Informonster Podcast

On this episode of the Informonster Podcast, Charlie Harp meets with CommonWell Health Alliance Executive Director, Paul Wilder, and Director of Product, Liz Buckle, to discuss the organization’s mission to provide universal access to data at the point of care for the right clinician and the right patient. While the goal is simple, getting there is incredibly complex. Charlie explains why Clinical Architecture decided to join this alliance, and both Paul and Liz talk about how they’ve been able to connect and share data through their growing nationwide network with the help of their members and initiatives like the CommonWell Connector™ program. The group also shared insights on how federal regulations have affected the push to universal interoperability and the importance of ensuring data quality along the way.
