[Industry Update] Secure Exchange Solutions (SES), the key component of Centauri Health Solutions’ cloud-based clinical data exchange platform, was invited to join CMS’s closed-door session on June 3 in Washington, D.C., bringing its expertise alongside federal leaders and healthcare innovators. This expert discussion follows the May 16 CMS Request for Information (RFI), a milestone initiative to modernize the U.S. health technology ecosystem to break down data access and interoperability barriers.
Rebecca Little, Senior Vice President at Secure Exchange Solutions (SES), represented the company’s commitment to advancing clinical data exchange across the healthcare continuum. A recognized leader in healthcare interoperability, Rebecca has testified before the U.S. House Subcommittee on Technology and Innovation, advocating for the meaningful use of health data and nationwide interoperability.
What We Heard: Key Takeaways from the Session
• Focusing on real-time data and quality is a top priority, and transitioning to API-based real-time data exchange is critical to move beyond retrospective workflows.
• Addressing data lifecycle, trust, and governance challenges with special emphasis on ensuring data is meaningful and usable at every point in the lifecycle.
• Bringing digital tools to the forefront to better serve patients and providers while reducing costs.
• Interest in TEFCA use case expansion, including broader TPO use cases.
