Building Trusted Health Data Exchange at Scale: Leveraging National Interoperability Infrastructure for State Health Innovation
As states continue modernizing health information exchange, Medicaid programs, public health systems, and CMS-aligned initiatives, the challenge is no longer simply exchanging data—it is exchanging trusted, secure, and usable data at scale.
Join leaders from State HIT Connect, HL7 FAST, the HL7 Da Vinci Project, and the Sequoia Project for an educational discussion on how national interoperability initiatives are converging to create the infrastructure needed for the next generation of healthcare transformation.
This session will demonstrate how FAST provides the trust infrastructure for identity, security, consent, directories, and testing; how Da Vinci operationalizes payer-provider workflows that reduce administrative burden and improve care coordination; and how Sequoia’s Interoperability Matters Initiative helps ensure that exchanged data is complete, reliable, and fit for clinical and operational use.
Together, these complementary efforts provide states with a practical roadmap for implementing scalable, standards-based interoperability that aligns with evolving CMS and ONC priorities.
Participants will leave with a better understanding of how national standards and implementation communities can help states accelerate interoperability, strengthen trust across health networks, reduce administrative complexity, and improve outcomes for providers, payers, public health agencies, and the patients they serve.
Learning Objectives
• Why trusted infrastructure is the foundation for statewide interoperability.
• How FAST, Da Vinci, and Sequoia complement one another to support real-world implementation.
• How these initiatives align with CMS and ONC priorities, including CMS-aligned networks and nationwide health information exchange.
• Practical opportunities for states, HIEs, Medicaid agencies, health plans, providers, and technology partners to participate in pilots, testing, and implementation activities.
• Strategies for accelerating statewide interoperability while leveraging existing national standards and collaborative frameworks.
