CMS, AI, & More: Is Healthcare Ready to Connect?

From Pledge to Production: with Clover Health

A major step forward for payer interoperability is here. In this episode of Kno2fy, Therasa Bell and Whitney Cole sit down with Kevin Holub, Chief Product Officer at Counterpart Health, to discuss the growing momentum around connected healthcare and what it takes to make payer data more accessible across the care continuum. The conversation explores how Clover Health and Counterpart Health are approaching interoperability differently by focusing on provider enablement, patient access, and the role claims data can play in building a more complete picture of the patient journey. They also dive into the technical and operational work required to support data exchange across national networks, the importance of supporting providers beyond large health systems, and why collaboration across the industry matters in accelerating progress. From care coordination and chronic disease management to patient empowerment and healthcare innovation, this episode highlights the real-world impact that more connected, accessible data can have across healthcare.

What if Washington Pulls the Plug? The Interoperability Contingency Plan Nobody Has

In this episode of Kno2fy, Brendan Keeler and Matt Becker join co-hosts Therasa Bell and Whitney Cole, once again, to break down what’s really happening with TEFCA, federal policy, and the future of healthcare networks. From shifting priorities in Washington to the removal of the TEFCA Manner Exception, this conversation explores how interoperability is evolving from a regulatory framework into a competitive, market-driven ecosystem. But through all the change, one thing remains constant: the need for trust at scale. If you’re trying to make sense of where interoperability is heading, and what it means for your organization, this episode cuts through the noise to focus on what actually matters.

Interoperability Without the Theater: With Brendan Keeler

Healthcare interoperability is one of the most talked-about topics in digital health, but separating real solutions from marketing claims isn’t always easy. Kno2fy is back! Co-hosts Therasa Bell and Whitney Cole are joined by Matt Becker, SVP of Interoperability and Public Policy at Kno2, and interoperability expert Brendan Keeler of HTD Health to talk about the reality behind interoperability in healthcare. With HIMSS around the corner, they get into what healthcare leaders, technology vendors, and interoperability teams should look for when evaluating solutions. They discuss why interoperability is often misunderstood, what it actually takes to connect healthcare organizations at scale, and why building trusted networks across the care continuum is harder than most vendors claim. The conversation also explores the importance of connecting the entire care continuum, including post-acute care, behavioral health, EMS, and home care to create a true longitudinal patient record. If you're heading to HIMSS and trying to understand which interoperability solutions are real and which are just “interoperability theater,” this episode will help you ask better questions and cut through the hype.
