This past week was a big one for nationwide #interoperability at the Annual Meeting(s) of Carequality, The Sequoia Project, and eHealth Exchange. The topic of the year, it seems, was clearly the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (#TEFCA), with more than half a dozen panels and discussions touching on the efforts by the RCE to advance the network.

The Sequoia Project meeting was a stunning showcase of a major year for the organization, including the announcement of TWELVE submitted letters of intent for organizations interested in becoming QHINs. The Information Blocking Workgroup discussed their many resources and deliverables, as well as their intention to follow the trend of ONC and rebrand as the "Information Sharing" WG in 2023.

The Data Usability Workgroup announced the release of V1.0 of their Data Usability Guide after an impressive effort of coordination. Further, the Consumer Voices WG outlined (with real world examples) the importance of highlighting patient and caregiver stories. Lastly, the Emergency Preparedness workgroup will have an expanding scope to include multiple Public Health use cases.

In all, these three conferences show us that 2022 was a big year for interoperability. 2023 could be even bigger.
