The College of Healthcare Information Management Executives (CHIME), has released their coveted Digital Health Most Wired Survey results for the 2022 data collection period. Opelousas General Health System is proud to announce our Level 8 achievement for the Acute survey selection. OGHS has been recognized as a Most Wired facility 11 times since 2005.
Organizations at Level 8 meet all criteria for being designated Most Wired. They have deployed technologies and strategies (e.g., population health/cost-of-care analytics, HIEs/Integration engines and patient portals) to help them analyze their data and are starting to achieve meaningful clinical and efficiency outcomes. Some of these organizations are experimenting with more advanced technologies, like telehealth, that expand access to care.
Among the more than 38,000 organizations surveyed by CHIME, Opelousas General Health System ranked above 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 health care organizations at all stages of development, from early development to industry leading.
“We are proud to honor your team’s exceptional dedication to excellence in digital health,” said CHIME President and CEO Russell P. Branzell. “Your pioneering performance in the industry inspires other organizations by example. Patients in communities around the world receive better care when you drive change through digital transformation, as you have proven through your success in this rigorous program.”
“We are excited to be among top organizations surveyed by CHIME and ranked above our peers in categories that directly affect better outcomes for our patients like analytics, data management, population health, infrastructure and patient engagement,” said Jared Lormand, Chief Transformation Officer. “We are thrilled that OGHS is recognized for the fifth year in a row for our achievements in the advancement of Information Technology,” he added.
