CHIME names 14 organizations to Level 10 in the 2026 Digital Health Most Wired survey

Key takeaways

CHIME named 14 organizations to Level 10 in the 2026 Digital Health Most Wired survey, the highest designation in its global benchmark of digital health maturity. Twelve repeated from 2025, and Roper St. Francis Healthcare Services and UPMC joined the top tier. The survey kept the size-adjusted scoring model it introduced in 2025 and now reports 10 segments, with interoperability and population health scored separately.

Fourteen healthcare organizations reached Level 10 in the 2026 CHIME Digital Health Most Wired survey, CHIME announced on October 20. Level 10 is the top designation in the program, which this year drew data from more than 45,000 facilities worldwide.

CHIME reserves Level 10 for organizations that have gone past installing technology to building it into clinical and operational work, with measurable results for the health system, its patients and its clinicians. The 2026 survey scored participants on the model CHIME introduced in 2025, which weighs organizational size, complexity, risk and resources so that a rural hospital and a large academic system are judged on comparable terms.

Who made the list

The Level 10 roster is a single list. Every organization on it earned Level 10 in both acute and ambulatory care.

• Baptist Health System (Jacksonville, Florida)
• Bon Secours Mercy Health (Ohio)
• MetroHealth Medical Center (Ohio)
• MultiCare Health System (Washington)
• Northeast Georgia Health System (Georgia)
• NYU Langone Health (New York)
• Parkview Health (Indiana)
• Roper St. Francis Healthcare Services (South Carolina)
• Stanford Health Care (California)
• UCHealth (Colorado)
• UNC Health (North Carolina)
• University Health (Texas)
• University of Utah Health (Utah)
• UPMC (Pennsylvania)

Twelve of the 14 held Level 10 in 2025. The two newcomers are Roper St. Francis Healthcare Services and UPMC.

Two of the 14 also earned Level 10 in long-term and post-acute care: Northeast Georgia Health System and Roper St. Francis. That makes Roper St. Francis the only organization new to the top tier this year to reach Level 10 across all three survey categories.

Beyond the top tier

The Level 10 announcement is the headline, but the full recognition lists run far deeper. CHIME publishes separate rosters for Levels 7 through 10 in each of the three survey categories:

• Level 10 organizations
• Acute care, Levels 7 through 10
• Ambulatory care, Levels 7 through 10
• Long-term and post-acute care, Levels 7 through 10

Roughly 200 organizations earned a Level 7 or higher designation in each of acute and ambulatory care. The LTPAC list is much shorter at 26 organizations, with five at Level 9 and two at Level 10.

The lists also show the survey’s international reach. Cleveland Clinic London, Fakeeh Care Group and Madinah Health Cluster in Saudi Arabia, Apollo Hospitals Enterprise and Sakra World Hospital in India and IRCCS ISMETT in Italy all appear at Level 7 or above.

What comes next

CHIME will honor the 14 Level 10 organizations on November 12 at the CHIME26 Fall Forum in Denver, which runs November 11 through 14. Registration for the 2027 survey is already open through the Digital Health Analytics portal.
