Agenda

The Sequoia Project is a leader in convening government and industry to solve the nation’s pressing health IT interoperability challenges through its independently governed initiatives including the Patient Unified Lookup System for Emergencies (PULSE) and the RSNA Image Share Validation Program. To further drive connectivity in America, the Office of the National Coordinator (ONC) awarded The Sequoia Project a cooperative agreement to serve as the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (TEFCA) Recognized Coordinating Entity (RCE) to implement the vision for a “network of networks” providing doctors with a “single on-ramp” to share patient records. Ms. Yeager will discuss the scope of The Sequoia Project, as well as the TEFCA progress made in collaboration with the ONC.
