Bronson Named One of the Nation’s Most Wired Health Systems
The College of Healthcare Information Management Executives (CHIME) has awarded Bronson Healthcare with the 2024 CHIME Digital Health Most Wired award, with Certified Level 7 Acute and Level 7 Ambulatory recognitions.
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. Among the almost 48,000 facilities represented, Bronson distinguished itself by ranking above peers in critical categories such as analytics and data management, population health, infrastructure and patient engagement. The survey evaluates the adoption, integration and impact of technologies across healthcare organizations, from early-stage adopters to industry leaders.
In the face of escalating challenges like increasing cybersecurity threats, evolving care models and the urgency for revolutionizing healthcare through technology continues to grow. The next 30 years will continue to bring profound change driven by emerging technologies. We anticipate that advancements in digital health—facilitated by fully interoperable data, artificial intelligence and secure platforms—will significantly transform the landscape of care. A strategic roadmap will be essential to navigate these changes.

“Developing, supporting, and improving effective and secure IT systems has become increasingly challenging for all organizations including in healthcare. In this journey, it has become even more important that we are proactive and thoughtful in the technologies we use, as they must help us to support and meet the growing and complex needs of our patients, caregivers, and clinicians,” said Ash Goel, MD, Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer for Bronson Healthcare. “The Most Wired award for Bronson, in both Acute Care and Ambulatory Care, is a measure of the success of our approach and showcases the commitment that we have to continuously strive for improvement and to meet the needs of those who depend on these technologies every day to receive and give care.”
