In 2025, the organization announced more than 1.2 billion unique patient records as the network added new members across the U.S. 

BOSTON (February 26, 2026) – CommonWell Health Alliance, a nonprofit member-driven alliance and Qualified Health Information Network® (QHIN™), closed 2025 with significant progress toward the organization’s goals of advancing healthcare interoperability and building better access for patients. CommonWell’s work over the past year reflects its continued leadership, network investment, and commitment to member readiness for Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement™ (TEFCA™) participation and support of the CMS Interoperability Framework.

“Our goal remains to stay true to our mission: advancing a nationwide network that enables the secure, seamless flow of health information to improve patient care,” said Paul L Wilder, Executive Director of CommonWell Health Alliance. “We’re grateful and proud of our members’ work to realize interoperability, and remain focused on the technology, partnerships, policies, and relationships that allow trusted data exchange to thrive. We’re looking forward to another transformational year for health data exchange.”

Noteworthy milestones from 2025 include:

  • CommonWell pledged to become a CMS Aligned Network, meaning it will participate in and help define the newly announced CMS Interoperability Framework.
  • CommonWell successfully completed its migration from Change Healthcare to the ELLKAY platform, underscoring its commitment to member readiness for TEFCA.
  • The CommonWell Marketplace launched, providing a new one-stop shop for leading-edge technologies and services.

Additional benchmarks include interoperability at scale, with more than 1.2 billion patients represented in CommonWell’s MPI and more than 800 million clinical documents retrieved each month. CommonWell also welcomed 17 new members to the Alliance, including Theta Health, Arkana Laboratories, PrescriberPoint, Vivlio Health, and Guava Health, growing its membership to more than 90 diverse organizations united in advancing interoperability.
