The health information network's executive director, Jay Nakashima, sees big progress with 21st century Cures Act compliance, TEFCA, data quality, FHIR adoption and information exchange among providers, public health agencies and labs.
This week I had a chance to attend the eHealth Exchange Annual meeting to learn more about what’s happening with their network along with a wide variety of inteorperability topics. When you attend a meeting like the eHealth Exchange annual meeting, you learn how they have over 2 billion transactions happening every month.
The following is a guest article by Jay Nakashima, President at eHealth Exchange An FDA project aims to make it as easy as possible for clinicians to report adverse drug events and share important clinical data with public health agencies to investigate the event.
One of the early people involved with trying to encourage EHR adoption and interoperability of records, he’s had a big influence on the EHR industry and interoperability as we know it. As CEO of the Massachusetts eHealth Collaborative (MAeHC) […].
After more than 15 years of creating and pushing health IT innovations forward in the state, the Massachusetts eHealth Collaborative has completed its final dissolution. It has also spearheaded interoperability, standards development and HIT policy initiatives.
The following is a guest article by Dan Torrens , CEO at eHealth Technologies Health information management teams everywhere are constantly doing more, but somehow it always feels like playing catch up. Notably, between 30 and 47 percent of U.S. hospitals still rely on fax or mail to send and receive patient records.
eHealth Exchange , a non-profit started by Health & Human Services and now a separate non-profit, helps health care institutions exchange over two billion records a month. He is also looking forward to wider adoption of FHIR, which eHealth Exchange has been working with since 2017. Tell us what you think.
For quite a while now I’ve had this cognitive dissonance in my head about healthcare interoperability. On the one hand, I’d see all these announcements about the success of interoperability projects and the literally millions and billions of health records and data that’s being shared.
There are a lot of components to consider and talk about in regards to interoperability and data sharing. Today we are going to focus on the innovative technologies and standards that are currently being employed to make our dreams of a better system of interoperability and data sharing a reality. The following are their answers.
Arcadia (arcadia.io), a widely-recognized leader in population health management, today announced that it has acquired selected assets of the Massachusetts eHealth Collaborative (MAeHC), including technology and significant customer accounts.
The following is a guest article by Jay Nakashima, President at eHealth Exchange Change is scary. At eHealth Exchange, which is one of the first Qualified Health Information Networks™ (QHINs™) under TEFCA, we have a front-row seat to the framework’s ongoing implementation. eHealth Exchange is embracing both use cases.
Home care visit verification platform leverages FHIR Health tech startup didgUgo is set to provide IT system interoperability to its partners who use its care visit verification solution. The company partnered with InterSystems to adopt the IRIS for Health platform to offer interoperability based on FHIR standards.
The TEFCA sets standards for healthcare data interoperability that enables healthcare providers, patients, payers, health information exchanges (HIEs), healthcare IT vendors, and other healthcare organizations to securely and effectively share healthcare data.
eHealth Exchange’s Executive Director already shared that not all QHINs will be created equal. That event happened today and the big news coming out of the event was the six organizations that applied and have been officially designated as QHINS.
Nationwide Interoperability: It’s been a concept, a term bandied about for a while in various forms, but for those of us who have worked in health IT for more than a few years, we know that it has taken a long time for transformational change to be felt by the providers and the individuals they serve.
We talk a lot about sharing data and how it will improve patient outcomes and interoperability, but do we talk enough about how to do it safely? Jay Nakashima, President at eHealth Exchange Keeping patient data safe and private is our top priority. So not only is it highly sensitive, it is also highly sought-after.
We’ll see how effective it is at solving the healthcare interoperability problem. USCDI Version 3 : Adopts the United States Core Data for Interoperability (USCDI) Version 3 (v3) as the new baseline standard within the ONC Health IT Certification Program (Certification Program) as of January 1, 2026.

Following the announcement of implementation of the Carequality-CommonWell interoperability collaboration, I was fortunate enough to catch up with Micky Tripathi ( @mickytripathi1 ) to discuss this development and put it in context. Micky is bullish on interoperability, both over the near term (the next 12-18 months) and the long term.

Here are some specific reflections: FHIR adoption: We missed the mark on our HL7® Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR®) growth prediction. Through our research with our partners at Sage Growth, we found that only 62% of providers and 38% of payers have adopted the FHIR standard for their data interoperability use cases.
High-quality, reliable data is crucial to getting most things done in healthcare, especially for healthcare interoperability. We’ve made some great strides in improving interoperability, in no small part due to the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (TEFCA).
eHealth is one of the tools that could be used towards achieving VBHC, and the MOPH has a long-term strategy to drive the growth and development of eHealth from 2017-2026.
The following is a guest article by Jay Nakashima, Executive Director at eHealth Exchange. For federal agencies and state and regional exchanges, this is an excellent time to demonstrate leadership in interoperability by joining a network that will likely provide a ready on-ramp to TEFCA.
InterSystems announces it has been selected by the eHealth Exchange, the largest nationwide health information network connecting the public and private sectors, as the technology partner powering the network’s latest expansion plans. The eHealth Exchange enables federal agencies, […].
This work supports broader efforts to modernize healthcare and drives interoperability. This growing public-private collaboration signals progress toward achieving nationwide interoperability. It is the right policy construct for America to use to make sure we get to nationwide interoperability.”
We previously shared ONC’s big QHIN announcement which shared the names of five officially designated QHINs as part of TEFCA: eHealth Exchange Epic Nexus Health Gorilla KONZA MedAllies No doubt, the timing of this announcement was planned to coincide with the ONC Annual Meeting in Washington DC.
Health IT vendors are working hard to build the kind of technology that will realize true electronic interoperability. CMS Launches eHealth. If you are at the HIMSS conference in New Orleans today, I hope you will stop by our CMS Town Hall (Session 81, 1:00-2:00 pm, New Orleans Theater C) to hear more about our eHealth initiatives.

The CommonWell Health Alliance has access to 29,000 sites and 153 million individuals; Carequality has access to 55,000 sites and 300,000,000 document exchanges per month; and eHealth Exchange has access to 75,000 sites and 120 million individuals. The paper, 2023: State of U.S.
Technology vendors, including InterSystems, CLEAR and Innovaccer, also formed new partnerships that streamline data management, promote secure interoperability and track operational performance.
