On July 31, 2025, CMS and the White House announced the launch of the Digital Health Tech Ecosystem, involving over 60 organizations from tech and health sectors.
Launch of Digital Health Tech Ecosystem
The launch of the Digital Health Tech Ecosystem aims to enhance data interoperability and patient empowerment. The initiative will provide streamlined workflows for providers and integrate digital tools for easy data sharing.
Involvement of Tech Companies
The initiative includes companies like Amazon, Google, and Apple. Amy Gleason emphasizes the importance of accurate and integrated data flow in healthcare. President Donald Trump highlighted the strong focus on creating a leading-edge healthcare experience for Americans.
Expansion of EHR Interoperability
The program builds on prior CMS mandates for EHR interoperability, but unlike previous regulations, it adopts a voluntary and non-regulatory approach. This may set new benchmarks for health technology interoperability.
The launch of the Digital Health Tech Ecosystem could significantly change approaches to data exchange in healthcare and the delivery of services, potentially impacting the crypto ecosystem in the long run.
