Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Salesforce, IBM, and Oracle have joined to progress towards true health data interoperability. Their statement published by the Technology Industry Council (ITI) included quotes from all parties and four "foundational assumptions" about the current and future states of health data interoperability and means and engagement to foster the development.
