The College of Healthcare Information Management Executives (CHIME), has released their coveted Digital Health Most Wired Survey results for the 2022 data collection period. Saint Francis received a Level 8 achievement for the Acute and Ambulatory survey selection.
The mission of the CHIME Digital Health Most Wired program is to elevate the health and healthcare of communities around the world through the optimal use of information technology. The annual survey is designed to identify and recognize healthcare organizations that exemplify best practices through their adoption, implementation, and use of information technology. Each participant receives a benchmarking report that can be used to assess their current health IT program and develop health IT-based strategies to raise the quality of their healthcare organizations and consequently the quality of care in the industry as a whole.
Among the more than 38,000 organizations surveyed by CHIME, Saint Francis ranked above peers in categories like analytics and data management, population health, infrastructure and patient engagement. The survey assessed the adoption, integration and impact of technologies in healthcare organizations at all stages of development, from early development to industry leading.
“We are proud to honor your team’s exceptional dedication to excellence in digital health,” said CHIME President and CEO Russell P. Branzell. “Your pioneering performance in the industry inspires other organizations by example. Patients in communities around the world receive better care when you drive change through digital transformation, as you have proven through your success in this rigorous program.”
The Digital Health Most Wired survey and recognition program serves as a comprehensive “Digital Health Check-up” for healthcare organizations across the world. As success in digital health increasingly determines the quality of patient care, the scope of the CHIME Digital Health Most Wired survey reflects the progress of leading healthcare providers as they reinvent healthcare for a new century.
“At Saint Francis, people come first, and we are committed to leveraging technology to drive transformational change in the way healthcare is delivered to our patients and community,” said Lori Sturgill, MOL, Chief Information Officer at Saint Francis. “Through the incredible implementation of technology solutions by our Information Technology team, along with the clinical and operational leaders committing to and embracing the provided IT solutions, we are able to provide stellar care to those who require our services and assist in the mitigation of health disparities across the region. Following numerous years and hours of hard work we are thrilled to receive the recognition of Level 8: CHIME Digital Health Most Wired for Acute and Ambulatory for the first time ever.”

What is Stoddard County Lights?
This is a drive-in light show that shares the joy and hope of Christmas through lights set to music and narration.
What time should I get there?
Plan to arrive 30 minutes before the show time you are wanting to attend.
Where do I go to see Stoddard County Lights?
Stoddard County Lights will be presented on the First Baptist Church campus in Dexter, MO. However, because this is a drive-in light show, we will need you to enter on a specific route. We understand people will be coming from many directions, so a map is provided at the bottom of the page to show the direction in which traffic needs to flow.
Tip: Please do not type in "First Baptist Church Dexter MO" on Google Maps as this will take you directly to the First Baptist Church location. Rather, type in "W Main St N & N Catalpa St". This will take you to the intersection in which all traffic will need to enter. Members from our team will be present to guide you from this point.
Tip: If you are coming from Highway 60, we suggest taking the One Mile Road exit and go south. Continue through the traffic light, then make a left onto Market Street.
Tip: If you are coming from Highway 25, turn west onto Business 60 at the three-way stop by Bud Shell and On-the-Go. Continue to the three-way stop at Wings Etc., and turn on Walnut Street.
What do I do when I get there?
When you arrive, someone from our team will direct you to where you need to park. Once you have parked, please turn your headlights off. You will be directed to tune your radio to a specific station and enjoy the show from the comfort of your vehicle!
ATTENTION: If you drive a large truck, SUV, or van, we will guide you to park in a specific area to ensure all families that attend will be able to see the light show.
What does it cost?
There is no cost; this is a gift to our community.
How long is the light show?
The show will last 15 minutes.
