Ball in Our Court: CMS Seeks Industry Participation to Unlock AI for Consumers, Physicians, Payers and the ACOs that Better Organize Them

For the third time in 20+ years, we’ve born witness to a full alignment across the White House, ONC, CMS and HHS leadership —united in their mission to fulfill the promise of consumer-directed access to health data. The initiative aims to to:

• Deliver on the promise of safe, secure, simple consumer access to aggregate their own longitudinal health records
• Make it easier for physicians asserting a treatment relationship to connect the dots
• “Axe the fax” from today’s payer/provider data sharing lexicon by (finally) inviting them to share standardized clinical records.

President Bush’s 2004 State of the Union and subsequent actions to launch ONC, President Obama’s HITECH Act and subsequent actions associated with the Precision Medicine Initiative, and now President Trump’s Health Tech Ecosystem initiative.

We will provide a brief overview of what you likely already know – that 60+ organizations committed to participate in data sharing via new “CMS Aligned Networks” that build on modern identity standards and tap a national health directory to find the records you need.

Join Aneesh Chopra, Chief Strategy Officer at Arcadia and co-founder of CareJourney to explore the implications for risk-bearing networks, how to join as “early adopters” and to engage many of the AI-powered applications that will help you assist beneficiaries through their care journey.
