December 7, 2023
New Brunswick, NJ — November 27, 2023 — The College of Healthcare Information Management Executives (CHIME), has released their coveted Digital Health Most Wired Survey results for the 2023 data collection period and Saint Peter’s University Hospital is proud to announce its Level 7 achievement for ambulatory care and Level 6 achievement for acute care recognition via the survey results.
Of the more than 55,000 facilities represented, Saint Peter’s ranked above its peers in categories like analytics and data management, population health, infrastructure, and patient engagement. The survey assessed the adoption, integration, and impact of technologies in healthcare organizations at all stages of development, from early development to industry leading.
“We are proud to recognize your organization’s exceptional dedication to digital health excellence,” said CHIME President and CEO Russell P. Branzell. “Your pioneering performance in the industry not only inspires other organizations by example, but also provides patients around the world with better care.”
According to Saint Peter’s Vice President/Chief Information Officer and Chief Medical Information Officer Jordan Tannenbaum, MD, MBA, MPH, CHCIO, PgC Healthcare Informatics, “It is an honor to be recognized by CHIME in their Digital Health Most Wired Survey . The healthcare industry will continue to benefit from innovations in technology and here at Saint Peter’s, we strive to stay ahead of the curve. Our ambulatory and acute care rankings are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to how we are integrating technology into our everyday operations to enhance our delivery of safe, quality care.”
Amid escalating challenges posed by growing cybersecurity threats, evolving care models, staffing shortages, and budget constraints, the call for revolutionizing healthcare through technology is moving forward at a rapid pace. The future of health and care that over the next 30 years will be a world apart from what it is now. Driven by emerging technology, digital innovation—enabled by fully interoperable data, artificial intelligence, and open, secure platforms—will drive much of this change. A strategic roadmap will be more critical than ever to navigate this myriad of change.
“To support your planning for the future, we have designed the Digital Health Most Wired program to deliver valuable insights into best practices, health information technology (HIT) adoption patterns, and digital health market trends,” said Branzell. The Digital Health Most Wired survey and recognition program serves as a comprehensive “Digital Health Check-up” for healthcare organizations across the world. As success in digital health increasingly determines the quality of patient care, the scope of the CHIME Digital Health Most Wired survey reflects the progress of leading healthcare providers as they reinvent healthcare for a new century. This remarkable achievement stretches far beyond information technology and reflects an entire organization’s commitment to improve healthcare through the advancement of digital health strategies.
