The Digital Health Most Wired Survey (DHMW) is an international benchmarking and recognition program that serves as a comprehensive “Digital Health Check-up” for health care organizations worldwide. It assesses how effectively health care organizations apply technologies to their clinical and business programs to improve health and care within their communities.
"Being recognized by CHIME as ‘Most Wired’ for 13 years in a row is a significant honor, and it shows we aren’t new to the use of technology to improve patient care. This is an area where we have been a national leader for more than a decade,” said David Lubarsky, CEO of UC Davis Health and vice chancellor for human health sciences. “As always, humans come first in patient care, and this achievement underscores our focus on using technology to improve what humans can do, bringing better quality outcomes and data-driven excellence to our care. We are proud to be at the forefront of the digital transformation in health care, as we ensure our systems and strategies set new benchmarks for the future."
On the subject of digital transformation, Lubarsky and UC Davis Health also received the inaugural Provider of the Year Award at the HLTH Digital Health Awards for 2024 for how the health system is implementing innovative, digital capabilities. The Digital Health Hub Awards celebrate the achievements of innovative health tech companies that are transforming health care through the use of groundbreaking technology.
