Terrebonne General Health System is proud to have once again earned the coveted CHIME Digital Health Most Wired recognition by the College of Healthcare Information Management Executives (CHIME). Terrebonne General was recognized with a certified Level 8 Achievement for two categories; Acute and Ambulatory care, and is the only health system in the region to receive this designation for the fourth consecutive year. Some of the innovations that Terrebonne General was recognized for include offering EPIC, the top-rated medical record system, and providing MyChart, a patient portal system that offers instant access to medical records, as well as the Terrebonne Connect Bar, which pairs patients with technology.
Among the almost 48,000 facilities represented, Terrebonne General distinguished itself by ranking above peers in critical categories such as analytics and data management, population health, infrastructure, and patient engagement. The survey evaluates the adoption, integration, and impact of technologies across healthcare organizations, from early-stage adopters to industry leaders.
"It is an honor to be recognized with the CHIME Digital Health Most Wired Award for the fourth consecutive year. This acknowledgment is a true testament to Terrebonne General's unwavering commitment to offering the latest innovations and technologies to better serve our community," said Phyllis Peoples, President and CEO.

In the face of escalating challenges like increasing cybersecurity threats, evolving care models, staffing shortages, and budget constraints, the urgency for revolutionizing healthcare through technology continues to grow. The next 30 years will bring profound changes, driven by emerging technologies. We anticipate that advancements in digital health—facilitated by fully interoperable data, artificial intelligence, and secure platforms—will significantly transform the landscape of care. A strategic roadmap will be essential to navigate these changes.
“To aid your future planning, we have designed the Digital Health Most Wired program to provide insights into best practices, HIT adoption patterns, and digital health market trends,” Branzell added.
