ALPENA — MyMichigan Health earned three honors by the College of Healthcare Information Management Executives (CHIME) HealthCare’s Most Wired survey. For 2025, MyMichigan received Most Wired Certificate Level 7 accolades in the Acute, Ambulatory, as well as Long Term Post-Acute Care categories. The CHIME Digital Health Most Wired program conducts an annual survey to assess how effectively health care organizations apply core and advanced technologies into their clinical and business programs to improve health and care in their communities.

Among the more than 50,000 facilities represented, MyMichigan Health distinguished itself by ranking above peers in key focus areas including clinical quality and safety, analytics and data management, cybersecurity, population health, infrastructure, patient engagement and innovation. The survey evaluates the adoption maturity, outcomes and value of technology integration across healthcare organizations at all stages of digital maturity – from early phase digitization to advanced transformation.

“At MyMichigan Health we continually seek ways to optimize our technology and systems to benefit our patients and health care providers,” said Pankaj Jandwani, M.D., system vice president and chief information officer, MyMichigan Health. “To be named a Most Wired organization in three spaces really does show the level of collaboration across our health system and that we are meeting the mark to not only be the best in digital health but also a leader in health care innovation.”

As health care organizations continue to face complex challenges in rising cybersecurity threats, evolving care models, workforce shortages, and budget constraints, the need to accelerate digital transformation has never been more urgent. Over the next several decades, emerging technologies will revolutionize care delivery in fundamental ways. Innovations powered by interoperable data, artificial intelligence, and secure digital infrastructure are poised to redefine the digital health landscape. Navigating this evolution will require sustained commitment and a clear, strategic roadmap.

The Digital Health Most Wired survey serves as a comprehensive evaluation and digital maturity report card for healthcare organizations across the globe. As success in digital transformation increasingly influences the quality and accessibility of care, this recognition program reflects the progress of leading healthcare providers as they reshape the future of healthcare. This achievement extends beyond information technology to every area of the enterprise, symbolizing a collective commitment to advancing health and care through strategic digital initiatives.
