligence, and secure platforms—will significantly transform the landscape of care. A strategic roadmap will be essential to navigate these changes.

“To aid Faith Regional’s future planning, we have designed the Digital Health Most Wired program to provide insights into best practices, HIT adoption patterns, and digital health market trends,” Branzell added. The Digital Health Most Wired survey and recognition program serves as a comprehensive "Digital Health Check-up" for healthcare organizations globally. As success in digital health increasingly influences patient care quality, the CHIME Digital Health Most Wired survey reflects the progress of leading healthcare providers as they reshape healthcare for the future.

“Receiving this award in an incredible honor and a reflection on our commitment to driving meaningful change in healthcare through technology,” said Faith Regional Health Services CIO, Brian Sterud. “We dedicate ourselves to continuously improve patient care, enhance efficiency, and to build a healthcare system that meets the needs of tomorrow.”
