Could healthcare become more personalized with the help of technology? Probably. And one new initiative aims to help. At the end of July, the Trump Administration announced progress toward a more secure and personalized healthcare experience with the CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services).
The Administration secured commitments from major healthcare and information technology firms—including Amazon, Anthropic, Apple, Google, and OpenAI—to begin laying the foundation for a next-generation digital health ecosystem.
Here is how this can help:
- Promote an interoperability framework to share information between patients and providers.
- Increase the availability of personalized tools so patients have the information they need to make better health decisions.
- Reduce provider burden.
Looking to the future, we see more than 60 companies are agreeing to work collaboratively to deliver results for the American people in the first quarter of 2026. Also, 21 networks pledged to meet the CMS Interoperability Framework criteria to become CMS Aligned Networks and 11 health systems or providers committed to participate and support patient use. Meanwhile, 7 EHRs (electronic health records) committed to facilitate data exchange and help kill the clipboard.
This will certainly be something to watch in the years ahead. We have long talked about the need for greater interoperability. We will certainly need to keep an eye on where this is headed in the future.
