Geisinger recognized for Digital Health Achievement as 2026 Digital Health Most Wired Survey Recipient

 The College of Healthcare Information Management Executives (CHIME) has announced the results of its 2026 Digital Health Most Wired Survey, an internationally recognized benchmarking program that honors excellence in digitally enabled healthcare. Geisinger earned a Level 9 achievement in the ambulatory and acute care categories.

Among the more than 44,000 facilities represented in this year’s survey, Geisinger distinguished itself by ranking above peers in key focus areas including clinical quality and safety, analytics and data management, cybersecurity, population health, infrastructure, patient engagement and innovation. The survey evaluates the adoption, maturity, outcomes and value of technology across healthcare organizations at every stage of their digital journey, from early-phase digitization to advanced transformation.

“Being recognized by CHIME as a Digital Health Most Wired organization for the seventh consecutive year reflects the dedication of teams across Geisinger who use technology every day to make care safer, simpler and more connected for our patients and members,” said Bill Bellando, executive vice president and chief information officer for Geisinger. “Our Level 9 achievement in acute and ambulatory care, among more than 44,000 facilities, shows real strength in the areas that matter most, from cybersecurity and data to patient engagement and innovation. Through our expanded partnership with CHIME, we’re also investing in our people, connecting our IT professionals with peers across the industry so we continue raising the bar for digitally enabled care.”

As healthcare organizations navigate persistent cybersecurity threats, evolving care models, workforce shortages and tightening budgets, the pressure to accelerate digital transformation continues to grow. Artificial intelligence is moving quickly from pilot to practice, and innovations powered by interoperable data, AI and secure digital infrastructure are reshaping how and where care is delivered. Realizing that potential responsibly will require sustained commitment, strong governance and a clear strategic roadmap.

The Digital Health Most Wired Survey serves as a comprehensive evaluation and digital maturity report card for healthcare organizations around the world. As digital transformation increasingly shapes the quality and accessibility of care, this recognition reflects the progress of leading healthcare providers as they reshape the future of healthcare. The achievement extends beyond information technology to every area of the enterprise, reflecting a collective commitment to advancing health and care through strategic digital initiatives.
