BVHS receives Level 7 achievement in ‘Most Wired’ survey
Blanchard Valley Health System is pleased to announce it has received Level 7 achievement for the Acute survey selection in Digital Health Most Wired Survey results from the College of Healthcare Information Management Executives (CHIME).
This honor reflects results from the 2024 data collection period. Among the nearly 48,000 facilities represented, BVHS ranked above peers in categories like 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.
John Fenton, director of information services for BVHS, noted that security is a continual priority and said applying for the award also meant BVHS associates needed to document these processes, and one reason the organization wanted to apply was that documentation also helps them gain insight into where they might continue to grow as they set future goals.
“Achieving CHIME Digital Health Most Wired recognition is a testament to our ongoing commitment to leveraging technology to deliver exceptional care,” said Gulshan Mehta, chief digital and information officer for BVHS. “This honor reflects the dedication of our teams in embracing digital innovation to enhance patient outcomes, streamline operations, and ensure our community receives the highest standard of healthcare. However, this is just one milestone in our journey. We remain focused on continuously advancing our capabilities to meet the evolving needs of our patients, providers, and staff.”
