A Future of Finance interview with Alexandre Kech, CEO of GLEIF.There are two main obstacles to the scaling of the markets in digital assets and one of them is the lack of interoperability between blockchain networks and between blockchain networks and traditional financial markets. The default answer, hallowed by history in multiple industries, is standards. By enabling different networks to exchange data, they multiply the overall volume of counterparties and transactions. Unfortunately, attempts to achieve interoperability standards in digital assets suffer from limited usage and winner-takes-all proprietorial schemes, condemning most market participants to deploy risky or clumsy workarounds. So it is significant that the Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation (GLEIF), set up by the Financial Stability Board in 2014 to overcome a major accelerant of the Great Financial Crisis of 2007 to 2009 – namely, the lack of a trusted counterparty identification standard on a global scale – has broadened its work to encompass digital assets. Dominic Hobson, co-founder of Future of Finance, spoke to Alex Kech, CEO of GLEIF. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Elaina McMillan, a director of product marketing at Edifecs, describes the challenges and opportunities around healthcare data interoperability with a focus on prior authorization. Standardizing prior authorization workflows and data submissions across payers is a major focus to reduce delays and errors. Ensuring data security and patient consent are critical concerns, especially for smaller payers with limited resources to comply with mandates. Elaina explains, "Primarily, what I work on and what Edifecs is most known for is our healthcare data interoperability platform, which includes EDI standards and the new-ish since 2020 FHIR standards. So we're really focused on that. How I would explain it is the data engine that helps payers get things done with quality data through the standardization of that. In addition, we have a whole set of what we call workflow solutions or applications that you can actually build on top of the data platform. So it helps to do things like claims correction, enrollment management, value-based payments, risk adjustment, prior authorization, and consent management." "So the one that actually comes to mind for me right now, and largely that's because of the recent interoperability and prior authorization mandate, is the prior authorization workflow. A lot of providers don't like the workflow itself and the prior authorizations. What happens today generally is that providers are contracted with a lot of different payers. All of these payers have their own systems and processes through which the provider needs to submit. So one problem is that the providers are managing multiple different workflows, processes, platforms, and technologies." #HealthTech #Interoperability #HealthcareInnovation #PatientCare #PatientAccess #WomenInTech #WhatIRun edifecs.com Download the transcript here

Brendan Keeler's path into healthcare interoperability has been anything but straightforward. After early stints implementing Epic in the U.S. and Europe, he helped hundreds of startups connect to provider and payer systems at Redox, Zus Health and Flexpa before taking the reins of the Interoperability Practice at HTD Health. Along the way, his Health API Guy blog turned dense policy updates into plain-language guides, earning a following among developers, executives and regulators. In this episode, Keith Figlioli sits down with Keeler to examine the “post-Meaningful-Use” moment. They discuss how national networks like Carequality and CommonWell solved much of the provider-to-provider exchange problem, only to expose new gaps for payers, life-science firms and patients. Keeler says the real action right now is in three places where the biggest, most dramatic changes are about to happen: Antitrust pressure on dominant EHRs. Epic's push into ERP, payer platforms and life-sciences services could trigger “leveraging” claims that force unbundling, similar to cases already moving through federal court. Information-blocking enforcement. Recent lawsuits show courts siding with smaller vendors when incumbents restrict data access, a trend Keeler believes could unwind long-standing moats around systems of record. A CMS-led shift from policy to execution. With ONC budgets flat, Keeler sees CMS using its purchasing power to unblock Medicare claims data at the point of care, expand Blue Button APIs, and accelerate work on a national provider directory, digital ID and trusted exchange frameworks. Keeler's optimism is pragmatic. AI agents may someday chip away at entrenched EHR “data gravity,” but real progress, he says, will come from steady, bipartisan layering of HIPAA, Cures Act and TEFCA foundations. He also pushes back on venture capital's “system-of-action” thesis. Enterprise EHRs remain sticky because switching costs—massive data migration and workflow retraining—are measured in decades, not funding cycles. AI could reduce these problems, but only slowly and only if underpinned by trusted exchange standards. Zooming out, Keeler describes a policy arc that starts with provider-to-provider exchange, widens to payer and patient access, and ultimately points toward a nationwide digital ID that could streamline consent and credentialing. For innovators, his north star is clear: build for identity-verified, standards-based exchange; assume open APIs will become table stakes; and judge success by the friction you subtract from everyday care—not by how flashy the demo is. To hear Brendan Keeler and Keith unpack these issues, listen to this episode of Healthcare is Hard: A Podcast for Insiders. Please note that this episode was recorded earlier this summer, before the CMS meeting, and that some developments have occurred since then.
In this episode of Quality Matters, health IT veteran and standards-editor John D'Amore joins host Andy Reynolds to unpack the deeper purpose behind the push to improve data quality. Drawing on decades of experience, from startups and academic research to national standards and consulting, John explains why the real goal isn't just clean data or seamless interoperability. It's better care, delivered more efficiently.Listen to this episode to discover:Interoperability is a Tool, Not the Goal: John compares interoperability to a power drill—valuable only when it helps achieve better care outcomes. Economic Incentives and Bipartisan Momentum: Learn why following the money reveals the true levers of change. From value-based purchasing to performance bonuses, John shows how economic feedback loops accelerate improvements in data quality. Good Pipes, Bad Water: Explore the disconnect between robust data pipelines and poor data flowing through them. John breaks down why measuring the quality of data is essential for progress. Why Quality Measurement is the Real Catalyst: John argues that quality measurement, not interoperability, is what drives meaningful change. Discover how improving data quality can yield long-term benefits across the health care ecosystem, far beyond quality improvement.This episode is essential listening for health IT leaders, quality professionals and policy makers who want to understand the deeper purpose behind the quest for data quality and how it's shaping the future of care.Key Quote:We don't really want interoperability for its own sake. Free flow of information if it's never used by the destinations isn't useful. It doesn't improve care. It doesn't bring down costs.When you go to Home Depot or Lowe's and buy a power drill, what are you really trying to buy? You want holes in the wall. Interoperability is the tool or the power drill that delivers the holes that we want, and the holes are better, more efficient care that reduces costs.I mean, can we envision a future where health care costs go down year over year? It sounds almost impossible. It sounds like a fantasy land. I think that's going to be within reach within the next 20 years. -John D'AmoreTime Stamps:(03:21) Interoperability's Incentives, Means and Ends(06:42) Good Pipes, Bad Water(09:38) Next-Generation Data Validation(12:06) Correcting Myths and Misconceptions(14:17) Quality Drives Interoperability, Not Vice VersaDive Deeper:NCQA's Improving HEDIS Data Quality in a Digital WorldNCQA's Data Aggregator ValidationHEDIS Compliance AuditConnect with John D'Amore

The invisible legal architecture behind AI systems, either talking to each other or failing spectacularly, takes center stage in this deep dive into interoperability. Far more than technical specifications, the ability of AI models to connect and share data represents a battlefield where intellectual property rights, competition law, and global governance clash to determine who controls the digital ecosystem.Starting with IBM's mainframe antitrust case, we trace how European regulators forced a tech giant to provide third parties with technical documentation needed for maintenance. This early precedent established that when your system becomes essential infrastructure, monopolizing access raises legal red flags. The SAS v. World Programming Limited ruling further clarified that functionality, programming languages, and data formats cannot be protected by copyright, giving developers freedom to create compatible systems without infringement concerns.Patent battles reveal another dimension of interoperability politics. Cases like Huawei v. ZTE established detailed protocols for negotiating Standard Essential Patents, preventing companies from weaponizing their intellectual property to block competitors. The Microsoft v. Motorola judgment defined what "reasonable" licensing fees actually look like, protecting the principle that interoperability shouldn't bankrupt smaller players.Google's decade-long fight with Oracle over Java API copyright culminated in a Supreme Court victory validating that reimplementing interfaces for compatibility constitutes fair use, a landmark decision protecting the ability to build systems that communicate with existing platforms without permission. Meanwhile, the Oracle v. Rimini ruling reinforced that third-party software support isn't derivative copyright infringement, even when designed exclusively for another company's ecosystem.Beyond courtrooms, international frameworks increasingly shape AI interoperability standards. From UNESCO's ethics recommendation to ISO/IEC 42001 certification, from the G7 Hiroshima AI Process to regional initiatives like the African Union's Data Policy Framework, these governance mechanisms are establishing a global language for compatible, trustworthy AI development.Whether you're building AI systems, crafting policy, or simply trying to understand why your tools won't work together, these legal precedents reveal that interoperability isn't just about good coding. It's about who controls the playground, the rulebook, and ultimately, the future of AI innovation.Send us a text

More management and insurance knowledge in my newsletter: https://www.odysseymgmt.com/newsletter Imagine a dental world where patient data flows as freely as it does in medicine—no more wasted time, lost information, or clunky workarounds. Vyne's CEO Steve Roberts sits down with me to discuss why the dental industry is ready for transformational change and what that means for claims processing, practice efficiency, and ultimately, better care for your patients. I shared my frustration at the unfairness of ptient data being gatekept just for profit. It could be happening to you - it just seems normal. But it's not right. Key Talking Points: Why Patient Data Needs to Flow Freely Dental software systems shouldn't make it difficult or expensive to easily share patient information. Uncover how the lack of interoperability holds practices back, limits care quality, and what it will take to catch up to the medical field's standards. The Evolution of Claims Processing & Real-Time Demands We talked about the trend of carriers seeing value in letting us have more access to claims and benefit information. How do we make it standard?

The 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment is America's most lethal and versatile projection of combat power. When our Special Operations Forces require precision insertion, extraction and fire support, the pilots of the 160th deliver. Born from the need to develop an aviation regiment capable of anything, anywhere, anytime, the 160th SOAR is the only Special Operations Unit to have been deployed continuously since inception.To discuss the critical role of the 160th SOAR, their command team of COL Steve Smith and CW5 Pete Sullivan invited Fran Racioppi for a ride on an MH-47 Chinook and demonstration of the AH-64 Little Birds in action. From the tail ramp, we discussed the mission of the 160th, their interoperability supporting Green Berets, Navy SEALs and Army Rangers; and the various aircraft in their arsenal. We also explored the recruiting, assessment and selection process for pilots, crew and maintainers; the culture of an organization that has a no fail mission; and how technology is changing aviation as they prepare to combat both near peer adversaries and terrorist organizations. Watch, listen or read our conversation from the workhorse heavy lift aircraft responsible for the delivery of personnel and equipment in the harshest environments.
