Digital Health Most Wired 10 awardees (UCHealth-Colorado, our 5th year!)

CHIME (College of Healthcare Information Management Executives) Fall Forum was this past week. They award the DHMW: Digital Health Most Wired awards. Also, CT gave one of his talks … what ukulele song did he play? #CHIMEfallforum #InformaticsFTW #MostWired10 #CHIME24 #CIOs-and-CMIOs-can-be-friends

In this post: 

  1. Gratitude to CHIME for what they do
  2. Gratitude to Most Wired organizations for what they do
  3. Gratitude that people will come to my talk
  4. An observation about our industry

Gratitude to CHIME.

For 5 years, CHIME has offered the MOST WIRED survey, so that organizations can review the industry best practices for being an EHR (electronic health record) powered health system, using EHR and related electronic tools to improve patient care, patient safety and quality of care. Here we are at Breakfast for Most Wired awardees, 2024. 

 

Humble-brag; we’re the only organization to earn Most Wired 10 for all 5 years. This of course, only matters to parents and grandparents. 

Gratitude to colleagues

I am grateful to the other 2 dozen Most Wired level 10 organizations, an the hundreds on their journey to Most Wired 8 and 9 and climbing the ladder of performance. We are all striving, not just to survive a go-live, but to thrive. As more organizations learn how to best use our new electronic tools, and then share our best ideas, this rising tide raises all boats. 

 

Thanks, Mark Clark, VP of IT at UCHealth. He makes a lot of our stuff go smoothly. 

 

Lining up backstage, after rehearsals. “Stand here. Don’t touch the table. Photo first, then shake hands. Exit stage right. Quickly!”

 

Over 1000 CIO’s are members of CHIME, most attend Fall Forum and share their best ideas. I love this community and what it stands for. 

 

Gratitude to friends.

Here’s me giving my talk to my 50 best friends: Embracing Failure on the way to success. A litany of all the many ways I have failed my colleagues.
