Level 10 organizations have strategically embedded AI, automation, and advanced analytics across all domains, ensuring that clinical, operational, financial and workforce strategies are fully aligned with enterprise-wide digital capabilities. These organizations achieve top-tier outcomes in safety, access, equity and sustainability, and exemplify digital-first, data-driven systems shaping the future of health care delivery.
Among nearly 48,000 facilities represented, BSMH 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.
