The five vendors to adopt the framework are athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Epic, NextGen Healthcare and Surescripts.
“The adoption of the Carequality Framework represents a major leap forward for nationwide interoperability,” said Dave Cassel, director of Carequality. “By these organizations committing to unified Rules of the Road, they are simplifying system-to-system connections to make data exchange easier for a significant portion of the healthcare ecosystem.”
The Carequality Interoperability Framework was born out of The Sequoia Project, a nonprofit dedicated to implemented secure, interoperable nationwide health information exchange. The framework was released in December 2015.
