VP, Data and Ecosystem Platform at athenahealth. My goal is to make data "just there" for people that give and receive care. Join me.

[Sam Lambson @SamLambson]

Here's a story about how I got into interoperability, and after a few years at it, some perspective on how we can build a more connected healthcare ecosystem. What would you add? https://t.co/z56Lp1aWU9

[Sam Lambson @SamLambson]

For decades, @Oracle Health has championed nationwide interoperability and advocated for patient data rights. This announcement is a testament to our commitment to the needs of patients and providers. I’m proud to celebrate this milestone with our friends at @CommonWell!

[CommonWell Health Alliance @CommonWell]

📣 It's OFFICIAL! 📣

We are thrilled to announce we have been designated as a #QHIN! We're at a pivotal moment in the journey toward #TEFCA & excited to join other QHINs & move forward.

Fun to see a packed audience for our session on managing the deluge of data. The panel represented diverse perspectives on data exchange & techniques to make data usable. The focus must be on extracting insights that inform care decisions & improve clinician experience. #HIMSS23

[Sam Lambson @SamLambson]

@OracleHealth, we’re working to advance data usability. Efforts to establish interoperability are ineffective if clinicians aren’t equipped with the tools to make sense of the volumes of data. We must simplify workflows and reduce documentation burden for clinicians. 3/3

[Sam Lambson @SamLambson]

Great discussion at the HIMSS HIE breakfast panel this morning. This is the decade of interoperability; there are countless initiatives underway that chip away at industry challenges – TEFCA, USCDI. 1/3

[Sam Lambson @SamLambson]

In the next few years, we’ll have huge data to manage and to truly derive value, we must ensure our data management infrastructure is prepared to support rapid innovation at scale. 2/3

[Sam Lambson @SamLambson]

10 years into @CommonWell, we forget how bold it was for otherwise competing companies to come together to address a challenge that was not going to fix itself. I'm proud of @OracleHealth's role among the founders, and our continued support. Congrats to all who made this possible

[CommonWell Health Alliance @CommonWell]

CommonWell was announced at #HIMSS13 to a shocked audience. This month, we mark our 10th anniversary! 🎉🎉

Read @paul_wilder's article in @hcittoday: https://t.co/3PdqaZRBsB and stay tuned for more ways to celebrate.

“Imagine the possibilities for our Veterans” made possible by the TEFCA QHINs! @ShereefElnahal Under Secretary for Health, VA. So much we can do to support our Veterans with healthcare tech innovation! Proud of @CommonWell and @OracleHealth and all others making TEFCA possible!

[Sam Lambson @SamLambson]

Secretary @XavierBecerra announces @CommonWell has been accepted as one of the first 6 Qualified Health Information Networks under TEFCA. This is a major milestone in the 10+ year collaboration with @OracleHealth @Cerner and all network members! Hooray! #Interoperability

[Sam Lambson @SamLambson]

TEFCA represents a hugely meaningful step toward simplifying data exchange, improving the caregiver experience, and advancing industrywide interoperability.

Here’s a helpful @AHIMAResources panel discussing what #TEFCA means for your organization. https://t.co/YgoTiBREiP

[Sam Lambson @SamLambson]

@JSPatelMD @Ascensionorg @Cerner @Oracle It’s almost unbelievable! But we continue to find that the rate of duplication near 99% - but that also means that we can find the needle in the haystack that is usable, novel data from the outside.

[Sam Lambson @SamLambson]

Was my pleasure to discuss information sharing networks, data completeness, and improving the user experience in healthcare through #interoperability at #OCHC22 Thank you @paul_wilder from @CommonWell @AscensionHealth’s @docdesaIT and @EHRMVA for your participation!!

[Sam Lambson @SamLambson]

@oroscojc Glad you were there @oroscojc !

[Sam Lambson @SamLambson]

Thanks to everyone who attended and participated in this session.

As we explored earlier, data portability and duplicative information impacts patients and care teams alike. I’m looking forward to tackling information overload and connectivity with everyone in this room. #OCHC22

[Oracle Health @OracleHealth]

“We have about a billion documents moving every 3-4 months—the scale is big, but what we’ve done is simplify the scale… It allows for a much faster on-ramp to get stuff done.”

@CommonWell Executive Director @Paul_Wilder speaking on the #OCHC22 Seamless Exchange panel

[Sam Lambson @SamLambson]

Before next month’s Oracle Cerner Health Conference, join us on Monday, Oct. 17 for the #OCHC22 Interoperability Collaboration Forum!

Hear industry leaders discuss emerging real-world interoperability scenarios, updates on Seamless Exchange, and what’s next for interoperability.

[Oracle Health @OracleHealth]

Have you registered for #OCHC22?

Next month, we'll gather with some of the brightest minds in healthcare and technology to network, engage and learn from one another in the hopes of transforming care delivery.

View our agenda and reserve your spot today: https://t.co/XIh1Y1mlCM

Pulled all the high quality video from @nasa DART’s website to make this stabilized timelapse of the mission. Pretty incredible they pulled this off, and we’re able to get these images uploaded despite bandwidth limitations before the spacecraft met its doom. RIP #DARTMission

[Sam Lambson @SamLambson]

Improving industrywide interoperability provides care teams with a holistic view of the patient’s care history.

Register for today's webinar, where we’ll discuss how enhancing data usability can help patients and providers make informed care decisions: https://t.co/X37FV4FJlI

[AMIA @AMIAinformatics]

Join @paul_wilder at @CommonWell & Mike Warner at @Cerner for an insightful (and free 😉) webinar on improving patient care through advancements in data exchange.

Details: 2pm ET on 9/22

Healthcare is personal. I recently had the chance to sit down with @Surescripts to share what drives my passion for #interoperability. I had a good time talking about my youth in Hong Kong, playing rugby, and dealing with a pandemic and earthquake! https://t.co/R6E55CSEKw

[Nasim Afsar, MD @NasimAfsarMD]

Connecting internal and external patient data into a longitudinal patient record can simplify workflows and reduce the burden currently placed on care teams.

We owe it to our care teams and patients to provide holistic views of patient care history through agreements like TEFCA.

[Sam Lambson @SamLambson]

@Cerner @CommonWell I had the chance to write about our ongoing efforts to promote healthcare connectivity – and why @CommonWell is uniquely positioned to advance the principles and ideas proposed within TEFCA. https://t.co/pjNdGRJ7eT

[Sam Lambson @SamLambson]

When the @Cerner team helped found @CommonWell in 2013, we were intent on breaking down the technological and process barriers that prevented effective health-data exchange.

We’re thrilled CommonWell will further this mission by applying to become a QHIN under TEFCA.

[Oracle Health @OracleHealth]

“True interoperability can help caregivers better connect with their patients, discover new treatments and improve overall communities’ health outcomes.”

@SamLambson considers what @CommonWell’s TEFCA application means for healthcare data connectivity. https://t.co/WOmypYvdeB
