June 16, 2025 — CommonWell Health Alliance was pleased to submit comments in response to the ONC/ASTP’s Request for Information (RFI) on the Health Technology Ecosystem. As a long-standing advocate for nationwide interoperability and a Designated QHIN under TEFCA, we support ONC’s and ASTP’s efforts to strengthen the ecosystem through aligned policy, technical standards, and infrastructure.

We commend the agencies for inviting input from stakeholders across the health IT landscape and appreciate the opportunity to share insights drawn from our experience building and operating a nationwide network at scale. Our feedback emphasizes the importance of trust frameworks, real-world use case adoption, and flexible approaches that meet providers, payers, and patients where they are.

We look forward to continuing to engage with ONC, ASTP, and the broader community to advance a more connected, equitable, and efficient health care system.
