Participant Engagement Committee Meeting June 2026

This Participant Engagement Committee meeting provides an overview of Connxus’ recent interoperability initiatives and a detailed review of the Accountable Health Communities (AHC) program that has been operating for the past two years. The session highlights national developments involving Connxus, including participation in the CMS Health Tech Ecosystem initiative, Watershed connectivity efforts, and proposed approaches to patient-directed health information access through FHIR-based technologies. The primary focus of the presentation is the AHC program, which was designed to identify patients with health-related social needs in emergency department settings and connect them to community resources and support services. The presentation also shares program outcomes, evaluation results, lessons learned, and recommendations for organizations interested in implementing similar social determinants of health initiatives.
