In late September, our Zen experts had the privilege of attending Civitas 2025 in Anaheim and CommonWell Fall Summit in Indianapolis. These gatherings brought together leaders across the healthcare ecosystem to exchange ideas, share priorities, and discuss the future of interoperability.
We want to share some of our key takeaways and what they mean for the path forward in trusted data exchange.
Key Takeaways:
Zen Leadership Perspective
From Marilee Benson, President:
“These meetings showed that the CMS Interoperability Framework is no longer an idea, it is reality. At Civitas, I saw how HIEs are stepping up as the backbone of turning policy into real community impact. At CommonWell, the focus was on scaling nationwide exchange, with TEFCA gaining real momentum. What inspires me the most is seeing our clients, across every part of the healthcare ecosystem, step up to lead. At Zen, we are proud to stand beside them, helping turn policy into practice and vision into measurable outcomes.”
From Ron Wilson, VP of Interoperability and Architecture Engineering:
“For me, it is the opportunity to meet with our clients that really makes attendance at these two conferences worthwhile. Face to face time with clients is gold. There is so much opportunity to expand and add value-added services, so time “roadmapping” with our clients is tremendously valuable to all of us.”
If you missed us at Civitas or CommonWell 2025, or wish to explore these topics further and understand their potential impact on your organization, let’s connect!
