Clean Data. Better Care.

#HITshow with Bob Watson, Executive Chairperson, Health Gorilla “There’s been an incredible amount of noise about whether

#TEFCA was going to survive. But based on recent meetings in DC—and public comments by Dr. Oz and others—we believe TEFCA will survive inside CMS… and likely will have teeth in it.”

While enforcement may play a role, Watson emphasizes that real progress comes from real value. “I had a health system encounter just yesterday. The clinician I was seeing participates in the TEFCA network. Before I even arrived, their team downloaded 15 years of my medical records.” The result? • Six health conditions • Current treatment plans • Medication list • Refill status “That kind of information helps the physician make a better clinical decision.”

As a designated QHIN, Health Gorilla stands apart—delivering secure, real-time access to structured, de-duplicated, AI-ready clinical data that enables smarter, faster care. The company is also shaping what’s next, contributing to the recent CMS Health Technology Ecosystem RFI and advocating for a more intelligent, connected approach to data exchange. Will the future of interoperability be defined by compliance—or by platforms that turn health data into clinical insight?
