The College of Healthcare Information Management Executives (CHIME) has formalized its partnership agreement with research firm KLAS Enterprises to accelerate industry performance and provide support to health IT leaders.
The partnership originally was announced in October. Under newly disclosed details of the agreement, the organizations will co-develop best practice and benchmarking studies; establish an industry recognition program for the healthcare C-suite; distribute KLAS research briefs for CHIME members and their affiliated associations; and offer discounted KLAS executive services to CHIME members, according to a press release.
