As healthcare organizations continue to harness technology to improve care delivery, SSM Health remains at the forefront. For the 13th consecutive year, SSM Health has been recognized as one of “HealthCare’s Most Wired,” a prestigious designation awarded by the College of Healthcare Information Management Executives (CHIME).
Since first applying in 2014, SSM Health Integrated Health Technologies (IHT) has earned this distinction every year, reflecting our long-standing commitment to leveraging technology in ways that strengthen operations, support care teams and improve the patient experience. This achievement is made possible through collaboration across our health ministry and the dedication of team members who continually seek innovative ways to serve our communities.
More than 50,000 organizations participated in this year's survey. SSM Health was recognized for its digital capabilities across acute, ambulatory and long-term post-acute care, with strengths in several key areas, including:
- Infrastructure
- Security
- Supply Chain
- Analytics
- Population Health
- Patient Engagement
- Quality
- Innovation and Emerging Technologies
- Digital Transformation Priorities
Each participating organization receives a customized benchmarking report that highlights strengths and identifies opportunities for growth, helping guide future digital health investments and strategies.
“This recognition highlights how teams across SSM Health are using technology to improve the way we work and care for those we serve,” said Jason Muldrow, Interim Chief Digital and Information Officer. “By providing clinicians, staff and IT team members with better information and tools, we are supporting smarter decision-making, increasing efficiency, and giving them back more time to focus on the work that matters most.”
The 2026 survey continued to emphasize advancing digital capabilities and strategic innovation across the health care industry, helping organizations measure progress against peers of similar size and complexity while identifying opportunities for continued transformation.
For SSM Health, being named among HealthCare's Most Wired organizations is both a recognition of progress and a reminder of the work ahead. By embracing technology, innovation and collaboration, we remain focused on creating a better experience for patients, providers and team members while advancing our Mission of exceptional care for all we serve.
