Caregivers need to be able to exchange health information in a format that makes sense from one care provider to the next. Access to comprehensive, easy-to-understand data is a must. Thanks to Sam Lambson for articulating our vision of interoperability’s future.

Connecting internal and external patient data into a longitudinal patient record can simplify workflows and reduce the burden currently placed on care teams. We owe it to our care teams and patients to provide holistic views of patient care history through agreements like TEFCA.

Healthcare is personal. I recently had the chance to sit down with Surescripts to share what drives my passion for #interoperability. I had a good time talking about my youth in Hong Kong, playing rugby, and dealing with a pandemic and earthquake! link.cohostpodcasting.com/8173d6e3-3ad4-…

Improving industrywide interoperability provides care teams with a holistic view of the patient’s care history. Register for today's webinar, where we’ll discuss how enhancing data usability can help patients and providers make informed care decisions: bit.ly/3duyudM

Pulled all the high quality video from @nasa DART’s website to make this stabilized timelapse of the mission. Pretty incredible they pulled this off, and we’re able to get these images uploaded despite bandwidth limitations before the spacecraft met its doom. RIP #DARTMission

Before next month’s Oracle Cerner Health Conference, join us on Monday, Oct. 17 for the #OCHC22 Interoperability Collaboration Forum! Hear industry leaders discuss emerging real-world interoperability scenarios, updates on Seamless Exchange, and what’s next for interoperability.

Thanks to everyone who attended and participated in this session. As we explored earlier, data portability and duplicative information impacts patients and care teams alike. I’m looking forward to tackling information overload and connectivity with everyone in this room. #OCHC22

Was my pleasure to discuss information sharing networks, data completeness, and improving the user experience in healthcare through #interoperability at #OCHC22 Thank you paul_wilder from CommonWell Health Alliance Ascension Health’s Samit Desai and VA EHRM Integration Office for your participation!!

TEFCA represents a hugely meaningful step toward simplifying data exchange, improving the caregiver experience, and advancing industrywide interoperability. Here’s a helpful AHIMA panel discussing what #TEFCA means for your organization. vimeo.com/778858961

Secretary Xavier Becerra announces CommonWell Health Alliance has been accepted as one of the first 6 Qualified Health Information Networks under TEFCA. This is a major milestone in the 10+ year collaboration with Oracle Health @Cerner and all network members! Hooray! #Interoperability

“Imagine the possibilities for our Veterans” made possible by the TEFCA QHINs! Shereef Elnahal, MD Under Secretary for Health, VA. So much we can do to support our Veterans with healthcare tech innovation! Proud of CommonWell Health Alliance and Oracle Health and all others making TEFCA possible!

10 years into CommonWell Health Alliance, we forget how bold it was for otherwise competing companies to come together to address a challenge that was not going to fix itself. I'm proud of Oracle Health's role among the founders, and our continued support. Congrats to all who made this possible

Fun to see a packed audience for our session on managing the deluge of data. The panel represented diverse perspectives on data exchange & techniques to make data usable. The focus must be on extracting insights that inform care decisions & improve clinician experience. #HIMSS23

For decades, Oracle Health has championed nationwide interoperability and advocated for patient data rights. This announcement is a testament to our commitment to the needs of patients and providers. I’m proud to celebrate this milestone with our friends at CommonWell Health Alliance!

Here's a story about how I got into interoperability, and after a few years at it, some perspective on how we can build a more connected healthcare ecosystem. What would you add? linkedin.com/pulse/4-buildi…
