On PopHealth Week Fred Goldstein and Gregg Masters chat with healthIT industry thought leader and innovation pioneer in the health information exchange space, Dr. David Kibbe, Principal at The Kibbe Group, LLC. As a clinician, clinical informaticist and deep healthIT policy thinker and 'doer', Dr. Kibbe shares insights on the current state of the healthIT market, the future of health information exchanges, and the strategic challenges before health system or enterprise leadership to successfully navigate platforms, and implement sustainable business models that support their operations. More about Dr. Kibbe: "As of January, 2019, Dr. Kibbe is consulting via The Kibbe Group LLC. As a senior advisor, Kibbe will engage health care provider organizations and federal/state agencies to assist in their strategic planning and implementation of health information exchange challenges and opportunities via Direct and FHIR. For six years Kibbe served as President/CEO of DirectTrust, the governance body and trust framework provider for a large and growing national health information exchange network reaching 1.8 million end users at over 130 thousand health care organizations in the US year end 2018." "As co-founder of Direct Trust, a non-profit trade alliance sponsored by ONC, Kibbe served as "chief collaborationist" with a dedicated group of volunteers from hundreds of entities, whose common goal has been to create a secure, interoperable and ubiquitous means of electronically sharing information across the boundaries of organizational walls and different health IT vendor products so that providers and patients can have better, faster, cheaper access to the data and information needed to make continuously improving healthcare decisions."
