The 2025 CommonWell Fall Summit in Indianapolis united the nation’s fiercest champions of health data exchange—on site and online—for two days of bold debate, real-world insights, and a clear-eyed look at the next decade of connected care.
Despite federal rules and major investments in digital health infrastructure, many patients still face frustrating barriers when trying to get their own health information. At a recent federal meeting, patients shared real-life stories that highlighted just how broken the process still is. In this blog, we reflect on what we heard, why usability and accountability still lag behind, and what it will take to truly make patient-centered access a reality.
We’re excited to welcome four new members to CommonWell Health Alliance—each bringing unique expertise and a shared commitment to improving health data exchange. From cutting-edge genomics to virtual-first care and next-gen interoperability platforms, these organizations are helping us advance our mission of #InteropDoneRight. Meet DocNow, Healthier, Redox, and Savoy Health—our newest collaborators in building a more connected healthcare ecosystem.
HIMSS25 is a wrap, and the takeaways are clear: AI is everywhere, patient access is finally gaining traction, and interoperability is no longer a side conversation—it’s the main event. From packed demo sessions to late-night networking (and a few post-conference colds), the CommonWell team left with plenty to reflect on. Dive into our hot takes on the future of health IT, the rise of patient access, and why data quality remains the key to unlocking AI’s full potential.
We’re excited to welcome Agadia and MEDENT to the CommonWell Health Alliance!
