As Fred Bazzoli’s article on the ONC notes, work on interoperability has been happening for more than 20 years and the “coming attractions” are here.

While no one argues that we still have work to do, the 21st Century Cures Act, the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (TEFCA) and multiple other initiatives now serve as foundations and catalysts for the advancement of interoperability. As real strides are being made, this is an important aspect of my role on the board of directors for The Sequoia Project.
