On Friday, Nov. 6, over 125 participants joined our webinar to learn about the progress we’re making on Project Unify, NIC’s proof-of-concept implementation initiative. Members of our Let’s Get Technical group led a conversation and provided an update on Unify, including its integral role in our latest initiative, the National Action Agenda to Advance Upstream Social Determinants and Health Equity.

The webinar presentation, featuring leaders of NIC's Let's Get Technical Team Brian Handspicker and Eric Jahn, charted Project Unify's progress and roadmapped the next several months. Additionally, the LGT team  demonstrated some exciting new developments in connecting multiple systems.  

Mary Kratz, EVP of the Interoperability Institute, wrote the blog we shared before this webinar. Please review this important and insightful contribution to the Project Unify work.

Also, a video recording of the webinar and the slide deck have been shared via the buttons above.
