 The 2021 CHIME Digital Health Most Wired recognition is awarded to
health care organizations that demonstrate effective use of
technology in clinical and nonclinical areas in four categories.
Lincoln Memorial Hospital earned a Level 7 certification, out of 10
levels. The CHIME Digital Health Most Wired program conducts annual
surveys to assess how each participating organization uses
technology. The surveys examine how health care organizations adopt
and integrate technology at all stages of development.
One of the largest tech-related projects completed at Lincoln
Memorial Hospital in the past 18 months involved the integration of
various information systems at the hospital into one system, which
significantly increases safety and efficiency in patient care.

Another project involved connecting patient monitors with the hospital’s
electronic medical record, or EMR, to allow clinicians a more streamlined
documentation process. Also implemented was a process allowing Lincoln Memorial
Hospital to quickly and accurately report COVID-19 vaccination information to
the state of Illinois.
“Lincoln Memorial Hospital invests significant amounts of resources to ensure
our information systems can support high-quality health care throughout our
hospital,” said Dolan Dalpoas, president and CEO of Lincoln Memorial Hospital.
“Even through the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, our IS team made great
advancements in tech utilization. The CHIME recognition confirms that
commitment.”
