## Resource

In this video, Paul L Wilder, Executive Director of the CommonWell Health Alliance, discusses the spread of health data exchange as it involves not just providers but new actors such as payers, public health, and patients themselves. CommonWell, a nonprofit QHIN that started in 2013 and has an enormous reach today, contains IT vendors ranging from startups to big EHR vendors, and providers now as well. For a long time, Wilder says, EHRs supported only unidirectional data exchange: they would allow it to be extracted but not inserted. Now it's more bidirectional.
