While those who qualify will generally hold the title of CIO, members are not required to carry that specific title. Qualifying for Full or Online-Only CHIME membership requires that you must be the CIO and/or the highest-ranking IS/IT executive at a healthcare provider or payer. We have members that hold a variety of titles, including Director of IS and Director of IT, etc. Please review our membership criteria here.

CHIME also has various levels of membership:

CMIO/CNIO Membership Chief Medical Information Officers and Chief Nursing Informatics Officers who work at a healthcare provider or payer with a CHIME member CIO are eligible for full CHIME membership.

Corporate IS/IT Executives If you oversee Information Systems for major divisions and/or regions of large corporate or integrated delivery systems you are eligible to join. Regional, market area, or facility level IS executives, normally responsible for overall service delivery and budget accountability, or IS executives who have regional or facility-level CIOs reporting directly to them, will also be considered for membership.

Please contact us for more information on these two membership types.

Non-members cannot participate in any of our educational programs, networking events, or use any of our online services.

CHIME membership is assigned to the individual at a healthcare provider or payer organization who applies and is approved. Membership is not for the organization itself and is not transferable from one individual to another.

CHIME was created to support the professional needs of CIOs in healthcare. A hallmark of CHIMEs success has been a close collaborative relationship with the healthcare IT/IS vendor and consulting community. The CHIME Foundation was established in 1994 to enable this community to support CHIME’s programs and services, while developing a mutually beneficial relationship with our member CIOs. The CHIME Foundation is comprised of over 150 vendor and consulting firms. Please visit the CHIME Foundation section of the website for more information.
