Following the recent release of the Health Technology Ecosystem Request for Information (RFI), CMS hosted a successful listening session bringing together stakeholders across the healthcare ecosystem to discuss leveraging digital health innovations for enhanced patient care and system efficiencies.
We’re excited to announce our commitment to several key initiatives including:
- Building a dynamic, interoperable national provider directory;
- Bringing modern identity verification processes to Medicare.gov to streamline credentials across the healthcare system;
- Expanding functionality of CMS’ Blue Button 2.0 patient access application programming interface (API);
- Transitioning CMS’s Data at the Point of Care pilot to general availability; and
- Enhancing CMS’ participation in trusted data exchange.
These efforts and the RFI reflect CMS’ broader modernization agenda to accelerate digital health innovation, strengthen data security, enhance program integrity, and drive operational efficiencies across Medicare, Medicaid, and federal marketplaces. CMS is encouraging all interested parties to submit their comments on the RFI by June 16, 2025.
