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 CHIME Digital Health Most Wired program recognizes healthcare organizations with excellence in digital health innovation and maturity.

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, Level 9 certified in Acute Care technology and Level 9 certified in Long Term Acute Care settings, a new category launched this year.

This is a marked achievement; OSF has seen its certification levels rise across all 17 hospitals, advancing from Level 7 in both Ambulatory and Acute categories in 2019 to today’s achievements of Level 9.

“With over 48,000 care sites assessed annually, this achievement reflects the exceptional commitment and innovation of our IT division in advancing patient care through technology,” 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.
