Welcome our Newest CommonWell General Members

2023-01-31T04:35:22-06:00

It is one of my favorite times of year. Football is in full force, the cooler Fall weather is upon us, and some of my favorite people are coming together for the Fall CommonWell Summit and Annual Meeting in Boston this week. Today, we welcome five new members to the Alliance, as we kick off our Summit at the New Member Welcome Meeting. It is hard to believe that this time last year we had 33 members and now we are just shy of 60 members and counting. Please join me in welcoming our newest members, who represent the diverse spectrum of our health care industry. CommonWell truly is an organization well positioned to improve the exchange of health data across the broad continuum of care. DocuTAP DocuTAP serves more [...]

Soon You Will Be Able to Access Your Own Health Data Thanks to CommonWell and Its Members

2023-01-31T04:35:22-06:00

From the beginning, CommonWell has been dedicated to a simple but crucial vision and underlying belief that health data should be available to individuals and providers regardless of where care occurs. After all, how many times have you arrived at a doctor’s appointment, only to have a clipboard handed to you to fill out your entire medical history, emergency contact information and information about other specialists you have seen? It has probably happened more than a few times, and with each handoff of the clipboard, you likely longed for a better way or wondered how it would all get taken care of in the event that you couldn’t fill out those forms yourself. At CommonWell, we believe that health data, regardless of where treatment occurs, should be available at your [...]

Recently, CommonWell member representatives Scott Stuewe (Director of the Cerner Network at Cerner and co-chair of the CommonWell Utilization Committee) and Daniel Cane (CEO and co-founder at Modernizing Medicine) participated in a HealthcareScene Blab with John Lynn.

VIDEO: Jitin Asnaani Featured on Hospitals & Health Networks |The Time is Now for Interoperability of Electronic Health Records

2023-01-31T04:35:24-06:00

Check our Executive Director Jitin Asnaani’s video interview with Paul Barr of Hospitals & Health Networks from HIMSS16. In the video, Asnaani discusses progress made with regard to national deployment of CommonWell cross-vendor interoperability services both in numbers—4,400 sites live nationwide and growing weekly—and care settings—members announced in February plans to deploy to post-acute care setting. “It’s really our opening thrust of a long deployment cycle as we continue adding thousands more sites over the coming years. We started out this past year and really made a hard push, 4,400 sites is something to be very happy about, and we’re not done yet.” To watch the video and learn about the focus of CommonWell in our fourth year and beyond, visit HHNmag.com.

One of those members – Redox – participated in the three-date Summit. Niko Skievaski, co-founder and president of Redox, shared his perspective on Tincture about both his vision of tangible interoperability as well as his first month as part of the CommonWell family. We hope you will take a minute and read about it below. Drinking from the Commons By Niko Skievaski, co-founder and president of Redox Getting to Real-World Interoperability The “Tragedy of the Commons” describes how farmers sharing common land will over-utilize it until it is useless.

HIMSS16 in the books

2023-01-31T04:35:25-06:00

Wow! It hardly seems possible that it was just a week ago when we were hosting our 4th consecutive booth at HIMSS. It was a packed four days, filled with networking, education and celebration. This year, we had 21 of our 40+ member companies participating at HIMSS. As you can see, they were proud to display their CommonWell membership, with many of them sharing service demos and testimonials on their booths. We also hosted a reception for our attending members on Monday evening. It was great to catch up with familiar faces and meet our newest members. And what a crew we had in attendance! If you weren’t able to attend HIMSS, you are still in luck! Many of our member companies participated in our inaugural CommonWell TV program, shot [...]

CommonWell Kicks off at HIMSS16 in Vegas!

2023-01-31T04:35:25-06:00

Hello from Vegas! HIMSS always feels like the beginning of a New Year to me. Since CommonWell first announced our formation at HIMSS 13 in New Orleans, it has become our tradition to use it as an opportunity to celebrate the past year’s successes, report on our progress and share our future plans. It is also a time to connect with our Alliance members, as well as old and new industry friends. I honestly look forward to it every year. This year, CommonWell is focused on featuring what our amazing members are doing, as we have had quite a past year. We now have 41 members, 21 of whom have a presence on the HIMSS show floor.  Keep an eye out for our CommonWell insignia across the show floor or [...]
