The lack of consistent data standards poses a major barrier to the exchange of information across stakeholders. As providers and administrators struggle to identify the best next step to meet new standardization rules, they need a strategy tailored to the intricacies of their program, based on their specific data workflows — which might look vastly different state to state.
Profound opportunities and challenges are playing out at the intersection of the two.
Across the nation, state-based health insurance exchanges are searching for ways to better serve their communities while making enrollment easier, more personal, and more accessible for everyone.
This week, HHS issued its HTI-2 proposal — a new proposed rule to improve healthcare data sharing among providers, payers, patients and public health organizations. It comes just seven months after HHS issued its HTI-1 rule.
Achieving true national interoperability requires that all constituents have access to information that is trustworthy, accurate and presented in a way that is usable and actionable.
Healthcare organizations must ensure that every solution incorporated into the connected ecosystem is designed and tested to validate that it is secure, compliant, and performs as expected.
Interoperability is moving ahead, but major health systems and hospitals in large population centers must ensure they don’t leave their smaller and more rural counterparts behind.

Former U.S. CTO Aneesh Chopra will moderate a webinar on April 16 at 1pm ET on eConsent and interoperability with DocuSign, Velatura, Mid-State Health Network and Southwest Michigan Behavioral Health.
The lack of adoption of interoperability tools by healthcare providers is a complex issue that requires a multi-faceted approach
The always-on, connected health system is not a distant moonshot, but today’s reality.
As the healthcare industry grapples with various challenges, from workforce shortages to complex coding intricacies, embracing AI can empower revenue cycle professionals to envision a future with reduced denials, optimized revenue, and fortified financial health.

Provider network teams need a better way to streamline healthcare delivery and amplify provider satisfaction. Unlocking value with provider network operations means a forward-looking, fresh approach and the right tools that deliver in four essential areas:
Jill DeGraff, B.well Connected Health’s senior vice president of regulatory, believes the ONC’s new HTI-1 rule is a step in the right direction that will improve data exchange for providers, health tech vendors and patients. She applauded the rule for preserving TEFCA as a voluntary framework and for establishing FHIR-based interoperability as the industry’s de facto standard.
Right-now value could come from extractive AI, a tool that gives organizations the power to put even handwritten text sent via images or PDF by digital fax into a structured data play.
Last week, the ONC announced that TEFCA had finally gone live. This followed years of the ONC heralding the project's potential to boost interoperability and increase patients’ access to their healthcare data. However, former ONC Chief Don Rucker believes that TEFCA is built on an archaic data exchange protocol that will prevent the initiative from being useful.
TEFCA’s goal is to establish a universal floor for interoperability across the country by developing the infrastructure model and governing approach for users in different networks to securely share basic clinical information with each other.
