AUG. 19: CMS Administrator Seema Verma
delivers the keynote address at the Strategic
Health Information Exchange Collaborative’s
annual meeting. SHIEC is made up of more
than 70 health information exchanges. “Our HIE
community needs to work closely with CMS
to achieve national interoperability goals, and
we know that SHIEC member HIEs will play a
significant role in achieving these goals,” SHIEC
CEO Kelly Hoover Thompson said in a release
announcing Verma’s speech.
AUG. 20: As earnings season winds down, Premier is slated to
announce its numbers before the markets open. Analysts are predicting
a year-over-year drop in earnings on lower revenue for the group
purchasing organization and consultancy. Revenue is projected to be
$433.02 million, down 0.2% from the same period last year.
AUG. 21-22: Back to interoperability, the Office of the National
Coordinator for Health Information Technology holds its 3rd
Interoperability Forum in Washington, D.C. Keynote speakers include
Dr. Simon Eccles, chief clinical information officer for the U.K.’s National
Health Service; Dr. Amy Abernethy, principal deputy commissioner of
food and drugs at the Food and Drug Administration; and ONC head
Dr. Donald Rucker. Our technology reporter, Jessica Kim Cohen, will
monitor the plenary sessions to report on breaking news and to see if
ONC officials offer any insights on the pending interoperability and data-
blocking final rule. —Matthew WeinstockONC, CMS brass to talk
