The Alliance is open to all organizations who are aligned with our vision to make health data accessible, helping to improve care coordination and health outcomes. Members today range from health systems to non-profits, government agencies to health IT vendors and much more. For more information about joining CommonWell, visit our Membership Information page.
Our efforts are complementary to many of the other interoperability efforts that exist today. CommonWell supports and works with other health IT initiatives, such as HIMSS, DirectTrust, Carequality, eHealth Initiative, NATE, The Sequoia Project, The Argonaut Project and HL7 — all of which are contributing to the enhancement of true interoperability in unique and valuable ways. CommonWell is also in the application process to become a Qualified Health Information Network (QHIN) and is looking forward to working with other potential QHINs to ensure the success of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of the National Coordinator’s Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (TEFCA).
CommonWell services initially rolled out in four states less than two years after our foundation in March of 2013. In its first five years, CommonWell went from having seven Founding Members and a road map to offering interoperability services to 80 members and more than 14,000 provider sites live on its services. Today CommonWell has more than 34,000 provider sites live, 201 million individuals in the network and has retrieved more than 3.9 billion records. CommonWell was also recently announced as one of the six potential QHINs as part of TEFCA. CommonWell marked its 10-year anniversary in 2023. Learn more here.
