Thank you @SecKennedy, @OIGatHHS, and @HHS_TechPolicy for your leadership in enforcing information blocking so all Americans can access their digital health information where, when, and how they want to achieve their own health goals. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
We will not tolerate any company that blocks your right to access your health information—or your right to share it with the trusted parties you choose.

Exciting to see @CMSGov prioritize patients’ ability to access their own health records. One way we’re simplifying patient access to health information goes live this week, starting with four organizations: MyChart Central With it, patients will get a single login to access

As of 2023, #Direct is the most popular method among non-Federal acute care hospitals for sending information to other orgs. Read about the progress the Direct Standard® has made over the past decade & how it continues to shape interoperability: https://t.co/ahCn3OTNiE

They said it was impossible. They said it couldn't be done. But ladies and gentlemen, our scientists did it. @HIMSS is so back. The setting? It's of course the conference blackhole we cannot escape: the @VenetianVegas. Familiar. Comforting. Smoke filled. Romanesque This HIE

Everyone who thinks AI will replace software engineers are: —VCs investing in those startups —Founders / employees of those startups —AI influencers who hype everything —People who wish they majored in CS —People who hate techbros Real SWEs are like "well.. it's kinda helpful".
