## Resource

Data sharing in healthcare is deeply broken. Waiting years for federal rules to take effect only hurts patients and frustrates IT teams. We need a faster approach. Healthcare IT Today sat down with Amy Gleason, Administrator at the US Digital Service and Strategic Advisor to CMS and HHS. She breaks down the new CMS Health Tech Ecosystem pledge and explains how the industry is voluntarily coming together to solve interoperability right now. You will hear the inside details on the push for a National Provider Directory, strict identity verification, and the plan to finally kill the medical clipboard. Are we ready to ditch the clipboard in healthcare? Drop your thoughts below. 🔔 Subscribe for more great interviews with Health IT leaders.
