OSF HealthCare Earns 2024 Most Wired Designation

OSF HealthCare has earned the 2024 CHIME Digital Health Most Wired recognition from the College of Healthcare Information Management Executives (CHIME). This marks the thirteenth straight year OSF has achieved this honor.

The Digital Health Most Wired survey and recognition program serves as a comprehensive “Digital Health Check-up” for health care organizations across the world. The annual survey assesses how effectively core and advanced technologies are applied to improve health care.

Participants receive certification based on their overall performance, with level 10 being the highest. This year OSF HealthCare is honored to be Level 9 certified in Ambulatory Care technology and Level 9 certified in Acute Care technology. This is a marked achievement; OSF has seen its certification levels rise across all 16 hospitals, advancing from a Level 7 in both categories in 2019 to today’s achievements of Level 9.

“Last year, only 106 healthcare systems or hospitals worldwide achieved Level 9 or 10 in both care settings, and we expect the numbers to be similar this year. Achieving Level 9 across the entire continuum of care places OSF in elite company,” said David Hall, MD, senior vice president of information systems and chief information officer for OSF HealthCare. “This honor highlights the hard work of our analysts, technicians, clinicians, and innovators, and is a fitting recognition of OSF HealthCare’s commitment to rapid transformation in the digital health care space, allowing us to provide the greatest, most innovative care possible for our patients and those we serve.”

Each participating organization received a customized benchmarking report, an overall score and scores for individual levels in eight segments: infrastructure; security; business/disaster recovery; administrative/supply chain; analytics/data management; interoperability/population health; patient engagement; and clinical quality/safety.
