In the program’s 25-year history, Cedars-Sinai is one of only four health systems worldwide that have earned the DHMW’s top-tier classification of Level 10 status five times.
Among the nearly 48,000 facilities represented in the 2024 DHMW global survey, Cedars-Sinai was among 26 health systems that met the stringent criteria required to achieve the prestigious top ranking.
In announcing this year’s recipients, CHIME applauded the 26 organizations for their exceptional commitment to advancing digital health and their significant contributions to the industry. CHIME additionally noted that being awarded Level 10 demands a high degree of rigor, evidence-based outcomes and stakeholder engagement that is challenging to achieve in healthcare.

“We are fortunate to have a culture that embraces collaboration and innovation. It’s our incredibly talented and dedicated staff and caregivers that truly make the magic happen,” Kwiatkowski added. “Wherever we see opportunities to harness technology that will benefit our patients, staff and caregivers, we’re going to pursue those.”
CHIME describes its annual survey as a comprehensive “digital health check-up” for healthcare organizations. Cedars-Sinai’s 2024 check-up showed it ranked above its peers in several important categories, including analytics and data management, infrastructure, innovation, interoperability and population health, and patient engagement.
