Welcome, everybody, to our hearing. Both those in the room and those that arent in the room. Before we start, i think its important, again, to note whats going on all around us, and that is the acknowledgement of Racial Injustice that has gone on for far too long in our country. I certainly support those who are speaking out and making their voices heard in a peaceful manner to bring about change. While change does not always come easily, i want to remind those watching this hearing today that change is possible. In december 2018, the first step that i first introduced became law. And i worked in partnership with several republican and democrat senators. Senator durbin was the lead person for the democrats. This law is the most significant criminal Justice Reform in a generation. A lot of people didnt think it was possible but we did it by working together, in a bipartisan way. But also working together in other ways to address racial disparities. Such as in health care, the c. A. R. E
Healthcare continuum is really in the community. So there are four walls of our care settings. The clinics, the centres, the diagnostic centres, the procedural centres, and you look at things like e. M. S. Or ambulances. How do we effectively connect what is happening in the field, and the prehospital or precare setting where patients are actually seen a lot, and is the primary mode of transit or entry into our system. So not surprisingly, the ambulances and what we call the e. M. S. Services, they brought their own version of Electronic Health records and they have a whole different electronic standard. We were able to map those standards together so that if a patient is seen by an ambulance in the field, they are able to connect and do the same kind of korey about patient formation and transmit that to the hospital or anywhere they want and pilots that we have done that came out of some initial successful pilots out of southern california, we did one in sacramento with the county fir

At the time that the e. Health exchange was stood up and really what is happening with the majority of Healthcare Organizations across the country , they Exchange Information, care summaries, and other Clinical Data. Some other networks popped up. One is the common well alliance which is a gender participation alliance, which they created their own network to Exchange Information with each other. Then i will get into the care quality which is our network, but also a framework. The sequoia project became is a private Public Partnership that oversees and manages the National Network, it is really important the work that the sequoia project is doing because they are joint hip and hip with o. N. C. Just blowing through some of the data that we have, it really is our current capability from our hospitals, exchanging care summaries at about 80 now. Finding data is about 60 now. The ambulatory providers, sharing data outside of the organizations, is probably at 40 or 50 now. When we talk abou

And while today the stages stayed silent, crowds instead gathered at the train station. We had an 11 hour coach journey. It was going down the coach, wasnt it . Everyone was sudden
