Datavant Commits to CMS Aligned Network Framework to Accelerate Interoperability and Improve Secure Patient Record Exchange

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Datavant, the data collaboration platform trusted for healthcare, today announced its commitment to become a Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) Aligned Network. As part of this commitment, Datavant is accelerating initiatives already underway to make health information compliantly accessible, secure, and actionable.

“The CMS Health Tech Ecosystem Framework reinforces what we at Datavant believe: every healthcare decision should be powered by the right data, at the right time, in the right format,” said Datavant CEO, Kyle Armbrester. “Achieving true interoperability is difficult - but we will be able to overcome obstacles faster when we work together.”

Datavant has built the largest, most diverse health data exchange network in the U.S., working with more than 80,000 hospitals and clinics, every health insurance company in the U.S., 18 of the top 20 pharmaceutical companies, government agencies, and more than 300 real-world data partners. The Company’s privacy-preserving technologies and interoperability solutions directly support CMS’ goals of modernizing health data exchange while maintaining the highest standards of compliance-by-design and data integrity.

“The harsh truth is that healthcare today is running on decades-old technology systems and regulations. We cannot manage the vastness and complexity of health information today using yesterday’s technology and practices. While there is a lot of work to do to bridge the gaps between disparate data sources to enable secure, compliant, and efficient use of health information for decision-making, this collective commitment is an essential step in the right direction. We look forward to building on our pledge and working with the Administration and companies across the industry to expand, innovate, and enable the compliant use of data to improve health outcomes,” added Armbrester.
