PARAMUS, NJ, November 18, 2024 – Valley Health System has been recognized as one of the nation’s “Most Wired” according to The College of Healthcare Information Management Executives (CHIME) Digital Health Most Wired? 2024 survey.
CHIME’s Most Wired distinction recognizes hospitals and health systems that are at the forefront of using healthcare information technology (IT) to improve the delivery of care. Valley received a Level 9 certification in the Acute survey selection, which is one of the highest certifications given by CHIME.
Among the almost 48,000 facilities represented, Valley ranked above peers in critical categories such as analytics and data management, population health, infrastructure, and patient engagement. The survey evaluates the adoption, integration, and impact of technologies across healthcare organizations, from early-stage adopters to industry leaders.
“Valley is proud to have once again made the Most Wired list and to have earned one of the highest certification levels,” said Eric Carey, Vice President of Information Systems and Chief Information Officer for Valley Health System. “We strategically leverage technology to optimize access to high-quality care, as well as to improve outcomes and the patient experience. With the opening of our new hospital this year, we have implemented exceptional new technologies that only further our commitment to our patients.”
This is the 24th year that Valley has made this prestigious list.
“We are proud to recognize Valley’s exceptional dedication to digital health excellence,” said CHIME President and CEO Russell P. Branzell. “Valley’s pioneering performance in the industry not only inspires other organizations by example, but also provides patients around the world with better care.”
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.
