October 12, 2021

MIAMI, FL October 12, 2021 – The College of Healthcare Information Management Executives (CHIME) announced today that Baptist Health South Florida has earned 2021 CHIME Digital Health Most Wired recognition as a certified level 9 in acute and ambulatory care. 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.

“Digital transformation in healthcare has accelerated to an unprecedented level since 2020, and the next few years will bring a wave of innovation that empowers healthcare consumers and will astound the industry,” said CHIME President and CEO Russell P. Branzell. “The Digital Health Most Wired program recognizes the outstanding digital leaders who have paved the way for this imminent revolution in healthcare. Their trailblazing commitment to rapid transformation has set an example for the entire industry in how to pursue a leadership vision with determination, brilliant planning and courage to overcome all challenges.”

“We are committed to innovation and continuously look to implement leading-edge technology to support the excellent care our staff provides to our patients so that they can have the best experience possible all around,” said Bo Boulenger, president and chief operating officer of Baptist Health.

“As we continue full speed ahead in our digital transformation journey, it’s an honor to be recognized for our ongoing progress and results in the technology and digital space,” said Tony Ambrozie, senior vice president and chief digital officer at Baptist Health. “Baptist Health is laser focused on enhancing the consumer digital experience and the organization’s technology capabilities in order to provide advanced and streamlined interactions with the patients and communities we serve.”

A total of 36,674 organizations were represented in the 2021 Digital Health Most Wired program, which includes four separate surveys: acute, ambulatory, long-term care and international acute. The surveys assessed the adoption, integration and impact of technologies in healthcare organizations at all stages of development, from early development to industry leading.

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.

This is the fourth year that CHIME has conducted the survey and overseen the program. In each successive year, CHIME has expanded the survey to capture more types of organizations that serve patients across the continuum of care. CHIME also continues to promote the program internationally to provide a global overview of digital health advancements.

As in past years, CHIME will publish an industry trends report based on Digital Health Most Wired responses from U.S. participants. The 2021 National Trends Report is scheduled to be released in October during CHIME21 in San Diego.
