Conclusion and Recommendations The CommonWell Health Alliance is focused on bringing together the right set of software, services and architecture that will enable search and index of both coarse-grained and fine-grained starting today with patient identification, patient (“chart”) (“atomic”) data, matching, consent management and record location services. These of course go hand-in-hand with privacy, security, and key management policies that enable our modular API-based architecture to work across vendors, providers and patients. ONC should practice as industry innovation like CommonWell, eHealthExchange, CCC and others are complete, “watchful waiting” while paving the way for the JASON vision by convening and encouraging complementary efforts, particularly the development of the FHIR standard (and FHIR profiles) to meet new use cases enabled by atomic data.
