The annual CHIME Digital Health Most Wired (DHMW) survey is a significant digital health “north star” that healthcare organizations (HCOs) have relied upon for years. Reflecting the digital profiles of approximately 40% of U.S. hospitals, the array of HCOs included in the 2023 DHMW survey is representative of the known US Health System landscape.

In a digital health world shaped by Meaningful Use, HCOs have largely moved on from focusing on their data capture and storage capabilities to improving outcomes. In this environment, leveraging data emerges as a critical activity in the realization of improved operational and clinical outcomes.

This theme of “acceleration of data usage” was evident in all eight sections of the survey including the Infrastructure segment.

Infrastructure is the foundation of digital health. It brings together connectivity, interoperability and security to help ensure the delivery of a seamless digital experience for healthcare organizations (HCOs) and their patients. In the context of accelerating data usage, IT Infrastructure plays a critical role in facilitating an HCO’s ability to digest data.
