A few weeks back, we shared that we were going to attend what we termed the Woodstock of Healthcare Interoperability which was the annual conference hosted by DirectTrust and Civitas. The good news is that the conference did not disappoint when it came to connecting and learning from the best and brightest healthcare interoperability experts in the industry. In case you missed it, you can see some of our previous coverage:
- Health Data Federalism vs States Data
- DirectTrust Directory Improvement Initiative
- Education and Communication as a Catalyst for Technology Adoption
We also did a number of short videos with experts at the event. Here’s a look at some of the insights they shared.
First up is Erica Galvez, CEO at Manifest MedEx talking about their work to address health equity and the challenge of getting the right data.

At the Secure Exchange Solutions booth I was lucky to talk with Angie Bass from Velatura who was recently nominated to the Civitas Board and the important HITAC committee. We ask her about that nomination and her thoughts on what she heard and experienced at the conference.
Great way to wrap up #Together4Health2022 chatting with @AngieBassMHA from @VelaturaPBC She shares what she heard at the event and talks about her nomination to the @civitas board and @ONC_HealthIT HITAC committee.
