CHIME Awards Level 10 Honors to 18 Organizations for Digital Health Excellence

On November 6, 2025, the College of Healthcare Information Management Executives (CHIME) recognized 18 healthcare organizations for achieving the prestigious Level 10 designation in the 2025 Digital Health Most Wired (DHMW) survey. This survey is a global assessment focusing on healthcare technology excellence.

The Rising Standards of Healthcare Technology

This year, the CHIME survey implemented a modern methodology to keep pace with the rapid advancements in healthcare technology.

This reflects a shift in the healthcare landscape, allowing all organizations, from small rural hospitals to large academic medical centers, a fair chance to demonstrate their digital health initiatives.

According to Russ Branzell, President and CEO of CHIME, the evolution of this survey constitutes a significant advancement in measuring digital maturity within the healthcare sector. Branzell emphasized the need for an accurate and actionable framework to help stakeholders understand where health systems stand today and how they can improve. The new methodology provides valuable insights necessary for guiding strategic investments and accelerating care transformation.
