SUMMARY:Kill the Clipboard: What Does the CMS-Aligned Network Strategy Mean for the Future of Interoperability
DESCRIPTION:This webinar examines two recent developments with the potential to reshape healthcare data exchange: the release of the Kill the Clipboard policy roadmap and the White House and CMS announcement of what they envision as a CMS-aligned network. While the past decade has brought significant policy progress through the HITECH Act\, 21st Century Cures Act\, and CMS Interoperability Rules\, much of the implementation has stalled. The Kill the Clipboard roadmap calls for renewed urgency to eliminate administrative waste\, modernize data exchange\, and build trust-based partnerships grounded in open standards. The White House and CMS announcement\, coupled with the CMS/ASTP/ONC Health Technology Ecosystem RFI\, and broader federal AI action plan\, clearly indicates this administration is prioritizing working with the private sector to help them more aggressively implement those open standards. This session will explore how these developments relate to each other and what they mean for the future of interoperability. It will unpack how this new federal push aligns with or diverges from TEFCA and other national exchange efforts\, and what role the private sector must play in order to move from proprietary solutions to sustainable\, standards-based ones. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nIdentify how the CMS-aligned network strategy reflects the policy priorities outlined in the Kill the Clipboard roadmap\nDescribe the structural and policy changes needed to improve the way healthcare data is shared and governed and why the EHR is no longer sufficient\nAnalyze how TEFCA and other national networks are positioned to evolve in response to this federal strategy\nAssess the opportunities and risks for public and private sector collaboration in advancing interoperable\, standards-based data exchange\n\nSpeakers: \n\nRyan Howells\, Principal Leavitt Partners\, an HMA Company\,\nDavid Lee\, Principal Leavitt Partners\, an HMA Company\,\nAneesh Chopra\, Chief Strategy Officer Arcadia\n\nThis webinar is intended for Chief Information Officers\, Chief Technology Officers and others who are working in digital policy and digital health transformation.

SUMMARY:RHTP: Opportunities for Sustainable Rural Health Transformation
DESCRIPTION:There is a lot for state leaders to consider in their applications for funds through the new federal Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP).
