Sponsored by First Health Advisory, the 2023 annual CHIME Digital Health Most Wired (DHMW) survey is a trusted resource for healthcare organizations (HCOs) in navigating the digital landscape of healthcare. The survey reflects the digital profiles of around 40% of US hospitals, making it representative of the US healthcare system. HCOs have shifted their focus from data capture and storage to improving outcomes, and leveraging data has become crucial for achieving better operational and clinical outcomes. IT security, or cybersecurity, is essential in the healthcare environment to protect the increasingly connected network systems and applications from threats. The 2023 DHMW survey provides insights into security leadership, governance, practices, and insurance, and First Health leaders offer their expertise to help HCO leaders ensure their digital health tools operate efficiently to reliably secure healthcare environments. The survey also highlights the growing use of specialized cybersecurity leadership positions, best practices for security governance, available resources for security strategy and compliance, and the importance of security insurance in the face of healthcare attacks.
