| CHIME Affiliate Program Criteria |
Affiliate status with CHIME is limited to senior level IT executives in the healthcare sector who are direct reports to current CHIME member CIOs.
*Please note: the qualifications for the CHIME Affiliate Program significantly differ from the qualifications for full CHIME membership. The healthcare community includes delivery systems, payer/insurance organizations and other healthcare-related organizations. Because of the rapidly changing healthcare landscape, these criteria serve as primary guidelines, which may evolve as industry and IS strategies change.
Employment Criteria:
- Health Services Delivery Organization(s)
- Hospital/Acute Care
- Medical Groups (e.g., PPOs, Group Practices)
- Long Term/Extended Care
- Home Health Care/Hospice/Long-term Care
- Public Health Care Agencies (providing direct care services)
- Healthcare Payer/Insurance Organizations
- Organizations related to healthcare IT, but whose primary business does not include selling memberships, or selling hardware, software, or IT services to healthcare CIOs. Such organizations could include radiology groups, RHIOs, state or federal government agencies, disease management companies, etc.
Job Responsibilities:
Senior level IT professional in the healthcare sector
Reporting Relationship:
Must be a DIRECT report to a current CHIME member CIO in good standing
Termination/Status Change:
- Change of Employment
- If at the time of renewal, you have been promoted to the position of CIO (or otherwise fill the role of the highest ranking IS executive), we encourage you to apply for full CHIME membership. Please see the CHIME membership criteria included in this handbook for more information.
- If at the time of renewal, you have changed jobs and no longer meet the affiliate criteria, you are ineligible for renewal and your affiliate status will be terminated.
- If the new employer is a vendor or consulting firm, and you still meet the affiliate criteria, you are ineligible for renewal and your affiliate status will be terminated.
- At the time of your renewal, if your organization has merged/integrated/ consolidated and you retain your current position and otherwise meet the affiliate criteria, you will be eligible for renewal. If your responsibilities change and you no longer meet the affiliate criteria, you will retain your affiliate status for the current year only and you will be ineligible for renewal.

Affiliate status will be allowed to continue until it expires and you will be ineligible for
