Ms. Mannino, who also serves as executive vice president of Velatura Health Information Exchange, is leading Florida’s Trusted Data Sharing Organization, a first-of-its-kind nonprofit built on the premise that families should control their own health, financial, legal and insurance records. Her flagship initiative, the “Digital Backpack,” organizes families’ most critical documents into a single structured hub designed for the moments when natural disasters or crises make records hardest to find. This is a particularly critical need in a state where hurricanes routinely sever people from essential records. Ms. Mannino’s most recognized prior accomplishment is a Broward County youth mental health crisis notification initiative, for which she was named a DirectTrust “Interop Hero” in 2024. The program, which was built with the Broward Data Collaborative across multiple state agencies, health IT vendors and community organizations, surfaces crisis notifications to the right community partners in real time when a child is placed on an involuntary psychiatric hold, ensuring that for the roughly 24,000 children under age 17 affected annually in Florida, a support network is already in place upon their 72-hour release. Before Florida Trusted Data Sharing Organization, Ms. Mannino spent more than eight years at the Michigan Health Information Network as vice president of operations.
