CANTON, Ohio (Nov. 6, 2025) – The College of Healthcare Information Management Executives (CHIME) has announced the results of the highly anticipated 2025 Digital Health Most Wired Survey, an internationally recognized benchmarking program that honors excellence in digitally enabled healthcare. Aultman Health System is proud to announce its Level 8 achievement for the Acute and Ambulatory categories.

Among the more than 50,000 facilities represented, Aultman 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.

“I’m incredibly proud of our IT, clinical and operational teams for earning this recognition,” said Rob Mullen, president and CEO, Aultman Health System. “This award reaffirms Aultman’s position as a forward-thinking health system. As AI continues to transform the patient experience, we remain committed to building the healthcare system of tomorrow, today!”

According to CHIME, as healthcare 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.

“At Aultman, technology isn’t just infrastructure, it’s a bridge to better care,” said Raza Fayyaz, chief information officer, Aultman Health System. “Being recognized as a Most Wired organization validates our focus on leveraging technology to improve patient outcomes, enhance efficiency, empower our caregivers and serve our community. This award is a testament to the dedication of our teams who continually push boundaries to make that vision a reality.”

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.
