Participate in the 2010 Most Wired Survey

ANN ARBOR, MI, January 20, 2010 – CHIME, the American Hospital Association and Hospitals & Health Networks are pleased bring you the 2010 Most Wired Survey with some major revisions this year.


The survey, designed to measure information technology adoption, implementation and use, will include new questions based on the meaningful use definition recommended by HIT Policy Committee. Other changes include increased CHIME CIO involvement in survey development and use of scoring methodology. Additionally, recognition will no longer be limited to 100 organizations per year.

The survey is open to all hospitals and health systems and recognizes organizations for their achievements in four focus areas: Infrastructure; Business and Administrative Management, Clinical Quality and Safety; and Care Continuum.

Participating hospitals and health systems may earn the distinction of being named to the 2010 Hospitals & Health Networks’ list of Most Wired organizations which will be released in July 2010. Other honors will be awarded to Most Improved, Most Wireless and Most Wired–Small and Rural.

The survey is conducted in partnership with McKesson Corp., CareTech Solutions and HealthCareGoesMobile.com

CHIME encourages all members to participate in the 12th annual Most Wired Survey by visiting www.hhnmostwiredsurvey.com. The deadline for submissions is March 15, 2010.

Every organization that submits a survey receives a benchmarking analysis of their data.
