Save the Date: July 14 – 16, 2026
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is excited to announce the 7th annual CMS & Health Level Seven International (HL7®) Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR®) Connectathon, taking place July 14-16, 2026. This virtual collaborative experience will bring together health care interoperability leaders, implementers, and innovators for three days of hands-on testing, shared learning, and alignment on how emerging CMS policies and FHIR-based solutions are taking shape in real-world systems.
Why Attend?
- Put CMS’s FHIR‑first pledges into practice. Engage with live CMS use cases—such as electronic Prior Authorization, Patient Access APIs, and payer interoperability workflows—supporting CMS’ commitment to FHIR as the backbone of patient access, payer‑to‑payer exchange, and digital quality measurement.
- Shape the future of nationwide interoperability—hands on. Work directly with CMS and industry leaders to test and refine FHIR APIs aligned with interoperability priorities, while helping shape how these policies are implemented in production across the health care ecosystem.
- Get ready for what’s required—not just what’s coming. Test against evolving requirements driven by CMS Interoperability Rules and the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology’s (ONC’s) Health Data, Technology, and Interoperability (HTI) rules, helping your organization anticipate implementation challenges, reduce rework, and accelerate readiness for what’s next.
- Collaborate with federal interoperability leads and implementer stakeholders. Join CMS, ONC, HL7 experts, and app developers in an open, fast‑moving environment where policy, standards, and implementation meet, reinforcing CMS’ pledge to build interoperability with the community, not just regulate it.
