Public needs to bring these type of issues to their attention. They need more information blocking complaints! Those submitting complaints will be protected and kept confidential. They are not subject to FOIA requests.

FTC looking to support the next generation of health IT innovators. Describing how “these platforms” produce “lock in effects” for those who have adopted the products. That likely denotes anti-competitive practices.

At the #ASTP2026 conference, @FTC (antitrust division), @TheJusticeDept, and @OIGatHHS have entered the chat to discuss information blocking 201 with the @HHS_TechPolicy. It’s getting real, folks. 🧵

One of the best ways that we can help Make America Healthy Again is by leveraging and developing our health technology. By giving patients and doctors access to personalized information in real time, we can both improve and save lives. Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Health Tech Connectathon today!

@SebastianCaliri @azenooz Don’t you mean FIRE compliant APIs @SebastianCaliri? 😉

@azenooz People are rumored to taking advantage of the outage to use all kinds of uncertified EHRs and implementing various non-FHIR compliant APIs. It's chaos out there!!

The prolonged shutdown is starting to have profound consequences. Apparently it has become too costly to host a set of free text web pages, and even to use spell check.

@HeyEpic @carinalliance @texashealth Yea!! More than 1M digital insurance cards being exchanged per month using the @carinalliance @HL7 #FHIR IG for digital insurance cards and we are just getting started. I can’t wait until we hit 100M/month. 😮👏🏼

Onstage with @carinalliance and @texashealth at #HLTH2025 discussing how using open standards and digital insurance cards can streamline patient registration and kill the clipboard. Recently crossed over a million digital insurance cards shared each month—helping patients confirm their coverage up front and avoid surprises later.
