Kill the Clipboard: What Does the CMS-Aligned Network Strategy Mean for the Future of Interoperability
August 8 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
A webinar is being held connected to the White House and CMS announcement about new CMS strategies for interoperability and the Health Technology Ecosystem. This webinar is hosted by Leavitt Partners, an HMA Company, in partnership with Arcadia, and will discuss the Kill the Clipboard policy roadmap and what they envision as a CMS-aligned network.
This webinar is designed for Chief Information Officers, Chief Technology Officers and others who are working in digital policy and digital health transformation (watch for a follow up session for strategy and operational leaders). Presenters include Kill the Clipboard authors Ryan Howells and David Lee from Leavitt Partners, an HMA Company, along with Arcadia’s Aneesh Chopra, formerly the US Chief Technology Officer.
While the past decade has brought significant policy progress through the HITECH Act, 21st Century Cures Act, and CMS Interoperability Rules, much of the implementation has stalled. The Kill the Clipboard roadmap calls for renewed urgency to eliminate administrative waste, modernize data exchange, and build trust-based partnerships grounded in open standards. The White House and CMS announcement, coupled with the Health Technology Ecosystem initiative, and broader federal AI action plan, clearly indicates this administration is prioritizing working with the private sector to more aggressively implement open standards and tools to support data sharing and decision-making.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify how the CMS-aligned network strategy reflects the policy priorities outlined in the Kill the Clipboard roadmap
- Describe the structural and policy changes needed to improve the way healthcare data is shared and governed and why the EHR is no longer sufficient
- Analyze how TEFCA and other national networks are positioned to evolve in response to this federal strategy
- Assess the opportunities and risks for public and private sector collaboration in advancing interoperable, standards-based data exchange
