National recognition underscores CHRISTUS Health's commitment to using technology and innovation to enhance patient outcomes and support clinicians

IRVING, Texas, Nov. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CHRISTUS Health continues to advance its digital transformation efforts, earning Level 9 recognition in both Acute and Ambulatory care, marking a significant advancement from last year's Level 8 achievements. This achievement reflects the health system's ongoing investments in technology, innovation and data-driven care designed to enhance quality, safety and the patient experience across the communities it serves.

By progressing from Level 8 to Level 9, our organization has transitioned from robust digital health implementation into a fully integrated, data-driven care ecosystem that seamlessly connects patients and providers across all clinical environments. This achievement highlights our advanced adoption of cutting-edge technologies like predictive analytics and enterprise-wide automation to deliver measurably superior clinical outcomes and operational excellence.  

The recognition comes through the 2026 Digital Health Most Wired Survey, an internationally recognized benchmarking program conducted by the College of Healthcare Information Management Executives (CHIME) that evaluates how effectively healthcare organizations leverage technology to support better patient care and operational excellence. 

"At CHRISTUS Health, technology is not simply about keeping pace with change. It's about creating meaningful improvements for our patients, our clinicians and the communities we serve," said Jon Manis, senior vice president and chief information officer for CHRISTUS Health. "Achieving Level 9 recognition in both Acute and Ambulatory care reflects the dedication of our associates and caregivers who are leveraging innovation to enhance quality, improve safety and deliver a more seamless patient experience."  

Among the more than 44,000 facilities represented in this year's survey, CHRISTUS Health 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.  

CHRISTUS Health's advancement from Level 8 to Level 9 demonstrates meaningful progress in its ongoing digital transformation journey and its commitment to responsible innovation.  

"This achievement reflects a shared commitment across CHRISTUS Health to continually improve how we care for patients," said Manis. "Every investment in technology is made with a clear purpose to support our mission, empower our caregivers and help deliver exceptional care."
