CHIME MEMBERSHIP

Thank you for your interest in joining the College of Healthcare Information Management Executives (CHIME). Membership in CHIME gives you access to a full suite of benefits and services that are tailored specifically to healthcare CIOs.

CHIME membership is primarily for CIOs at healthcare delivery or payer organizations (see our complete membership criteria for more details); other healthcare IT executives can also join CHIME if they meet certain membership criteria. CHIME membership is also available to CMIOs, CNIOs and other Corporate IS/IT Executives. Not a CIO? CHIME has an affiliate program you might be interested in.

Membership for CIOs

If you are the CIO or the highest-ranking IS executive at a healthcare delivery or payer organization, you are eligible for membership in CHIME. Regional or facility-level CIOs in corporate systems are also qualified to join CHIME.

Full Membership

Full membership in CHIME includes access to all of our online resources as well as all of our educational programs and conferences. Full membership is available to all healthcare CIOs who meet the CHIME membership criteria.

CHIME membership is available to CMIOs and CNIOs at healthcare delivery or payer organizations.

Membership for Corporate Senior IT/IS Executives (non-CIOs)

CHIME membership is available to applicants who are not the CIO or highest-ranking IT/IS executive but who have significant responsibility at a large organization. If the Corporate Senior IT Executives are assessed to have a sufficient level of authority in their organization (using a point-based criteria) and their application is supported by the organization’s CHIME-member CIO, they are entitled to full membership in CHIME.

...
I have found the IT Warehouse and the CIO Connection newsletter to be valuable information sources tailored to the unique challenges facing CIOs in healthcare. Those combined with the College Live sessions and the semi-annual CIO Forums provide me with a powerful combination of information and professional networking which more than justify the cost of membership.
