Titus Regional Medical Center has been recognized as LEVEL 9 for Acute (hospital) AND LEVEL 8 for ambulatory (clinics) in the CHIME Most Wired Survey for 2021!

The CHIME (College of Healthcare Information Management Executives) Digital Health Most Wired program provides the framework for healthcare organizations to strive for optimal use of technology to care for the communities they serve. Hospitals included in the Most Wired program are certified as Levels 1-10, with Level 10 designating the health IT leaders that have displayed the highest and most innovative uses of technology at their respective organizations.

“I am so proud of what our organization has achieved.  My most sincere thank you to all of the team members at TRMC that have worked so hard utilizing the systems we have to improve the quality of care for the patients of North East Texas.  On behalf of the administration of TRMC, we are truly grateful for all that you do.” –  Tim Pugsley – TRMC Chief Information Officer

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.
