Cheers to CommonWell Health Alliance ! Hard work pays off. QHIN Designated last week and on the road to TEFCA. When in doubt, celebrate with cake and some decent bubbly.

We, CommonWell Health Alliance,
at the Sequoia/Carequality Annual Meeting and sharing some thoughts and learnings. Liz Buckle (middle in pic) explaining how to get from point A to point B by taking small steps to build trust to make big changes stick.

This just needs to be shared amongst more people. One of the most relatable captioned pictures ever. reddit.com/r/mildlyinfuri…

Lots out about AI making up info to fill in gaps. But, is it worse than human experts? Take Halamka (legit health tech expert) quote in article about TEFCA & nursing when SNFs are most welcome to participate in TEFCA. Oh, & down w/ faxes, working on it! tinyurl.com/mry6y8n9

To all hotels looking to step it up. A fire pit on your balcony is solid-s’mores kit is next level. Makes up for the band outside your window when you are considering early bedtime. It’s only 8:30 PM PDT but I have travel+conference sleep loss issues. It’s inbox w/ fire pit time!

But I did take pics outside a meeting room at Health Evolution in Laguna Beach. Quite a view! Amazing conversations and knowledge sharing. Different focus but a lot on data exchange, usage and workflows here too. #InteropDoneRight . Thank you wellsky for the panel
Invite.

I’ll add… Don’t be afraid to let them read it AND correct what is wrong. I have found a bunch of wrong things in my own records. Patients can help with the data correction. I’m the most interested person in my data being accurate & it will matter one day. Especially with Dr AI

Another year, another HIMSS in the books. 2 full days of great conversations and chats. I honestly did not have more than 10 minutes to spare and I realize I never took a single picture - hope some others will share some with me. You selfie masters all know who you are!

The story is real (names changed to protect the innocent) and absolutely shows the need for interop. Interop not an end tech, it’s a building block that jet fuels up a community of well designed products and workflows. Check it out! And thank you to all Members for the support.

I agree. A pretty solid take on the action

200 million is indeed a big @** number! It all starts with one:
- Mar 2013: CommonWell is Born
- Jan 2014: Person #1 is registered
- Oct 2017: 20M
- Oct 2020: 100M
- March 2023: 200M Persons
See you all at the next 100M! #InteropDoneRight

No surprise... most people do not like data about them held up and there is potentially more harm in holding as people wait and worry. From a patient perspective, I agree 100%! The unknown cannot be addressed. The known starts an action plan. #FreeTheData . bit.ly/3JTwlFT

As a counter, I am about to come out of stealth mode with a do not e-mail me this attendee list solution. Round 2 money is already lined up to fund the effort at numbers no one can fathom.

A heartfelt Merry Women's Day and thank you to all the women. Specific shout out to all in my life - my wife, all of CommonWell's employees + primary contractors (yes, all are women) and my daughters paving the way for yourself and the next generations. UN Women #EmbraceEquity

Smiles and handshakes galore at this momentous event for CommonWell Health Alliance, HHS.gov, the ONC and the other #QHINs For those worried about the handshaking, I saw solid use of hand sanitizer.

Your company proudly earns a recognition certificate from HHS/ONC. Company is virtual so no office to display it. Have a relatively neat standup work space & may move to different spot in home w/out walls. Where does the certificate go (red arrow)? Can’t bump the pic of my girls.

As you can likely guess I had a lot more to say but my voice went bonkers there for a bit. Never finished my analogy or got dreamwork in there.

Now that the #TEFCA cat is out of the bag, can share a picture from the front row with some friends and fellow #QHINs . Steve Yaskin of Health Gorilla and Therasa Bell of Kno2. Epic, eHealthExchange and KONZA National Network just down the way rounding out the first 6.

A proud moment for CommonWell Health Alliance and for #InteropDoneRight . Keep your hands and arms inside the vehicle at times. The ride is not over yet.

FTC headline 'GoodRx’s not-so-good privacy practices come to light' Reminder to digital health & others that the FTC does indeed have a Health Breach Notification Rule and it is back and using it. I think this is the 1st time FTC enforced this 2009 Rule consumer.ftc.gov/consumer-alert…
