ChimeData staff processes incoming data through extensive error identification systems, using custom software with 160 edits to screen data for accuracy, completeness, and consistency. Data error reports are sent to each hospital for review and correction; data is returned to ChimeData for inclusion in the database.

ChimeData is a fee-for-service program, with annual fees charged to CHA's hospital members. ChimeData also produces custom reports and analysis (special studies) for members and outside entities on a fee-for-service basis.

Some of the services that ChimeData offers require secure access. Those services are listed below. If you have already been assigned a username and password, you may access the service here. If you need to obtain a username and password, please contact the ChimeData Help Desk at chime.data@chime.org, or 203-294-7333.
