Riverside Health Care issued the following announcement on Nov. 12.
The College of Healthcare Information Management Executives (CHIME) is pleased to announce that Riverside Healthcare has earned 2020 CHIME Digital Health Most Wired recognition as a certified Acute Level 8 Quality organization. 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. This is the 4th consecutive year Riverside has been named Most Wired.
“We are very proud to once again be named Most Wired,” said Riverside President and CEO Phil Kambic. “We realize in today’s healthcare setting, patients need to have access to the most advanced equipment, and our support areas need the latest systems to make our processes more efficient, that includes increased cyber security. This recognition shows that we are on track with providing our employees, patients and the community with the latest technology.”
A total of 30,091 organizations were represented in the 2020 Digital Health Most Wired program, which this year included four separate surveys: domestic, ambulatory, long-term care and international. The surveys assessed the adoption, integration and impact of technologies in healthcare organizations at all stages of development, from early development to industry leading.
“Digital technology has been a driver of innovation in healthcare for many years now, but never to the degree that we saw in 2020 with the pandemic,” said CHIME President and CEO Russell P. Branzell. “The Digital Health Most Wired program underscores why healthcare organizations keep pushing themselves to be digital leaders and shows what amazing feats they can achieve. This certification recognizes their exemplary performance in 2020.”
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. Participants can use the report and scores to identify strengths and opportunities for improvement. Participants also received certification based on their overall performance, with level 10 being the highest.
