Intermountain has been named a “Digital Health Most Wired” organization by the College of Healthcare Information Management Executives (CHIME) for the 20th year in a row.
The CHIME Digital Health Most Wired program conducts an annual survey to assess how effectively healthcare organizations apply core and advanced technologies into their clinical and business programs to improve health and care in their communities. Some 36,674 organizations were represented in the 2021 Digital Health Most Wired program, based on survey results in four separate areas: acute, ambulatory, long-term care, and international acute. The surveys assessed the adoption, integration, and impact of technologies in healthcare organizations at all stages of development, from early development to industry-leading.
“Intermountain has strategically implemented multiple technologies to assist caregivers in delivering high-value care at a lower sustainable cost, while providing a personalized digital experience for patients,” says Ryan Smith, Intermountain’s vice president and chief information officer.
“Digital transformation in healthcare has accelerated to an unprecedented level since 2020, and the next few years will bring a wave of innovation that empowers healthcare consumers and will astound the industry,” says CHIME President and CEO Russell P. Branzell. “The Digital Health Most Wired program recognizes the outstanding digital leaders who have paved the way for this imminent revolution in healthcare. Their trailblazing commitment to rapid transformation has set an example for the entire industry in how to pursue a leadership vision with determination, brilliant planning, and courage to overcome all challenges.”
